OK, here is the picture of the cream I use. The dictionary says it's whipping cream.

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Cheers for that. Yes, same as the one I use but different make, will give it a try. The literal translation is hab - foam, tej - milk, now that I understand then but then szin- colour. Does that mean it isn't actually real cream but just looks like it?

Rural :wave: bye as she goes to market to buy a cow.....

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

In my Magyar/English dictionary habtejszine is whipped cream.

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Yes, it's whipped cream but the literal translation, if broken down, translates as foam milk colour.

Nobody has mentioned cooking salt but perhaps not many people in UK use it anyway? I mainly picked up cooking from my mother and she always used cooking salt in boiled veg so I do the same. It is easier to gauge the right amount than with table salt but I don't think it exists in Hungary.

Hate to keep on, this isn't just conversation, I would really like to know. If one makes a coffee cream, usually with double cream to float like home, which cream would be best to use? Has anyone tried or know, or will it be a case of trial and error?

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Might work with the one I buy if you shake it well before use as it has an amount of really thick cream and then the thinner cream - like the solid cream you used to get on top of the milk but much more of it.

Have not been following this thread as v busy at the Mo,but i recall Rural missing her Lamb,well as much as it goes against the grain as a very long standing vegetarian a friend of ours has two lambs ready up to weight and ready to go,These can be collected live or butchered and dressed if anyone has intrest let me know and i will pass it on,i am sure a meet on or near the border could be arranged.All good wishes,Mike.:(

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Hi Mike, thanks for that - do you know how much they want per lamb butchered and not butchered? Thanks, PM me if you prefer.

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Would be just the job if I was there. Won't be settled until October I should imagine. But just to let you know, there is definate interest from others I know, and myself in the future. Timing is bad for me right now. Thanks for the info, appreciated.

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Hi Rural,P.M sent.:)

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Cheers, will PM reply soon.

In the meantime, anybody else interested in lamb at a reasonable price, we would be willing to collect or go with somebody should they wish to purchase the other lamb as we could then half petrol costs.

Re: Cooking in Hungary
 

Both lambs are now taken :D

I don't buy much tinned food as I don't really know what I'm buying. This evening I opened a tin of "pacalpörkölt csülökhússal". I knew it would be stew with meat of some sort but the meat turns out to be tripe!
