A Slovenian Platter

R recently went to a conference in Slovenia. He managed not to visit the famous Ljubljana Dragon bridge (in the great tradition of R never visiting any famous monuments in the many exotic places he visits).

He did, however meet up with a friend from the Internet he had known for years but had never spoken to in person. In an exchange of gifts, he got some Oban malt whisky, and R got a huge selection of local cheese, snacks, liqueurs and a huge venison sausage (which looks like something out of a porno movie).

Here is a “Slovenian Selection” including some of the famous sausage, some homemade bread and some cherry tomatoes which I removed from R’s plate after the photo because he wouldn’t eat them. He did not bring home any mushrooms however, although Slovenia is famous for them and his friend regularly gathers them, ostensibly because he thought they might cause problems at customs.
