Gundel Palacsinta is fantastic especially served in the traditional way.

If you come back in summer, you can try töltött paprika (stuffed paprika). Will not be too hot, it is in tomato sauce. And lecsó - you will definitely like it! It is like a stir-fry from onions, paprika and tomato, can come with sausages and bacon, and at some places with an egg or some rice in it. It is the sister of the French ratatouille but originally without zucchinis and eggplant (its variants can contain them and also corn is very popular in it). You can also try rakott krumpli which is kind of a potatoe casserole. Please go for these for some "checkered tablecloth" places and not fancy touristic ones. You can find them all over the country, in the 'Újlipót' part of district 13 Budapest and also in or around the markets like Lehel Market, Újbuda Market or actually any of them (the big market at Fővám tér being the most touristic one). If you are brave you can also try something called "főzelék". What is a must is fish soup. There are two types named after two cities (Baja near Danube and Szeged near Tisza River). My personal preference is the latter one called szegedi halászlé (or hallé) but both are good. The bajai one containes very thin noodles. After some refreshning walk I would try some pastries like dobos torta, Eszterházy torta, Rigó Jancsi, somlói galuska etc. Try Túró Rudi also, you can buy it in any shop. If you have more than one day it is definitely worth visiting Szentendre (20 min train from th3 capital, famous of its art life and art museums) and of course Lake Balaton (do not miss Tihany and Keszthely Castle). If you stay in Budapest for the night you can chill out at the beach of Római part (or Népsziget or Kopaszi-gát) and Margaret Island is also a god choice at any time (I heard it also has a good hostel and it is in the heart of the city close to anything). You can make an excursion at the Normafa area and try the chair-lift. And yes, the spas but you already know it... 😊 If you have an extra day then the cave spa at Miskolctapolca or the city of Hévíz is also worth it. Thank you for coming here and visiting our country with such a nice open-minded attitude. 😊

Next time try all the following I'm curious how you find them: - túrós csusza with harcsa paprikás ( pasta with quark and fish stew) - gundel palacsinta - somlói galuska - madártej

[@pollyduron674]

Budapest will now be on my list of places to visit. I love Hungarian food already...my 30 yr old son had a Hungarian babysitter that loved to send me home with food 😂❤

[@36ydna]

you should go it's a great place.

[@eglar86]

The túrógombóc you've had is not the traditional one but the modern commercial/food factory version. The real deal we eat at home is made of cottage cheese mixed up with a pinch of salt, a small amount of sugar, wheat grist and eggs, then left to settle for 1-2 hrs, rolled into small dumplings and cooked in boiling water, and rolled around in toasted bread crumbs once done. We traditionally serve it with sour cream and many also add powdered sugar. Or even jam or compote, but that's less traditional, rather a matter of individual preference. (note: cottage cheese and sour cream are not a 100% accurate translation for túró and tejföl, respectively, but they are as close to the concept as you can get)

[@janettesinclair6279]

Budapest is now on my bucket list!

[@seantynan1]

Me too!! 😋

[@36ydna]

I live in Budapest and I am thankful every day.

[@lisa408t]

It's magical there! Take a swimsuit for the mineral baths....

[@jofereday7213]

We’re going to Budapest in May, our first visit 😊 the food looks amazing, can’t wait to try it 😊

[@tamastabi3182]

I hope you liked your stay here 😊

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Cara and Jeremy. Yum!

[@stephenhourd4653]

Another educational video for us foodies! Thanks again !

[@tamaslukacs3173]

Hi ! For the sausages: The difference between a hurka and a sausage is the filling. The sausage is always filled with raw seasoned minced meat. Its important spices paprika. The paprika will make it orange-red. The filling of the hurka is rice cooked with marjoram, cooked minced offal + spices. This is the basic mix. For the liver version, boiled liver is added to it. For the blood version, raw salted blood is added to the base. 4:56 Traditional pickled vegetables. On the right is an apple-shaped paprika. Of this, the spicy version is usually pickled. Pickled paprika also have cherry-shaped peppers. It is always pungent and mostly red in color. They are pickled either in one piece or filled with cabbage. The knife has un ram's horn (pepperoni) paprika. Here, all parts of the paprika plant are called paprika. Elsewhere, it's just the powder used as a spice. Pickled cucumber in the middle. We eat it with fatty foods, as it helps digestion. 5:45 He was a brilliant comedian, a recognized representative of the stand-up genre. In the communist system, it was not easy to joke about politics. He brilliantly used the opportunity given to him by the system.. Many of his jokes are still quoted today. 7:45 The phonetic description is about: turogombots. The resemblance to cheese is no accident. Cottage cheese is one of the steps in cheese production. This pure milk protein is pressed together to make cheese. The Sopron factory is indeed a subsidiary of Heineken, but it is a traditional local beer. It is popular together with the Dreher brand. I think both are better than Heineken. There are many versions of stuffed cabbage, as well as goulash and stew. Listen, because goulash here is always soup, and we never add sour cream. Be careful with palinka it can be tricky. Although the minimum 45% alcohol is shocking at first... Best

[@LeyteLeyte-wd4bw]

I recommend to try next time "túrós csusza with harcsa paprikás" - you will love it.

[@elder999666]

Túrógombóc has no potato in it if it's a real one. Also, you guys ate only at turistrap places. You could have ate way better and way cheaper at other places. Edit: Tejföl is not exactly sour cream although very similar.

[@matc6221]

The chicken paprikash (previously know as paprika hendle) was a dish in the Dracula novel that Jonathan Harker said made him thirsty lol. Looks yummy. BTW the noodles are mini dumplings apparently.Thanks both 🤘

[@juliea4857]

Turogomboc is absolutely traditional. My grandma used to make it. There are many other sweet dumplings that are traditional, usually with fruit. Potato dough, like gnocchi. It's too bad you missed the famous cafes and their excellent sophisticated pastries (like in Vienna). These cafes are as traditional as you can get. Of course, they are not street food and they can get expensive. SOme of the really famous ones tend to be touristy, but still worth it - New York Cafe (for the architecture too) and Gerbaud are perhaps the most famous.

[@sodapop83]

streetfood is very expensive too

[@tyutyu9331]

Get outa here. I am Hungarian and now I am hungry :D

[@ianroper2812]

You’re both looking good 👍 obviously enjoying yourselves. Keep up the good work.

What is the small black tower on the top of the Matthias Church? This little black tower is a hussar tower, which got its name because it sits on the ridge of the roof like a hussar on his horse. A hussar tower can be seen on other churches and public buildings, the XIII. became fashionable from the 19th century. Since it sits on the ridge of the roof, it must be light, so it is built from wood and given some attractive and resistant covering, shingles or slate coverings are common. Our little tower has an elegant bronzed copper mantle. Even before the renovation carried out by Frigyes Schulek between 1874 and 1896, it decorated the roof and the great master builder restored it because it divides the plane of the roof so beautifully. It also has a function: so this part of the roof is also easily accessible when the pyrogranite tiles need to be replaced. This slender tower houses the seventh and smallest bell of the church, the soul bell, which weighs only 50 kg. The soul bell is used to announce the departure of a soul from the ranks of the living. A crucifix can be seen on the mantle of the bell and the following inscription: Goss mich Anton Zechenter in Ofen 1724. In Hungarian: Anton Zechenter cast me in Buda in 1724. (There is only one older bell in the church, the 900 kg Holy Trinity bell cast in 1723.) Nowadays, it no longer functions as a soul bell: there is a big hole in it, because II. he was shot in WWII. Its tongue has disappeared and its pull rope has also disappeared, so it was taken down from the tower and is now displayed in the church as an untitled bell.

Looks a very cool place.

[@TheBalla27]

Lecsó kolbászt ögyetök. Na az maradandó élmény lesz

[@Horizontal77]

There are many delicious Hungarian dishes and cakes that are not sold on the streets of Budapest. The Hungarians are at the center of the mixing of cultures, and Hungarians have adopted many foreign dishes, which they have transformed in such a way that they are delicious for everyone, wherever they come from.

[@Eklerx2]

Good to see you enjoying the country

[@csat1078]

Lovely review. About the "hurka" & sausage: You've tasted them in the proper order as you should :), because the intensity goes that way. Normally(at home cooking for your yourself) you wouldn't eat the "hurka" by itself but with a bunch of potatoes, cabbage and as you've done it: cucumbers. Sausage with mustard + bread in itselv is something that more people would eat normally just like that. My suggestions: A) you should clarify if you are interested in what the general population tends to eat or go foodie and look for some local gourmet specialities :). B) in general hungarians love soups: my suggestion for you would be to try a simple (cold) "fruit soup" and a simple proper "chicken soup".

[@lbeepbeep]

I love how much weight you have both lost eating a European diet of good quality (none steroid enhanced) food. And lots of walking. Not only do you both look slimmer your skin is glowing and you look much healthier and happier

[@seantynan1]

That looks lovely, and I wouldn't consider it expensive at all, considering the current cost increases in Europe. Thank you both! 😃

[@hailstone7385]

Just found your channel, love it! I'm from Newcastle and my husband is Austrian and we live in Canada. I miss Greggs LOL and he misses langos!

[@Sue474]

I'm amazed to see all the English words everywhere. Did you find most people spoke English?

[@lilih8478]

I've been twice and in Budapest most people can speak English, thankfully as Hungarian is a notoriously difficult language to learn 😮 I did attempt to learn the basics before I went but can't say I got very far 😅

[@36ydna]

Most people speak or understand some English in Budapest, but it is always nice if people learn one or two phrases.

[@LILEE376]

The sausage and blood sausage is best with mustard, but the liver one is not sausage (kolbász), but it is called hurka and that is better with pickle. It is a mix of cooked liver, heart and other intestines and rice. We rarely eat it with mustard. Crunchy pickles and bread is the best choice or mashed potato.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

You made the Daily Mail website the other day not sure if that is good or bad

[@Kari_B61ex]

It was good as there were many excellent comments.

[@NeckasFBIAgent]

They did and the comments were very lovely which is a miracle for the DM

[@laszlokatona573]

Try rakottkrumpli

[@kaliou6645]

🇱🇺🇱🇺🍨You should do Luxembourg Next🍝

[@metamodernbarbell]

Tbh the Central Food Hall would probably have been cheaper than some of the places you visited. Don't eat at places with Euro menus I would broadly say. Central Budapest used to have some local food for local people, a bit less so thesedays tbh but you may do better outside of the immediate tourist zone. The quieter end of Kiraly Utca has some cheaper and/or better options for Langos and Hungarian food IMHO, for example.

[@36ydna]

You are absolutely right, anything within 0.5 kilometers of Vaci utca will be pricy.

[@snazzleflang]

3:46 To be fair, the UK is probably more known than Budapest is for it's irony

[@georginaraven1691]

That retes is monster-sized. What we normally have is MUUUUCH smaller. o.O I need to visit that place. :O As for the cottage cheese ball (turo gomboc): the one you had does not look that delicious. Prepackaged ones often are... well ewwwww. Home made ones or proper restaurant ones are really delly though! The consistency of those can vary from place to place, home to home. You can have them as a dessert or as a main dish. As a dessert, I make them fluffier, as a main dish I make them heavier for example. Some are fluffy and airy, but some are really filling. I prefer the fluffier ones. I can't get enough of the sweetened sour cream on them though, no matter the type of ball.

[@geoffbeattie3160]

Most European countries make a form of blood sausages just using different mixtures and names for it!!

[@OriginsReborn]

Hair at 7:16 👌

[@gutinstinct4067]

And the question is , ' Would you want another one of the things you ate in this vid.........OR......A GREGGS Sausage roll lol

[@endlessdreamkitchen]

💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@36ydna]

Great video! Hungary needs some good PR, the EU is trying to freeze us out.

[@erzsebetsandor1440]

Bekúszott a politika???

[@DevonMel]

Be careful with those poppy seed pastries - you can fail a drugs test because they'll detect the poppy seed as opium 🚓

[@36ydna]

Nonsense!

[@erzsebetsandor1440]

Eastern European seeds have been bred for food and do not contain any drugs

[@cs.abouttheatre]

@@36ydna No, he's right. You can absolutely fail a high accuracy drug test even if it was from the bred poppy seeds. Not necessarily, but it can happen if, for example not all the seeds were completely ripe when they harvested it. It is truly a teeny-tiny amout, but if your country has zero tolerancy, then even that little amount counts.

[@matthewrandom4523]

Völlig überbewertet, Langos & Co.

[@Pure_B]

Too many poppy seeds can make you high. 💨

[@knor1982]

I reassure you. Edible poppy seeds do not contain opium. It is often given to children as a school meal, for example as poppy seed pasta [mákostészta] (cooked pasta sprinkled with ground poppy seeds and icing sugar) or as poppy seed puffs [mákosguba] (a pastry roll rolled up, soaked in vanilla milk and topped with ground poppy seeds and icing sugar). Those for medicinal (drug) use are grown from a special type. It is true, however, that it can be detected by a drug test for a few days after consumption in large quantities.
