Autumn is a magical season full of vibrant colors, scents, and flavors. Nature is slowly getting ready to rest, but before that, it offers us one last generous harvest. Fruit and vegetables ripen, young wine is made, apples, potatoes, and cabbage are gathered. This season is inseparably linked with the tradition of duck and goose feasts.
Autumn is generally a sign that winter is coming—a time that brings calm to our homes, the warm light of candles, and more moments for relaxation. In the past, autumn was also the time when people stocked up for the cold months—making preserves, pickling cabbage, and preparing poultry meat. Duck or goose dishes were among the most festive delicacies, often served on weekends or special occasions.
In Slovakia, duck and goose meat are a popular part of autumn gastronomy, especially in regions with strong folk traditions. These specialties are most often served with braised sauerkraut and traditional potato pancakes called lokše. Sauerkraut is rich in vitamin C and natural probiotics, so besides its delicious flavor, it also helps boost immunity—an ideal combination before winter.
