What to bring back from travelling in Hungary

In her Zen channel, one of the travellers talked about the most interesting food souvenirs to bring back from Hungary.

Walking through the outlets in Budapest, she talked about the most common products that can be a good souvenir.

1.      “Sausage fences” – or as they would say in Russia “milk rivers with sour banks”. In any retail outlet in Hungary, sausages take centre stage. The variety of assortment can envy any gourmet. But the most noteworthy, in the traveller’s opinion, are Pick salami and Herz raw smoked sausage. Almost all sausages are made of finely chopped pork or beef with the mandatory addition of spices (paprika, black, white and allspice, nutmeg, marjoram, garlic, etc.). But you can find sausages made of mutton, horse meat, ass and venison.

2.      Goose liver – in Hungary it is called “libamai” or “foie gras”. There is even a tradition of raising “liver” geese in the country. This tradition is over a thousand years old. Geese for libamay are fed with corn mixed with fat. But you can also find ordinary pate, or buy natural liver, in which truffle or Tokay wine is added, as well as “block” – it is a compressed minced meat with pieces of liver in it.

3.      The wines from Balaton are inexpensive but very high quality, no worse than Tokaj wine. In Hungary, even the tip is called “borravaló”, which translates as “wine money” or “wine money”. One of the common amusements of Hungarians is wine tours to various vineyards, where there is an opportunity to taste a variety of wines.
