Looking to find out more about my son’s family on his mother’s side. Apparently they lived in Gorizia during the1930s & 1940s but their actual hometowns were nearby Vipava and Monfalcone. Very complicated and bloody history – those years and that region. Last names Kobal and Postojna. They left the country in 1948 as refugees.

In Gorizia there is no “Slovenian cuisine”; Slovenia itself does not have its own cuisine. What is called “Slovenian cuisine” today is nothing more than a combination of Italian and German cuisine. So it’s Slovenia that is influenced by Italian cuisine, not the other way around.

Maybe if you’re not from around here, you might think the cuisine of Gorizia is “Slovene” or “German”, because you’re not used to seeing it, but it’s not: it’s very much Italian. The food you find in Gorizia can also be found in other places in Italy, especially in the alpine regions and in the north in general.

Italian cuisine is more than just what you find in Naples or Sicily, you know.
