Margaret introduced a ‘Taste of Hungary’ by explaining that, after a Scout Troop visit from Hungary, one of the Scouts, Balazs came to work every summer on their farm. Margaret and Bill were invited to Hungary in return for their hospitality and so were introduced to Hungarian food.
Palinka, fermented from fruit, was drunk early in the morning so, of course, we had to try that! Margaret also told us about going early one morning to caves where a long table was dressed with cheese, wild boar pate and peppers. We then tasted these traditional foods followed by Chicken Stroganoff made by Cheryl and Goulash made by Pat.
Our taster session ended with Poppy Seed Cake.
