Country #21 is SLOVENIA (!!!!!) 🇸🇮 After choosing to visit Austria, we spent several days researching its surrounding countries, and we quickly decided that we HAD to see Slovenia. As always, we believe one of the best ways to get to know a country is through its food, so we dove right in and ate our hearts out in Ljubljana. 😋 Have you ever tried Slovenian food? 🌾 Next week, we’ll be sharing our day trip from Ljubljana to the world famous Predjama Castle and Postojna Cave, so get ready for a video filled with adventure! 🏰 See you next Saturday! 😁 👩🏻‍🎨 Check out my little art shop for travel-inspired pieces (and more!) - chadandclaire.com/shop

You dont show the best here!! I Dont want watch more. Is my country 🤔🇸🇮

Slovenia is the most beautiful country. Everyone could stay here for a long time.

As a Slovenian myself this makes me happy. I don't want tourists to go to McDonald's or something. I love it when foreigners taste our cuisine. Slavic food is just wonderful. Never underestimate a good Jota 😁

Watching you eat these various foods reminded me that all these dishes were made by my Hungarian grandmother. Potica next time needs poppyseed! Too bad you'll miss Budapest/not bad you'll skip Orban. 🤨 Really enjoyed the castle tour..thinking how impressive that whole cities sprang up and flourished from these remote locations. Lovely countryside! Onward and ahead...from Wisconsin 🍻😊

Like the fact that Claire and Chad cover so many different foods from the countries they visit...places I'll never see.

What month did you go? I am interested to plan a trip to Slovenia!

While you say that you don’t know all that much about wine, you certainly have so much knowledge about all the different foods you discover on your travels! I love how open to trying it all, you both are. Do you speak to the shop and restaurant staff to find out what to order, or do you need to research before you choose what to eat?

Buckwheat is very traditional in Slovenia and is gluten free. Ajdovi zganci, they give you a lot of energy and warmth. There is an old story, that God said to Slovenian people:” Where buckwheat can grow there is your land!”

Everything looks delicious! It doesn't look too crowded/touristy there, but maybe that's just because of the rain?

I love watching tourist videos of my City. It is obvilous that You really enjoyed foods and drinks here. I am glad and proud to see that. Maybe only "info" how to pronounce letter C in word POTICA (and all other slovenian words). Think about word PIZZA. So "C" here we pronounce C like you ZZ. Potizza :)

i am Slovene and it is cheaper to buy from a farmer than a grocery shop, especialy in rural parts of my homeland where i live. next thing for you to try are Vampi and Krvavica😅

The jota you had is a fast food version of the real thing. The real jota is much more liquid and tastier. It's a shame you didn't try the real one from some restaurant. It's my favorite soup.

7:28 Let me give you some advice. Every letter c in Slovenian is pronounced as tz, so pronounce the word "potica" as potitza and not as potikha.

Usually you eat jota and or ričet with klobasa.

One of our favorite places. Very underrated. Mini Paris I love the history of the architect who designed it for the people. This was not a town that was created by a church. I was really interested in how you say the word Slow-vania. We always called it loob lee ah na slo venia (like Venice). I’m not sure we’re saying it the correct way.

I live here all life and a lot of good food is not here! Dont do incomplete video! 🤔🇸🇮

ričet AND jota should have smoked pork or smoked sausage in them! and that jota looked rather pale... there'should be more beans and meat in it.... and I don't like the potatoes in it, it should be made without them

I always find it strange how foreigners (especially americans) classify food. I wouldnt call jota a soup or even a side dish. And i most ceirtanly would not say potica is a type of cake or bread. Very interesting to see how people try to classify new food in the categories that they know in their own culture

It is absolutely not necessary to fill every video with admiration. Slovenian food, as everywhere in Cisleithania, is unimaginative and primitive. Cabbage soup, boiled buckwheat and refried beans - what can be more boring. Try to dissolve your monotonous atmosphere of super excitement with a spice of irony, sarcasm and mockery. I would even say: let the irony and understatement prevail. Be funny.

Well, traditional foods are made of ingredients that were traditionally available in the region... I've travelled a bit of the world and no real traditional food anywhere on the globe that l've tried has been a gourmet experience. Only when you add ingredients from somewhere far they become more tasty and interesting.

@@DamjanP-ik5bx In my comment I was advising to dissolve the atmosphere of exaggerated “super excitement” with the pinch of irony and sarcasm regardless the reason why Slovenian food is boring. But you are right, Slovenian food is boring because it looks like a food of commoners. Talking about food in different parts of Cisleithania you can notice than not only traditional food there is boring. What can be more boring than boiled veal with boiled carrots in a broth they serve in high profile restaurants in Vienna? Or the breaded veal chop they are so proud of? At the same time traditional Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, Thai, Chinese, Indian and many other cuisines are bright and diverse.

@@ErmakBrovar It's clear that you don't know much about traditional food in general. Slovene food would be exotic for Asian people, for Central European people it is not, no wonder why. Nevertheless, does Edible dormouse (Glis glis) sound borring?, what about gibanica cake (several layers of apples, cottage cheese and poppy seeds), Soška postrv (marble trout), Bacon jam (bacon-based relish called zaseka), Blood sausages, Savinjski želodec (dried meat product named after the stomach), Kraški pršut (Prosciutto del Carso in Italian)? Considering the various geographical features of Slovenia and the influences from Italy, Austria, Hungary and the Balkans, we can say that Slovenian traditional food is very diverse. And then there are wines and brandys... Edit: we do use tomatoes you know. In Fact many Italians do appreciate Slovenian cuisine very much.
