More great tutorials from Lubos Brieda at www.slovakcooking.com...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.slovakcooking.com/2011/blog/easter-in-slovakia/">Slovak Easter traditions</a> are definitely quite unique! They basically consist of guys chasing girls around with switches weaved from willow branches and also pouring buckets of cold water on them. The girls then reward the guys with beautiful decorated Easter eggs, and other treats like <a href="http://www.slovakcooking.com/2011/recipes/kolache/">home-made kolache</a> and shots of slivovica, the East-European plum brandy. <br />

Sišky or pampúchy (Slovak donuts) are commonly served during Slovak carnival or Mardi Gras celebrations. Here's a recipe from our friend, Lubos Brieda's Slovak cooking blog. It also includes the Slovak fairy tale (rozprávka) which tells the story of a small pampúch, pampúšik.

From the time of feast of the Three Kings until Ash Wednesday Slovaks celebrate the tradition of Fasiangy (similar to Mardi Gras and Carnival). Today's blog post begins a series of Fasiangy-related posts. The first is a Fasiangy video from Oľšavica, Slovakia which is about an hour south of Stará Ľubovňa near the Polish border.<br />
