Eileen Aldis i am hungarian, Market Hall is actually expensive, it is mostly for tourist to eat and buy souvenirs what you ate after the gulyás soup i never saw this dumplings with cheese, it is absolutely not traditional hungarian food, it came from north, border of Slovakia, your pronunciation is terrible, but nice to try :) you should go to Bors Gasztrobár this is the best place in Budapest if you want to east.delicious soups and baguetts, just check their facebook page and if you want to eat Hungarian food visit Hunyaditéri Piac csarnok so cheap for locals and you can taste the best foods
YES! That explains why I love sour cream so much. I must have inherited my Grandfather's Hungarian DNA for sour cream. There's no such thing as too much.
Budapest citizen here. You're really cute trying to say Hungarian words and sometimes you guess right, so no problems with there. Trust me, our language is really hard to pronounce correctly :D Hungarians usually eat hamburger well done, and not rare, as they served it for you. In addition to the video, the places you've shown are the typical "tourist traps". A lángos usually costs between HUF 300 and 500. A kürtős kalács costs around the same, if you walk more into the "not so touristy" parts of the city.
What do you mean by chemical laden mixes? All you need for langos is dough, sour cream and cheese. Very cheap ingredients. The worst that can happen is that the cheese is a cheap variety. Nothing to worry about.
i love budapest, especially during the winter with hot wine and goulash. Also, the budapest castle has some of the best views i've ever seen. Can't wait to go back!
The dumplings are called nokedli. It's a soft kind of pasta, really delicious, and you are considered a terrible housewife in Hungary if you can't make nokedli :D As for the other dish, I haven't got a single idea what she ate. :D
Search for those cakes as "Zserbó" at other cheaper places. Calling it "Gerbeaud Cake" makes it cost 10 times more than it should, it is a traditional and easy to make dessert dish. You can also make your own :)
Yes, that kind of rip off happens time to time in Hungary. The int. airport at Budapest sells 0.5L bottled water (each) for 4 USD. Now then, 12 of these bottles 12x 0.5L sells in the UK for 2 USD(1.69GBP). Taxi rides also expensive, and there is a minimum fare rate, that is fixed by the government. There were some cheap taxi business, but they were put out of the business, cos they were too cheap.
Stumbled across your videos while doing some research for my own trip to Budapest. I absolutely love your style of video; the historical anecdotes add so much to all of the places you are talking about! I'm so excited to go to Budapest now :)
@@EileenAldis Just right to Budapest there is a city called Vecsés (the city that has the liszt Ferenc airport) Basically the more modern countryside with some people knowing english but very little restaurants. Go to some bigger city but not too big.
So I'm heading there in the morning. First timer. Coming from Palermo, Sicily which I can tell you is a must see. Thanks for the video. I'll report back with some feedback once I've hung out for awhile. Yes, I subscribed - your video is fabulous.
Your burger was prepared “medium”, which is rhe default method.(And also the tastiest.) But you can always ask to make it either raw or well done. In fact, when you order, they usually ask, how you want your burger.
Awesome video, as we are preparing for Budapest this was spot on, thank you guys! And lol you reminded us of what we do sometimes watching others in restaurants etc:D:D:D
This randomly popped up on my recommendations and I loved it!☺️ I’ve been to Budapest once, love and miss the food, and would definitely want to go again😍
I watched your Budapest videos before I went there last summer, and now I'm rewatching them because I loved that city so much. Wish I had spent more time there. The cuisine is marvelous!
Thanks for posting this video me and my sister are going to Budapest in November and the food looks delicious I'm a big fan of Italian food to so will give this restaurant a try.
Hey! Hope you and your sister had a great time in Budapest! Did you try the baths and ruin bars as well? Here are our other Budapest videos: bit.ly/budapestplaylist Would love to hear about your trip. Budapest is beautiful at Christmas too. :)
Just found your channel because I am thinking of studying abroad in Budapest! Your videos could not be more professional/well made AND helpful! I think you're helping to convince me to go there.... ;) love it all!
Lagos is pronounced Langosh (a single s makes the english sh sound). The Christmas Markets are amazing in Budapest and you can also treat yourself to many classical theater concerts that are normally too expensive in other countries :)
I have a beautiful memory of having duck in the Fisherman's Bastillion. I had my own fancy table under a crystal chandelier looking over the Danube. I also had the best onion soup ever in a cafe bar not far from the Parliament. Still have dreams of that soup.... And I went in 2011. Love your videos as always!!
The sandwich at 4:55, what was it? Is it like a Rueben sandwich? A rueben has corned beef, sourkraut, swiss cheese and thousand island dressing or "Russian" dressing. Basically the same stuff that McDonalds puts on the Big Mac sandwich.
In Zing, the meat is done medium-rare, so you can feel the real taste of beef. If it would have well-done, the beef would loose most of its taste. It is not a Hungarian speciality, its worldwide.
I couldn't agree even more. As a chef, or even cook, you have a responsibility of showcasing food in its right form. I get discouraged when someone orders food cooked beyond what its meant to be. Growing up I have made lots of seasoned ground pork and beef that was not cooked. I never got sick, and I knew when the seasoning was on point. Contrary to belief.
@@walterredfield9379 Don't know if this is true, but I read that ground hamburger rare can allow more bacteria to form from its exposure, than a rare steak because it is enclosed until you cut it open.
Hi there! I love Budapest and its culinary culture. When I visited Gerbeaud, I once passed it up for its pricing, but returned on a later trip, eager to have a luxurious coffee and dessert. They offered a plate of mini-squares of three or four cakes, all of which were so well-crafted that I didn`t actually want to eat them. I appreciate fine pastry work. Now, I can`t tell you about the Gerbeaud coffee, but if those cakes were any indication, I`d say it would be worth it. Also, you could find equally professionally baked cakes at Ruszwurm Cafe in the Castle District, and one of the Szamos Cukraszda shops around town. There are others, of course, but those come to mind. And if you`d like to try to make some of these fine recipes, buy Kaffeehaus, the Exquisite Desserts of Vienna, Budapest and Prague, written by pastry master Rick Rodgers. He will even answer your questions about his recipes if you write to him, as I have.
That's exciting, Peter! We made a series there, including other food stuff, I hope you'll find helpful: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. Have a wonderful time!
I am Mexican. I was brought up to the States when I was a teen, and everyone thought I was Hungarian because of my accent. Any way I had my very first hamburger and it was just like the one you had. Let me tell you, it was the most delicious hamburger ever. I love the taste of the beef. Hey great video 👍
Regardless of how good the burgers might be in Budapest, I would never consider them Hungarian food. There is a pastry shop at the grand market that sells excellent poppy seed pastries. As for goulash, some are better than others. Definitely avoid the tourist trap places, as their food will be bland and boring.
Sadly burger places here cannot produce constant quality. I would recommend black cab at Rákóczi út 19, or burger market at király street, or bajor söröző at karinthy street. Have fun.
Zing is a safe bet if you are hungry and happen to stumble upon one. I believe the meat is clearly stated to be made medium unless specifically asked otherwise. Medium is a good compromise, rare requires high quality meat, well-done kills all the beefy flavours. IMO.
Helloo:) I’m hungarian,and it’s great that you tried out the tradicional foods,but unfortunately you guys found th most expensive places!! Kürtöskalács and Lángos are much cheaper! It was great to see your video! Oh and Zing is not the best burger place in Hungary. I would recommend BAMBA MARHA for the best burger in Budapest! The meat is only pink in Zing:)
Hi! Im from hunary. Im very excited when i see this vidio because you eat the special foods but for me and the hungarian people’s its usual. You are the best youtober!!!
Awesome! Hope you have a great time! We made a bunch of other videos about Budapest if you want to check them out before you go. Highly recommend visiting a ruin bar and the baths too: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist :)
OH maaaan!!! It feels unreal! For 2 years and a half, I've been dreaming about my Central Europe trip, and only got to do it last month. And now, I'm still watching vlogs and reading blogs about Budapest-Vienna-Prague, and I finally get to relate to so many things and say "Omg!! I was there" , I did try the vegetarian goulash at the exact food truck you have on the footage, and it was not as good as I expected it to be. But everything else in Budapest in breath-taking, sooo yummy and so worthvisiting! I can't wait to go back there for a longer period of time :D
Hi! That's so awesome!! Sounds like you had an incredible trip! What were your highlights? What a coincidence that you ate at that food truck. Sorry to hear that one wasn't great but sounds like you had other delicious Hungarian food while in Budapest :) We have a whole playlist of videos from Hungary if you want to bring back more good memories! It's here: th-cam.com/video/MX2F13JJt9o/w-d-xo.html and also playlists from Vienna (th-cam.com/video/yMOikfuufxs/w-d-xo.html) and Prague (th-cam.com/video/eBKt7bzxe8c/w-d-xo.html).
i love this video so much! i’ve been dying to go to Budapest with my boyfriend so i’m definitely on it now. looking forward to seeing all your travels 😊
I"m hoping to get over to Budapest at some point this year, to do some sightseeing & trying the food over there. I'll be sure to try out the foods you listed, the goulash & lángos and chimney cake and more. I"m so excited for when I can do so.
Oh wow, that'd be amazing! I hope you're able to visit and enjoy all the things we did and more! We were there in December and it was wonderful to experience the Christmas markets but I'd also love to see the city come alive during the summertime too. Don't forget to try the baths! :)
The interesting thing is that the Hungarians do Italian food really well. The best Italian restaurant I have been to outside of Italy was in Kesckemet - near the train station. I hope it's still there when I go back next year.
A Hungarian friend of mine took me to Budapest in 2017. What a great experience, especially considering I’m from a small town in Florida. What an astonishingly beautiful city!!! Spoiler alert: I must say up front that if you have a wheat allergy, it’s very hard to find sans gluten in Hungary, or most cities in the Eastern countries. That said, considering my friend spoke Hungarian, I found lots of delicious things to eat., although I drooled at his pastries, dishes with pasta, and so many street foods. My favorite place was the outdoor farmers market where we bought fresh bags full of paparikas (hot and sweet). Get both! You can’t buy it in USA that fresh!! My friend took time to teach me the transit system so, one day, he had family business to do, I had a blast exploring Pest on my own going to places he wasn’t interested in; hint, hint, really great shopping!!!! Didn’t buy much but had a great time looking and taking lots of pictures. We planned yo go back March 2020 but everything went crazy a week before departure. We almost went anyway believing the pandemic wouldn’t effect us. Glad we didn’t!! Looking forward to visiting again in the safe future. An add on: Austria, Czech (Praque!!!) and Croatia are also beautiful countries to visit.
My mother is Hungarian and my grandfather was from the Hungarian countryside. Except for the goulash, I can't recall eating the food that you ate in those restaurants in Budapest. The goulash my mother made was heartier being filled with more beef and vegetables than what you had. You made not mention of paprika. Paprika is synonymous with Hungarians cuisine. I've never been to Hungary. It is good to see what the people ate in Budapest. Thanks.
@@EileenAldis Also gerbeaud is just a fancier way to say "zserbó" so the tourists can pronounce it. Just don't go to any place that you can pronounce. Basically.
Hi I just stubbled on your channel and I really enjoy your videos!!! My husband and I are going to Central Europe this coming May and we can't wait... Prague, Vienna and Budapest and also Salzburg . We are also from Canada! Thank you for your great videos, I'm taking notes :)
Hey Rachel! That's fantastic to hear and sounds like an incredible trip you have coming up! I haven't been to Salzburg (yet!) but it's #1 on my wish list for another trip to Austria. My sister has been and absolutely loved it. So much great music history there too. Hope you have a wonderful time!
Im living in the suburbs of Budapest, i tried it about a few months ago and I can tell u it was amazing!! The only problem is the enormously expensive price of it which is a shame
Hi, as a non-native Hungarian who lives in Budapest, I really enjoyed your video. I had not heard of the Karavan - street food truck place, so I am definitely taking my kids there next time we eat out. Thanks for the tip!
Strapačky is a Slovak dish, similar to bryndzové halušky where the base compound of the dish is halušky; however, instead of bryndza, stewed sauerkraut is used. Residents of Veňarec, located in Hungary approximately 80 kilometers from Budapest, have held a Festival of Strapačky every Septemb
My birth father is directly from Hungary 🇭🇺, and since you mentioned a lot of burger places along your way, this explains my brother and I's obssession with burgers. I am also highly awed at the structures and buildings of this place. My Brother and I's birth father lives in a small town called Pomaz which is a hour away from Budapest he tells me, but the rest of my birth father's family lives in Budapest. My foster mom told me that my birth father would always bring me Hungarian Pancackes with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar and I could never get enough as a toddler. So I plan to make them soon to see if I still like them. I do believe they said I didn't like Apricot jelly so they changed it for a different flavor. Anyway, cant wait to see what else this country holds. I always love learning about Hungary.
The burgers we get used to are called fasirt..a little different than a traditional 'fast-food burger'. It's a common food that is eaten with many vegetable dishes, can be eaten hot or cold. Your pancakes are palacsinta...my favorite was chocolate too, and i did love the apricot jam one too..i wasn't crazy about the cottage cheese one..now i love it! :)
@@Joe-ly3si That sounds awesome. I would love someday to try a Hungarian Burger. I'm sure I would like it. It might be slightly different than in Hungary, but the general concept of Hungarians love burgers sounds good to me, lol
You and Mark absolutely make my day. Every video brings me a huge smile! The humor and quirks between you both are so addictive! Your descriptions are divine and I love your use of quirks and metaphors to tell the story of your adventures. Lángos with paprika?! MMMMMM yum. Oh and cherry colas are amazing! My favorite: Adding cherry flavoring to root beer. The. Best. Ever.
Umm yes they are very f*cking good. For exaple there is small “wooden house” next to Nyugati Pályaudvar where a small kürtőskalács costs 320 Ft and it’s sooo delicious (not even just for the price). I always have to buy one when I’m in neighbourhood, nooene can resist the smell.
Enjoyed your view on Hungarian food....You had gulash soup, not gulash - which is completely different meal, based on similar ingredients. Dumplings with cheese are turos nokedli, but I can't be sure what the third one is. Is it stewed cabbage? Can you please describe it?
Thanks, Larisa :) We made a bunch of videos in Budapest, including lots more about food, if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. I especially loved eating at the beautiful Christmas markets 🎄
This is the supposed way to eat burgers everywhere.We treat a burger like we treat a nice steak: nothing put inside the meat, only some pepper and salt on the outside, and medium rare. You can always ask for a medium, or well done if you prefer tho.
Colour is not always a reliable indicator; burgers that remain pink but have been cooked to an equivalent time and temperature combination in should be safe.
Many people have died in the U.S.A. from E-Coli bacteria outbreaks from fast food restaurants. The first outbreak happened 3 blocks from my home in Seattle in 1988 and a neighbor toddler died from eating Jack-In-The-Box rare cooked burger.
your video made my day!... it was really nice! i enjoyied every second of your video!.. if the coronavirus ends in august.. we will visit budapest and we will tast every meal frome there!!!! thank you !!!!!
That was a great video Miss Tour Guide! You and Marc looking so cute besides! Funny zooming in on the guys arm of couple. Like a TV show 😄. You and I would have been sitting in that ornate building for hours checking out all the details and discussing. Truly incredible! I second you on the sour cream. I would like that bread. Not sure what I'd want to try (food) however, but do know Something that "they" are on the map for. When in Rome, Roam! I'd probably buy a coffee drink, just so it wasn't sweet. I love espresso with lemon twist otherwise. You could find those little soup pots on line. They are cute! 😍 Thanks for another great tour!
So glad you enjoyed it, Paul! That's exciting you're headed to Budapest soon. We made a series there with lots more information I hope you'll find helpful: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. Have a wonderful time!
2:00 that two dish was "Kapros-juhtúrós galuska " or "Kapros-juhtúrós nokeldi " same food different name. The other is "krumplistészta" if you tasted potato in it if you tasted cabbage then it was "káposztástészta" . we had it a lot in school :D
I am so impressed I decided to subscribe your channel. I used to be a frequent visitor in Budapest years ago but l haven’t been there for quite a while it means couple of years. What a pity l haven’t found vlogs of yours earlier😆
Thank you! Yes, we loved visiting Budapest and making our series there. I wonder if you'd find it changed on a future visit. I'd love to visit in summertime next :)
The two foodnames that your asking: One was probably "Tojásos nokedli" (handmade noodles with egg, used to serve with chees on it) and by the video or "Káposztás cvekedli" (that is pasta with cabbage grilled to fine...mostly sweet, with sugar, salt and pepper...the cvekedli name comes from german, or slovak) or "Krumplis tészta" (Pasta with potatoes...boiled potatoes are plumbed and fryed s.times with onion, salt, pepper and mixed with boiled pasta) :D
What do you most want to try out of everything in this video?! My favourite is goulash! ❤️

Eileen Aldis I am Hungarian+ some people give foreigners things very expensive,like some pálinka (alcoholic drink) for 200 dollars!!
Most of the burgers here are well done or medium well. We rarely see anything below that.
I live in Budapest,dm me if you want pots like those and i'll post you one.
Eileen Aldis where did you ate the so said "best sandwich of your life" you didn't mentioned it, and I'm dying to know! :)
I'm a simple Pole, I see Hungary, I click
Thank you!! Same with Poland:-)))
Reminds me i am hungarian and i have a Poland friend in a game
My wife’s Hungarian, I love that the Poles and Hungarians really have a connection.

"Not enough sour cream." Atta girl! I adopt you as a Hungarian.
Woohoo!
YES! That explains why I love sour cream so much. I must have inherited my Grandfather's Hungarian DNA for sour cream. There's no such thing as too much.
So true! There is NEVER enough sour cream! (Lmao can u tell im from hungary lmaoooo)
Same in Ukraine & Lithuania! You always need more Sour Cream!!
Are you a Hungarian living in Hungary?
If you want try the best hungarian foods, you have to visit the country villages. Not the the most expensive restorants. :)
Like in most of slavic countries, best foods are from grandmothers :D they continue tradition of taste
@@ErZu_ im not sure if I misunderstood what you meant but Hungarians are not slavs
True of most countries! The capital city is usually not the best place to have the most authentic food
@@ErZu_ how to make a hungarian grandma cook for you?
She thinks that in Budapest a 5 star restaurant is cheap and she will drink instant coffe :))))
Hungaryan people are wery warm i like them i used to drive van from Slovenija to Budapest i always had a great time
Hungarian* Slovenia*
Aww i'm from hungary and live in England and it's so nice to see people talk about Hungary like this brings a massive smile on my face :)
Lenard K I know the feeling, I am Serbian, living in UK. I do love and make Hungarian food, very similar to our food though.

Woo we love Poland too!

800+ Ft for a langos? Damn you got ripped off. It costs half that in the street and it tastes the same. It's a street food after all.
I was going to say, everywhere they went seemed awfully pricey to me. We found plenty of places were you get a coffee for just a dollar.
Well, Budapest is chock full of tourist traps, I'm not blaming anyone for falling for them eventually.
Anything more than $1 for a langos is way too much.
So many langos places use (chemical laden) mixes. Which places start from base ingredients? Was there this time last year; mid May '17.
What do you mean by chemical laden mixes?
All you need for langos is dough, sour cream and cheese. Very cheap ingredients. The worst that can happen is that the cheese is a cheap variety. Nothing to worry about.
i love budapest, especially during the winter with hot wine and goulash. Also, the budapest castle has some of the best views i've ever seen. Can't wait to go back!
Try the view from the Citadel at sunset, you won't regret it!
Side dish was "nokedli" (galuska).
Thank you for telling me! I loved it :)
Your very welcome! 😊 It is my favourite!! 😉
Kovacs--What is in it? Thank you.
Kovacs--Are you referring to the dumplings or the other dish? Thank you.
The dumplings are called nokedli. It's a soft kind of pasta, really delicious, and you are considered a terrible housewife in Hungary if you can't make nokedli :D
As for the other dish, I haven't got a single idea what she ate. :D
Gerbeaud is the most expensive place in Hungary to buy a cake. (4-5X price)
I can believe it! :)
Search for those cakes as "Zserbó" at other cheaper places. Calling it "Gerbeaud Cake" makes it cost 10 times more than it should, it is a traditional and easy to make dessert dish. You can also make your own :)
No kidding. $30 for 2 pcs ok cake, a cappucino and espresso. Damn near fell off my chair had I been sitting.
ja 2250 már kapsz egy száraz torta szeletet.

I'm going next year, which places would you recommend?
@@EileenAldis Just right to Budapest there is a city called Vecsés (the city that has the liszt Ferenc airport)

That's exciting, Peter! We made a series there, including other food stuff, I hope you'll find helpful: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. Have a wonderful time!
I am Mexican. I was brought up to the States when I was a teen, and everyone thought I was Hungarian because of my accent. Any way I had my very first hamburger and it was just like the one you had. Let me tell you, it was the most delicious hamburger ever. I love the taste of the beef. Hey great video 👍
Loved it there... weather, food, spas, and people are cool. Going back next year..
Agree! Hope you have a wonderful trip :)
Personally I think that Zing is very far from being the best burger in Budapest.
Hi there, I'd love to hear your favourite burger spots - what would you suggest?
Hello, Attaboy or Magic Burger...both are much better than Zing.
Regardless of how good the burgers might be in Budapest, I would never consider them Hungarian food. There is a pastry shop at the grand market that sells excellent poppy seed pastries. As for goulash, some are better than others. Definitely avoid the tourist trap places, as their food will be bland and boring.
Sadly burger places here cannot produce constant quality.
I would recommend black cab at Rákóczi út 19, or burger market at király street, or bajor söröző at karinthy street.
Have fun.
Zing is a safe bet if you are hungry and happen to stumble upon one. I believe the meat is clearly stated to be made medium unless specifically asked otherwise. Medium is a good compromise, rare requires high quality meat, well-done kills all the beefy flavours. IMO.
I'M HUNGRY! Oh man did all that look sooo good!
Helloo:) I’m hungarian,and it’s great that you tried out the tradicional foods,but unfortunately you guys found th most expensive places!! Kürtöskalács and Lángos are much cheaper! It was great to see your video! Oh and Zing is not the best burger place in Hungary. I would recommend BAMBA MARHA for the best burger in Budapest! The meat is only pink in Zing:)
Lilla u r so cute
Wd u like to be my valantine
Hi! Im from hunary. Im very excited when i see this vidio because you eat the special foods but for me and the hungarian people’s its usual. You are the best youtober!!!
Hello! Thank you so much!! Greetings to you in Hungary :)
Great video thanks I'm going to Budapest next month and can't wait to try some of those foods 😎😎😎.
Awesome! Hope you have a great time! We made a bunch of other videos about Budapest if you want to check them out before you go. Highly recommend visiting a ruin bar and the baths too: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist :)
OH maaaan!!! It feels unreal! For 2 years and a half, I've been dreaming about my Central Europe trip, and only got to do it last month. And now, I'm still watching vlogs and reading blogs about Budapest-Vienna-Prague, and I finally get to relate to so many things and say "Omg!! I was there" , I did try the vegetarian goulash at the exact food truck you have on the footage, and it was not as good as I expected it to be. But everything else in Budapest in breath-taking, sooo yummy and so worthvisiting! I can't wait to go back there for a longer period of time :D
Hi! That's so awesome!! Sounds like you had an incredible trip! What were your highlights? What a coincidence that you ate at that food truck. Sorry to hear that one wasn't great but sounds like you had other delicious Hungarian food while in Budapest :) We have a whole playlist of videos from Hungary if you want to bring back more good memories! It's here: th-cam.com/video/MX2F13JJt9o/w-d-xo.html and also playlists from Vienna (th-cam.com/video/yMOikfuufxs/w-d-xo.html) and Prague (th-cam.com/video/eBKt7bzxe8c/w-d-xo.html).
this looks so fun! Hungary's now definitly on my travel destination list
That makes me so happy to hear! 😀We made a bunch of videos in Budapest if you're interested to see more: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist 🇭🇺
That is funny because now I am living here and most of the places you guys went I already have been. Loved it! :)
Awesome! Bon appetit :)
i love this video so much! i’ve been dying to go to Budapest with my boyfriend so i’m definitely on it now. looking forward to seeing all your travels 😊
Hi Andrea! Thanks so much! I hope you guys love it if you decide to go :)
I"m hoping to get over to Budapest at some point this year, to do some sightseeing & trying the food over there. I'll be sure to try out the foods you listed, the goulash & lángos and chimney cake and more. I"m so excited for when I can do so.
Oh wow, that'd be amazing! I hope you're able to visit and enjoy all the things we did and more! We were there in December and it was wonderful to experience the Christmas markets but I'd also love to see the city come alive during the summertime too. Don't forget to try the baths! :)
You're amazing! Thank you for inspiring me for my trip! x
Thanks for your lovely comment! Hope you have an amazing time in Budapest ❤️
I found those red enamel pots at the Market in the lower basement level. Love them as they bring back memories of my Hungarian grandparents 🇹🇯
The interesting thing is that the Hungarians do Italian food really well. The best Italian restaurant I have been to outside of Italy was in Kesckemet - near the train station. I hope it's still there when I go back next year.
Do you remember the name of Italian restaurant in Kesckemet? I’m going to be there soon
Interesting! How was your trip back?
I looked up a Hungarian Goulash recipe and then I got recommended this. Can't complain at all great video
A Hungarian friend of mine took me to Budapest in 2017. What a great experience, especially considering I’m from a small town in Florida. What an astonishingly beautiful city!!! Spoiler alert: I must say up front that if you have a wheat allergy, it’s very hard to find sans gluten in Hungary, or most cities in the Eastern countries. That said, considering my friend spoke Hungarian, I found lots of delicious things to eat., although I drooled at his pastries, dishes with pasta, and so many street foods. My favorite place was the outdoor farmers market where we bought fresh bags full of paparikas (hot and sweet). Get both! You can’t buy it in USA that fresh!! My friend took time to teach me the transit system so, one day, he had family business to do, I had a blast exploring Pest on my own going to places he wasn’t interested in; hint, hint, really great shopping!!!! Didn’t buy much but had a great time looking and taking lots of pictures. We planned yo go back March 2020 but everything went crazy a week before departure. We almost went anyway believing the pandemic wouldn’t effect us. Glad we didn’t!! Looking forward to visiting again in the safe future. An add on: Austria, Czech (Praque!!!) and Croatia are also beautiful countries to visit.
Wow, sounds like a fantastic trip! Thanks so much for sharing this! Whereabouts in Florida are you from?
Lake Wales
@@ahsosusu Ah ok, I don't know it. I grew up visiting Florida with my family (I'm Canadian). We love it :)
your videos are incredibly informative I'm so glad I came across your channel!!
Hey Jess! Thanks so much! Welcome to our channel ❤️
Ha ettél mar gulyast, akkor nem éltél hiaba...
😂😂😂 Unokaöcsém is ezt szokta mondani
Great video, Eileen! We loveeeee Budapest! We loved the food there! It is so underrated!
2:09 Could it be sztrapacska? it's actally a slovak dish but very popular here in Hun, too.
It is.
At 2:04. It is called Galushka. or Nokedli. Depends which part of the country you are in. Though both understood everywhere.
Yay my country ❤️❤️😍🥰🇭🇺
My mother is Hungarian and my grandfather was from the Hungarian countryside. Except for the goulash, I can't recall eating the food that you ate in those restaurants in Budapest. The goulash my mother made was heartier being filled with more beef and vegetables than what you had. You made not mention of paprika. Paprika is synonymous with Hungarians cuisine.
I've never been to Hungary. It is good to see what the people ate in Budapest. Thanks.
Gerbeaud is the most expensive sweetshop in budapest / hungary ... :)
I believe it! :)
@@EileenAldis Also gerbeaud is just a fancier way to say "zserbó" so the tourists can pronounce it.
Just don't go to any place that you can pronounce.
Basically.
Hi I just stubbled on your channel and I really enjoy your videos!!! My husband and I are going to Central Europe this coming May and we can't wait... Prague, Vienna and Budapest and also Salzburg . We are also from Canada! Thank you for your great videos, I'm taking notes :)
Hey Rachel! That's fantastic to hear and sounds like an incredible trip you have coming up! I haven't been to Salzburg (yet!) but it's #1 on my wish list for another trip to Austria. My sister has been and absolutely loved it. So much great music history there too. Hope you have a wonderful time!
Im living in the suburbs of Budapest, i tried it about a few months ago and I can tell u it was amazing!! The only problem is the enormously expensive price of it which is a shame
Hope you enjoy living in Budapest! :)
Eileen Aldis Its magnificent especially the people who r around me can really make my day which is brilliant!!
Hi, as a non-native Hungarian who lives in Budapest, I really enjoyed your video. I had not heard of the Karavan - street food truck place, so I am definitely taking my kids there next time we eat out. Thanks for the tip!
Your pronunciation of hungarian words is so cute :-) I am glad that I've found your channel xx
Thank you - I tried my best! 😁Are you from Budapest? x
Fuckanal restaurant hahahhahaha sorry.. Fa=wood kanál =spoon
Me too!!
It was not recognizable...
@@tszailer it's Budapest in English, not Budapesht. That's just how they say it. the s=sh is something weird for English speakers for sure :)
What a yummy place to go! Everything looked so good!!!
Lots of great food in Budapest! We made other videos about Hungarian foods if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist
3:38 Wow Budapest Hotel. Have you met Mr. Gustave and his lobby boy Zero ?
I love that movie.
Strapačky is a Slovak dish, similar to bryndzové halušky where the base compound of the dish is halušky; however, instead of bryndza, stewed sauerkraut is used. Residents of Veňarec, located in Hungary approximately 80 kilometers from Budapest, have held a Festival of Strapačky every Septemb
The city's name is Vanyarc ( pron. Vanyarts) in Hungarian.
My birth father is directly from Hungary 🇭🇺, and since you mentioned a lot of burger places along your way, this explains my brother and I's obssession with burgers.
I am also highly awed at the structures and buildings of this place.
My Brother and I's birth father lives in a small town called Pomaz which is a hour away from Budapest he tells me, but the rest of my birth father's family lives in Budapest.
My foster mom told me that my birth father would always bring me Hungarian Pancackes with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar and I could never get enough as a toddler. So I plan to make them soon to see if I still like them. I do believe they said I didn't like Apricot jelly so they changed it for a different flavor.
Anyway, cant wait to see what else this country holds.
I always love learning about Hungary.
The burgers we get used to are called fasirt..a little different than a traditional 'fast-food burger'. It's a common food that is eaten with many vegetable dishes, can be eaten hot or cold. Your pancakes are palacsinta...my favorite was chocolate too, and i did love the apricot jam one too..i wasn't crazy about the cottage cheese one..now i love it! :)
@@Joe-ly3si That sounds awesome. I would love someday to try a Hungarian Burger. I'm sure I would like it. It might be slightly different than in Hungary, but the general concept of Hungarians love burgers sounds good to me, lol
Today marks our two week count down to Budapest. Thank for the tips.
You and Mark absolutely make my day. Every video brings me a huge smile! The humor and quirks between you both are so addictive! Your descriptions are divine and I love your use of quirks and metaphors to tell the story of your adventures.
Lángos with paprika?! MMMMMM yum. Oh and cherry colas are amazing! My favorite: Adding cherry flavoring to root beer. The. Best. Ever.
1:50 you can buy these in Poland it's called "garnek emaliowany" you just need to find the right size for you
You can get the kürtöskalács for less than a dollar at some places!
No way these are any good for such low amount. A proper one will cost 500++ huf.
Umm yes they are very f*cking good. For exaple there is small “wooden house” next to Nyugati Pályaudvar where a small kürtőskalács costs 320 Ft and it’s sooo delicious (not even just for the price). I always have to buy one when I’m in neighbourhood, nooene can resist the smell.
Enjoyed your view on Hungarian food....You had gulash soup, not gulash - which is completely different meal, based on similar ingredients. Dumplings with cheese are turos nokedli, but I can't be sure what the third one is. Is it stewed cabbage? Can you please describe it?
Thanks, Larisa :) We made a bunch of videos in Budapest, including lots more about food, if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. I especially loved eating at the beautiful Christmas markets 🎄
This is the supposed way to eat burgers everywhere.We treat a burger like we treat a nice steak: nothing put inside the meat, only some pepper and salt on the outside, and medium rare. You can always ask for a medium, or well done if you prefer tho.
Colour is not always a reliable indicator; burgers that remain pink but have been cooked to an equivalent time and temperature combination in should be safe.
Many people have died in the U.S.A. from E-Coli bacteria outbreaks from fast food restaurants. The first outbreak happened 3 blocks from my home in Seattle in 1988 and a neighbor toddler died from eating Jack-In-The-Box rare cooked burger.
Thank's for interesting information) I go to Budapest in February so that is important for me.
Hi Eileen, I think you ate "Sztrapacska" and "Nokedli" with the Gulash @ Fakanal. :)
your video made my day!... it was really nice! i enjoyied every second of your video!.. if the coronavirus ends in august.. we will visit budapest and we will tast every meal frome there!!!! thank you !!!!!
I LOVE Budapest! One of my favorite European cities!
Hi! What's your favourite thing about Budapest?
That was a great video Miss Tour Guide! You and Marc looking so cute besides! Funny zooming in on the guys arm of couple. Like a TV show 😄.
You and I would have been sitting in that ornate building for hours checking out all the details and discussing. Truly incredible!
I second you on the sour cream. I would like that bread. Not sure what I'd want to try (food) however, but do know Something that "they" are on the map for. When in Rome, Roam!
I'd probably buy a coffee drink, just so it wasn't sweet. I love espresso with lemon twist otherwise.
You could find those little soup pots on line. They are cute! 😍 Thanks for another great tour!
Loved your dialogue. Made me dream of my beloved Hungary.
Thank you! Are you Hungarian?
@@EileenAldis Yeah He is Hungarian
Thanks for the great food vid! We are headed there next month!
So glad you enjoyed it, Paul! That's exciting you're headed to Budapest soon. We made a series there with lots more information I hope you'll find helpful: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. Have a wonderful time!
@@EileenAldis Many thanks for the link! Watched your Christmas Food vid. Loved it! Can you recommend any other channels or vids on Budapest?
Im polish i see hungarian i give thumb up
2:00 that two dish was "Kapros-juhtúrós galuska " or "Kapros-juhtúrós nokeldi " same food different name. The other is "krumplistészta" if you tasted potato in it if you tasted cabbage then it was "káposztástészta" . we had it a lot in school :D
a little lesson:
How to say Budapest
NOT boo-da-pest
CORRECT: boo-da-pesHt
😀😉
I wish you’d give more information of the ingredients in the first soup🍲 you ate.
Type original Goulash recipe to Google.
However beef, potato, vegetables, paprika, etc.✌️
I love how only us Magyars comment on and watch these videos.😂
László Babits nem igaz. Jamaikai vagyok de ott tanultam több mint harminc ével ezelött
@@rosaliedeane7635 Tényleg jó a magyarod ahhoz képest.
Eh nem teljesen igaz, de valahogy én is mindig megtalálom az ilyen videókat :D
I'm American
László Babits I’m Polish!
I am so impressed I decided to subscribe your channel. I used to be a frequent visitor in Budapest years ago but l haven’t been there for quite a while it means couple of years. What a pity l haven’t found vlogs of yours earlier😆
Thank you! Yes, we loved visiting Budapest and making our series there. I wonder if you'd find it changed on a future visit. I'd love to visit in summertime next :)
6:53 kűrtöskalács!yummy❤
I love them 😍
Nice video! Thanks for sharing.
a closer pronunciation for langos might be lan gohsh
The two foodnames that your asking:
One was probably "Tojásos nokedli" (handmade noodles with egg, used to serve with chees on it)
and by the video or "Káposztás cvekedli" (that is pasta with cabbage grilled to fine...mostly sweet, with sugar, salt and pepper...the cvekedli name comes from german, or slovak)
or "Krumplis tészta" (Pasta with potatoes...boiled potatoes are plumbed and fryed s.times with onion, salt, pepper and mixed with boiled pasta)
:D
6:45 in Poland called „kołacz”;))) very popular;) tkanki you for video, we will gry everything. But one thing... don’t wear a hat on restaurant ;)
Btw she butchered the pronounciation.
Also is it just „kołacz”?
Here kalács is basically sweet bread. Weird
