Bryndzové halušky (Slovak: [ˈbrindzɔʋeː ˈɦaluʂki]) (Hungarian: juhtúrós galuska, csírásgaluska, sztrapacska, or nyög[venyel]ő, Austrian German: Brimsennocken) is one of the national dishes in Slovakia.

[1][2] This meal consists of halušky[3] (boiled lumps of potato dough similar in appearance to gnocchi)[3][1][2] and bryndza[3] (a soft sheep cheese),[4] optionally sprinkled with cooked bits of smoked pork fat or bacon, and chives or spring onions.

[3][1][2] One of its Hungarian names, nyögvenyelő, can be translated to "pain to swallow", but despite this, it is a popular dish in the country.

[1] There is an annual Bryndzové Halušky festival in Turecká that features an eating contest.

Potatoes could be grown in harsher conditions and became a staple food for the poorer mountain dwellers, as less expensive flour was needed for the dough.
