Our ancestors did not go through the guts, but they had learned to prepare them really delicately for some time. This is also the case for brackets we most often enjoy in the soup. The best ones are looking every year in Veľké Držkovce.

The competition for cooking soup was organized in a small village in the Bánov district for the first time ten years ago. From its original family and friendship events, it has turned into an event that has attracted thousands of people every year. "It's a meeting of people from all over the region, but also from behind it. Over the past ten years, we have grown accustomed to the fact that many are joining Great Držkovce just with this competition. From the point of view of the composition of individual cooperatives, we can say that this is an international event because there are people from Moravia, "says Mayor Marián Čerňanský.

What is the secret of a really good soup, but you will not find out in the Great Držkovce. "No one tells you. Certainly there is something specific, but what, I can not tell you, and I doubt it will be revealed by the chefs themselves, "the mayor added. The name of the village itself, paradoxically, has no connection at all. The village lies in the valley through which the field roads have been driven. "When the councilors and the landlords went to look upon their dominion, they went down the hillside, and besides the blaze. The horses raced, so the gentlemen screamed to keep the cat, hold the cat !. And that's how our name should have been, "explained Čerňanský.

Although the village was famous for its special competition, according to the mayor you can find other interesting things. "We have four cemeteries, three cultural houses, kindergarten and general water supply. Our village was founded in 1976 by the merger of three municipalities: Dolné Držkoviec, Horné Držkoviec and Čuklasoviec.

Whether it was good, hard to say. There are many projects that ask for money, but since we are a small community with barely 700 inhabitants, that money is little, "he concluded.
