High Tatras food

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Greetings again from the High Tatras, Slovak Republic.  Tonight I have Gypsy Dancing with my dinner.  The gypsies are a big issue--in a nation of 5 million, they number 500,000.  Everyone is having trouble economically, and the gypsies are resented (rightly or wrongly) as people who don't work and who steal (crops, etc.).
   Some sweets I spotted include: FLORIDA TORTA (with pineapple?), TUNEL (a "tunnel" is a "log" cake in the States),  KARAMEL VETERNIK ("windmill"), and SPICKA ("arrowhead").
   These items were on the menu of a restaurant in the High Tatras where I ate last night (Hotel Smokovec, which had the items in English):

TOMATO SOUP GORDON--cognac, cinnamon
SHEPHERD'S TATRA SOUP--leg of porc, chilli pepper, cabbage, lettuce
