Slovaks take pride in bryndzové halušky[4] (halušky with bryndza - a soft sheep cheese); a haluskar for dripping batter into stock to create the noodles is a common kitchen utensil.[5]

Halushky serve as Ukraine's national dough dish.[6]

The term halušky can refer to the dumplings themselves, or to the complete dish. Typically the dish described is noodles with sauteed cabbage and onions.[7][8]
