The meal itself included many Slovakia traditions for this time of year. Before we got to the "real" food we started the dinner we these little treats. There is some special significance with this tradition which has almost a ceremonial value. I wasnt able to get a good understanding of the details but the ingredients are a wafer like base with walnuts, honey and a small peice of garlic on top. I believe it is a type symbolic gesture for prosperity and health in the upcoming New Year.
