The varying origins of the inhabitants have influenced the cuisine and nutritional habits in the city and its surrounding area. An ironworker’s wife will present the dishes and recipes shared among her neighbours in the kitchen of a worker’s flat and serve you breakfast (“fruštek”), which would not be complete without worker’s coffee and a piece of black bread.
