In Slovenia, like in many other countries around the world, we celebratE the Carnival Season. For us, the carnival is called Pust. Pust scares the Winter away and welcomes the Spring to begin. Many towns in Slovenia, for example Ptuj or Cerknica, are famous for their Carnival. Like other festivities, Pust has some traditional dishes to celebrate with. This is also time before the beginning of fasting in Christianity, so the last chance to eat very rich food before Easter. The old saying tells us that Pust has to be fat, greasy around the mouth in order to have good harvest later in the year.
Among famous traditional dishes are Pustni krofi - Carnival Doughnuts and Krhki flancati - Brittle Flancati.
