Food is not only a component of the material world, but it also plays a vital role in economic, social, and symbolic practices. In the past, food production and consumption on the part of the Slovenian population strongly depended on regional origins and the local economy. Some such regional products include olive and pumpkin seed oils. Pumpkin seed oil has had a special role in the diet of the inhabitants of the Goričko region. Today it is an important factor in economic development as well as an expression of regional affiliation and local cuisine. The Styrian-Prekmurje pumpkin seed oil from the north-eastern part of Slovenia has been protected in the European Union with the Geographical Indication-PGI. ; Hrana ni le sestavina materialnega sveta, temveč ima pomembno vlogo tudi v gospodarskih, socialnih in simbolnih praksah. V preteklosti je bila proizvodnja in poraba hrane prebivalstva na Slovenskem močno odvisna od regionalnega izvora in lokalnega gospodarstva. Med regionalne proizvode sodita tudi oljčno in bučno olje. Bučno olje je imelo v prehrani prebivalcev Goričkega posebno vlogo in je danes pomemben dejavnik gospodarskega razvoja, pa tudi izraz regionalne pripadnosti in lokalne kulinarike. Štajersko-prekmursko bučno olje iz severovzhodne Slovenije je v Evropski uniji zaščiteno z geografsko označbo-PGI.

This paper deals with appropriation and protection of local food and culinary tradition in contemporary Slovenian society. Food culture is an important part of national and regional heritage, and thus has not just economic, but also political and social importance. As a segment of the lifestyle and culture of Slovenians, it has not been particularly closely studied by ethnologists. During the last decades, Slovenian ethnologists focused research on several related subjects, particularly typical local dishes and food products and on protection of their geographical indications and designations of origin within the European Union. In 2008, Slovenian Parliament ratified the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003), a result of which is the work on the making of the Slovenian Register of Living Cultural Heritage. It is in this manner that ethnologists try to draw attention to the significance of local products and dishes that are a part of the intangible heritage. A number of interesting questions have arisen during this process, for example how to present the food culture of various social and ethnic groups that live in Slovenia; is the culinary heritage of Slovenians truly as uniform as has been indicated and presented up to the present; when do certain foods and dishes become culinary heritage; and if food and foodstuffs are a part of tangible or intangible heritage. *** Članek obravnava rabo in zaščito lokalnih jedi in izročila prehrane v sodobni slovenski družbi. Kultura hrane je pomemben del nacionalnega in pokrajinskega izročila in zato ni le gospodarsko, temveč tudi politično in družbeno pomembna. Etnologi je niso pogosto raziskovali kot del načina življenja. V zadnjih desetletjih so se slovenski raziskovalci zanimali za več povezanih tem, zlasti za krajevno značilne jedi in prehranske produkte in za zaščito njihovega geografskega izvira in oznak na ravni Evropske unije. Leta 2008 je slovenski Državni zbor potrdil Unescovo Konvencijo o varovanju nesnovne kulturne dediščine (2003), kar je spodbudilo pripravo Registra žive kulturne dediščine. Na ta način si etnologi prizadevajo opozoriti na pomen krajevnih izdelkov in jedi iz vidika nesnovne dediščine. Ob tem pa se je nanizalo nekaj zanimivih vprašanj: npr., kako predstaviti prehransko kulturo različnih družbenih in etničnih skupin, ki živijo v Sloveniji; ali je kulinarično izročilo Slovencev res tako enovito, kakor se je kazalo do zdaj; kdaj določena hrana in jedi postanejo kulinarično izročilo; in, ali je hrana del snovne ali nesnovne dediščine.
