The home cooked workers' meals

Before the factory canteens were introduced, housewives took care of the workers’ meals − be it for their husbands or for single workers who paid women to cook for them. In the Interwar period and immediately after WWII the menus were much simpler than those listed below due to the general scarcity of ingredients. However, the gradual raising of the workers’ standard was reflected primarily in a better, more abundant diet. We present some of the most popular dishes that can still be found on the tables of Jesenice families to this day.
