Bedeutung
Fruit at a low price
Kultureller Hintergrund
Slovaks love 'akcie' (sales). A 'leták' (leaflet) full of 'lacné ovocie' is a primary source of reading for many households on Monday mornings. In villages, 'lacné ovocie' often comes from 'samozber' (pick-your-own) fields, especially for strawberries in June. The 'Miletičova' market is the most famous place to find 'lacné ovocie' and experience authentic local atmosphere. During the autumn, surplus fruit was often turned into 'slivovica' (plum brandy) rather than being sold as 'lacné ovocie'.
Check the 'Akcia'
In Slovak supermarkets, 'lacné ovocie' is usually found under a big red 'AKCIA' sign.
Quality Check
If the fruit is too cheap, check for 'hniloba' (rot). 'Lacné' doesn't always mean 'good value'.
