Slovakia's answer to the meatball question: ground pork kneaded with bread soaked in milk, garlic, marjoram and mustard, shaped into patties and pan-fried golden. Fašírky are weeknight heroes across Central Europe — crisp outside, tender inside, equally at home beside potatoes, in a roll, or cold from the fridge at midnight.
