Additional descriptions
Hungary: Social customs
Most Hungarians enjoy modern music and dance, although older people still preserve their traditions and culture, particularly in small villages. Handshaking is customary. Both Christian name and surnameRead more should be used. Normal courtesies should be observed. At a meal, toasts are usually made and should be returned. A useful word is egészségünkre (pronounced ay-gash-ay-gun-gre), meaning ‘your health’. A knowledge of German is very useful. Gifts are acceptable for hosts as a token of thanks, particularly when invited for a meal. Casual wear is acceptable in most places, with the exception of expensive restaurants and bars. Formal attire should be worn for important social functions, but it is not common practice to specify dress on invitations. Smoking is prohibited on public transport in towns and public buildings. Travellers may smoke on long-distance trains.
Hungary: Food and local specialties
A good range of restaurants is available, from inexpensive self-service establishments to fine dining eateries. Patisseries (cukrászda), serving cakes and pastries, and coffee shops (kavenas) are also popular. Gerbeaud’s is probably Budapest’s most famous coffee-house. Things to know: There are no licensing hours. Minors are allowed to go into bars but will not be served alcohol. The national specialties are: Halászlé (a spicy soup made with freshwater fish and paprika). Gulyás (Hungarian goulash is a hearty beef, capsicum and paprika soup, Western goulash is called pörkölt or tokány). Gundel palacsinta (pancake served with walnuts, raisins, lemon rind, chocolate sauce and rum). Paprikás csirke (paprika chicken). Kolbasz (sausage spiced with paprika). Tokaji (strong dessert wine). Bull’s Blood (strong red wine). Pálinka (brandy) comes in barrack (apricot), szliva (plum) or cseresznye (cherry) flavour. Beer. Unicum (herb liqueur). Read more popular.
