Etymology
The word ričet is typical of central Slovenia, including Ljubljana, and derives from Styrian German ritschet or ritschert. Etymologists suggest that ričet is a derivation from two German expressions: rutschen, "to slip, slide", and rutschig, "slippery". In fact, ričet is a fairly greasy dish.[1]
It has a historical reputation of being served to prisoners.
