Sunday dishes

Sunday lunch was primarily always richer than that of the other days because it also consisted of meat, primarily poultry or fresh/smoked pork. In the poorer families the Sunday lunch was not much different than lunch on any other day.

For richer families the Sunday lunch usually consisted of soup and stuffed chicken; in the winter they also had roasted pork. If the soup was made of beef, then the housewives served the meat with a special sauce made of horseradish, bread and soup. As a side-dish, the housewives prepared roast or baked potatoes and seasonal salad. The sauce made of shredded apples and horseradish was served with everyday dishes.

Everyday food was rather monotonous, frugal, with only a little fat so the older people like to remember high religious feasts (Easter, Christmas), wedding and important farm works because of the good food they had then.
