They organize a christmas fair on the Vörösmarty square in Budapest every year. At the fair, folk artisans and craftsmen sell their goods which are handmade in the traditional way from natural and organic materials. The quality is guaranteed as all goods are checked by the Association of the Hungarian Folk Artists (Népművészeti Egyesületek Szövetsége).
But to be honest, I go there for gastronomy every year:) It was very cold in Budapest today. Like -4 Celsius but I felt like -10! I didn't care, I went there to eat the sausage (grilled one) with mustard, bread and with mulled wine. Beside us, a couple was eating the same and the man said to his wife:
- You know....I have been waiting for a week for this moment. Eating here this sausage!
Well, his words were not dedicated to me but I was nodding with full mouth. I know its not a fitness food, but very Hungarian and we have just once a year Christmas...haven't we?
The sausage is really very good there and you have to eat it just simply with plastic forks on paper plates as in the old fashioned Hungarian "Laci Konyha" in my childhood. Only the price is different but again....we have Christmas just once a year!
The mulled wine you will get in a "Budapest" cup which you can keep, or if you return it, you will get back some money.
And have you ever tried the Kürtös Kalács from Erdély? This special sweet Hungarian food you have to try when you are in Budapest!
