Hungarian food is great! I am 'married' to a hungarian...we went to a great hungarian restaurant in NYC about 1 mos. ago. Do you cook the food?

[CorsairMac]

oh dear me no! If it don't cook up in the microwave or bake in the oven in under 30 mins with no prep time - it doesn't happen in my house! I live alone hun so there's only me, myself and I to feed. But I did get to spend 14 days in Hungary last Sept on a Food and Wine Tour that was just awesome!

How was Hungary?

It was amazing - truly one of those places where antique meets high-tech and they live together very well. Still shows signs of the Communist occupation especially as we got close to the Ukrainian border, but for the most part they've been able to preserve their heritage. It isn't one of those "gosh I can't Wait to get back there" places but it is well worth going to see. And I would in interested to see it again in say 10 yrs.


Welcome to the board LL....hmmm an acronym of your name be LLSD? sry hun ---warped mind here. I Loved your occupation(s?) and your sense of humour comes through on your posts! Hope to hear more from you!
