Peter Pollak, the former plenipotentiary for Roma in Slovakia published a cookbook of Roma cuisine. As Peter Pollák writes right at the beginning of the book, food should serve as a destroyer of even the biggest barriers. While preparing this book, he is said to have encountered the usual prejudice in Slovakia about how Roma cuisine mainly consists of eating dogs. According to him, he flipped through 2,000 pages of various Romani cookbooks and found no mention of “barking” food there.
