Slovak term or phrase: turecká káva
zdanlivo jednoduchá otázka, ale nejak si s tým neviem rady. To bude asi tým, že "turecká káva" na Slovensku je niečo úplne iné, ako by cudzinec očakával pod pojmom "Turkish coffee"

... at least if somebody orders this they will not be expecting the full-blown Turkish-style coffee - but if they complain the waiter can point to the fact that it is not Turkish, but merely "Turkish" :)

Kedze je to do jedalneho listka, tak by som dal "black (mud) coffee"

Example sentence(s):
  • The simplest method is to put the ground coffee in a cup, pour in hot water and let it cool while the grounds sink to the bottom. This is a traditional method for making a cup of coffee that is still used in parts of Indonesia.
  • This method (known as "mud coffee" in the Middle East owing to an extremely fine grind that results in a mud-like sludge at the bottom of the cup) allows for extremely simple preparation, but the drinker must be careful if they want to avoid drinking grou

Officially, The Slovak Republic came into existence on January 1, 1993. Except for a brief period during World War II, during which Slovakia was a protectorate state of Nazi Germany
