I show one of my hangouts to you. We saw more fashion waves of the pub and restaurant business in Budapest from the end of the communism, Bavarian, Greek, Irish, Italian, Turkish, Chinese and other kind of buffets, taverns, bars were opened in succession, but my eternal favourite one is the Czech…

Today it is very simple to find a fast food restaurant in Budapest. In the past it was not the same. For example, the opening of the McDonald’s in the city in the last years of the communism was a real sensation. (1988, photograph: fortepan.hu)  

Yes,’fröccs’ is an alcoholic beverage, it is very popular in Hungary again. And who do you think was one of the greatest fans of this special mix of wine and soda water? You would not think, Ferenc Puskás, the champion. (Photograph: Puskás, 1949 by fortepan.hu)  

Everybody like grilling in all over the world, but the Hungarians like standing around a cauldron for hours better. Why? I tell you. (Painting: Bogrács by Mihály Munkácsy, 1864; reproduction: Wikipedia)

What do you think I have found far from the city center of Budapest? Sometimes it is very useful to get on a train. Let me show something quite different to you! (Photograph: Kerékgyártó György)

Have you ever felt nostalgic for a funny, soggy dish? Hungarians have. I tell you the story of the meat with egg barley and I cook it for you. (On the picture: herders are cooking in their cauldron on the Hungarian Lowlands in 1942. Photograph: fortepan.hu)
