Yummmmmm
Sounds like Gram’s. Making me hungry!!
Nope Grandma wouldn’t use wide noodles! They’d be homemade egg noodles dried 3 days.
Yes she would use wide noodles.
Halušky are Slovak, not Polish. This doesn’t resemble halušky in the least bit, which is made from boiled potato dough, bacon or pork belly, and brindza (sheep cheese). Halušky originated in SK & are considered the national dish. There may be other variations but there is only one original & ”proper” way to make it. Cabbage is sometimes added & people have their own family & regional recipes, but once it becomes egg noodle & cabbage-based this has become something else completely which is simply a bastardization of culture & I’m not sure why other countries have decided to call a completely different dish by the same name. The same misinformation and cultural erasure presented here is widespread on the internet.
Your mom liked it.
My mama makes real halušky, pookie. Not this garbage. 😂
So like a fragile-ego man to be unable to take correction or criticism & then start throwing the most cliché, unoriginal insults at someone in the comments of a gd cooking website. Are you not embarassed? Get a grip.
