Do you have similar dishes in your country? If so, how are they called?

Those two are from Slovenija. Both are rolled dough with walnut and raisins.

Left – "Orehovi štruklji" – are steamed or wrapped in cloth and boiled.

Right – "Orehova potica" – is baked in the oven

    We don’t have the left, but something like the right [usually comes in a bit more of a “braided” form](https://bettybossi.de/de/p/russenzopf/) here and is called a “Russenzopf” (= “Russian Braid”, whereas just “Zopf”/”Braid” is our name for an [unsweetened and unfilled braided bread](https://www.bettybossi.ch/de/Rezept/ShowRezept/BB_BRUN110415_0008A-80-de) that is typically eaten on Sundays).

    Although the typical “Russenzopf” is not with walnuts and raisins, the filling is usually hazelnut based.

    In Spain they’re called “Gipsy arm”
    The names stay the same no matter the fillings, and the fillings can be sweet or salty.

    Looks like “rulo kek” but i am not sure

    Sure in Serbia there is štrudla (poppyseed,walnut, carob even) and it can be salty also, although not that popular.

    Now in Slovakia this is also štrudľa (apple, poppyseed,walnut, poppyseed with sour cherry, and popular sweet cheese, something like cottage cheese with added sugar and vanilla essence, pudding), there are also some weird ones like zucchini and cabbage sweet ones, also salty ones with potato, leek ,bacon, or red cabbage and so on…

    Now for the left there is something similar called [parená buchta](https://varecha.pravda.sk/recepty/parene-buchty-fotorecept/25909-recept.html) filled with jam, sweet cheese or Nutella, but there is nothing like steamed štrudľa, there is something similar shape called [parená knedľa](https://varecha.pravda.sk/recepty/domaca-parena-kysnuta-knedla-fotorecept/49922-recept.html) .

    Transylvanian Hungarians have the right type with walnut (diós kalács) or poppy seeds + raisins (mákos kalács), I prefer the latter.

    Marmor kage (marble cake) in danish. I think.

  8. We have both in Poland but with a sweet poppy seed filling – called Makowiec

    The Austrian version is slready given so I’m sharing the Russian on: мaковый рулет (makovy rulet)
