| MINCED LARD FRYED LIVER BLOOD SAUSAGES SOUR TURNIP COMPICA I choose to represent a meal from a small village in Slovenia called Podkoren. In the old days people were poor. They didn't have enough money to buy meat so they ate meat only once a year. They stabbed a pig after the first snow fell. Then they prepare a lot of different meals. But around 6th December they made frayed liver, blood sausages, sour turnip, Compica ( a meal made of pressed potatoes ), . All these meals were greased with minced lard. A lot of these meals they prepared in their own way. Gorenjska ( part of Slovenia, Podkoren is in Slovenia) was in the old days connected only with Koro¹ka ( part of Slovenia and Austria ). So the people in Koro¹ka could prepare these meals to. MINCED LARD ( use it as a grease ) Ingredients : ? Bacon ? Salt and pepper ? Garlic Instructions : Slice the bacon into a little pieces, 15x15cm. Cook them in boiling water for a few minutes. Take the bacon out of the water and wait till the bacon is cold. Grind the bacon and spice it with salt and pepper and minced garlic. Stuff the bacon into DREZA ( a coop made of wood ). Put the minced lard in a cold place and that's it.
