Did you Know?
- Have you ever heard about "főzelék"? It is a kind of cooked vegetable dish, extremely popular in Hungary. We prepare it by using different garden vegetables and to thicken the dish, near the end of the cooking we add roux or a mix of sour cream a nd flour to it. You must taste it! Go to "Főzelékfaló" at the corner of Andrássy and Nagymező
