Beef broth

The photo shows beef broth. Not so long ago, meat was only on the table on Sundays when Mom cooked beef broth. Only in wealthier families was there a roast for Sunday lunch, and for the most part each family member was given only a little piece of meat from the broth whereas in the poorer families all of the meat was reserved for the father, who was the only breadwinner. Lunch was always at 12.00 sharp. In more recent times, slurping beef broth went hand in hand with the mandatory ‘Avseniki’ (The Avsenik Brothers Ensemble) music and ‘Congratulations and Greetings’ on Radio Triglav, the local Jesenice radio station. Therefore, we still refer to this type music as ‘beef’ music.
