Re: End of Liberal Hungary?

Whilst self sufficiency may be an option in rural areas it is obviously not an alternative in Budapest. My bins are raked through every day. There are shacks lived in by homeless people at the...

Re: End of Liberal Hungary?

Re: Is horse meat traditional Hungarian cuisine?

I have found salami made from horse in Budapest. It is quite common here- have not bought any though. I am not too fond of Hungarian salami and am not really about to try a new variety.:)

Re: Heatwave

Hot. Temperatures in Budapest have broken an 87 year record. It was up to 35.9 o C yesterday. It was 38 o C in Szeged. I can tell you I was baking at 35.9 degrees in Budapest- glad that I was not...

Useful yes, but very lame when it comes to the Media Law. But then Nick Thorpe (the BBC Hungary correspondent) is a bit biased. The stuff that never gets reported in the BBC about Hungary is...
