Traditionally 'žlikrofi' are served with 'bakalca' sauce – a sauce made of lamb and vegetables.
All in all, Idrija and its vicinity is the place to go for people who enjoy good cuisine. Idrijski žlikrofi as one of the few nationally protected dishes with a traditional reputation are made of dough, filled with potato, chives, marjoram and cracklings, and formed in a specific shape.
Due to their delicious taste and refined shape, they are often served
at diplomatic events. Their shape is said to remind of the headgear of
French generals... Speaking of the French, we are obliged to boast with
the fact that the great love of Napoleon Bonaparte came from Idrija.
Eve Lucia Cecily Victoria Emilia Kraus was also known as the 'Dog
Countess'. Dressed as a lieutenant, she accompanied him in his greatest
battles. Why Dog Countess ... find out yourselves.
During the Idrija Lace Festival all visitors are kindly invited to
visit the Miner's house where it is possible to see the whole process
of making 'žlikrofi' and you can also taste them yourselves.
