Have you ever been in Bratislava?

This picture is a garlic soup with beans in a bread as a soup dish. It’s very typical in Slovakia, and those cold days remind me this dish.
Mmmmmmm!!!!! When you taste it you immediately feel warm…

As you can see in the picture, on the left side of the plate, there is a mint chewing gum!
Yes, it is!
It’s just because you can eat as much garlic soup as you want and when you finish there will be no problem with bad breath!!
It’s fantastic!!!
Definitely, we must try to introduce this idea in Catalonia … eating mint chewing gum after the ‘carn a la brasa amb all-i-oli’!

Anyway, Slovakia is a great place to be for a weekend, with perfect gastronomy and very good beer….

’Na zdravie’!!!!!!
