Quote: “Despite so many women in Slovakia working, the idea remains that a mother who would not see to it that there was a warm meal for her family to eat, even if it means each member of the family heating it up themselves, is a mother who is not playing her part in watching out for her family.”
We should cherish the few Slovak women that try to provide healthy diet for their children, preparing complete meal every day. Conversely, some American women consider heating up a hamburger cooking. Sadly enough, many Slovak’s are hankered by these fast foods, or ready to eat dishes, that are commonplace in America. Actually, most of the fast food is just original meals from other countries, spoiled by the commercial culture. And we would feed on it, even on Sunday dinner. But try to walk into an original Italian pizzeria and ask for “extra thick dough” or ketchup. In Sicily, you would be probably killed.
Also Americans have some eating habits that are worth mention and conversely, many of them are being screwed up by Slovaks. For example, Slovaks would denote any act of putting a peace of meat on fire and wait until it is red, which means ready to eat, a barbecue. But the word barbecue comes from Texas, referring to a slow process of cooking the meat on charcoal at a medium temperature. It would allow the meat to be well cooked, but not burnt – which often happens at Slovak grill parties.
Few months ago, I came across an interesting article
