I am from the Netherlands and my girlfriend is from Hungary...the first time I had palinka from my dad in law I was sick like the hell next day...when we are in hajos, we go there on Friday morning to the pub..07:00 and eat kolbasz and drink palinka and beer...and you can also say: isten isten...if I am right it mains god is with you!!!
András is right. 50+% or nothing. I'd say 52-53% is the thing. Artificial stuff like commercial vodka is 40%. Pálinka is distilled three times, so it comes out the tube 70+%. Even women love true pálinka if it is good. They love good quince and raspberry and so do I. Also, the glasses are not for pálinka. You are drinking wine from a box.
@@Mandatemondays oh, believe me it´s the same in Hungary despite whatever you might hear..specially on the countryside. I grew up in a tiny village in Hungary, I have the experience :D
In hungary, even younger, the elderly just say: come try it, just lick it a bit, and the kids we are, we frown, later we learn to like them, and drink til blackout as a teenager, as an adult usually you already know your limits
I feel u Zsolt. Hearing “egészségedre” wrong so many times, and even after 174 cuts its still wrong. When i drink with “non-Hungarians” they always want to say it correctly and the more they drink the less they make sense.:)) I would want to see the guys drunk on palinka:) its a different kind of drunkenness. Cheers
Mandate Mondays it was a joke. I know it was only a taste but most of us taste it at a minimal amount of 4cl. that's where the joke came from =D we call 40% vol drinks fever because they are weak compared to what most of us drink in shots. I can assure you that I did not intend any offenses and that it does kill any fever inside you =D
The fever joke came from some heritage: the pálnika makers call the alcohol vol.% as "degrees", same as the temperature. And a lot of home made pálinka has much more "power"... If you have a "weak" pálinka (less than 50"degrees"?) 30-40"degrees", they say: "You don't have pálinka, you just have a fever (38-40degrees) not pálinka!" And yes, a shot of a great, fruity pálinka kill all of illnes from you!
Ill add a bit more explanation for shits and giggles egészség=health(literally translated it means "wholeness" egészséged=your health egészségedre=for/to your health egészségedekre=for/to your(plural) health If you're among friends you can also just say "egs" which is a short, slang form of it.
Ritcherscream724, grammar is similar to other languages, yes, but what I meant was that very few words are the same or similar in other languages. Like how some German words are like English, Portuguese like Spanish, Chinese like Japanese, so on so on.
I dont know I have only drunk 69% what is a so magical number that I didnot want to drink 1% more ;D. I dont think that the pálinka itself shreds fences but that who drink that and suddenly feels that the gravity's source changes place from second to second and fall onto a wooden fence than shakes that trying to feel safe.... It happens in hungary very often. Come once and experience.... Maybe you dont need to come..I gave a perfect explanation.
Mandate Mondays, well she makes enough for her and her friends. She grows all the crops needed to produce palinka herself, and she doesn't have the sheer land mass, or time (she's a school teacher), or energy to mass merchandise it.
@@Mandatemondays Former, yeah. B4 the merger. Was in the Wichita office before they closed it down. I was googling how to create palinka and found this vid. Haha.
Palinka it's basically plum brandy it's in pretty much every eastern European country they have a version of it but it's super strong like moonshine and it's usually plum or pear Maraska Slivovitz Old Plum Brandy in Croatia
@@Mandatemondays OMG! I didn't think I'd get a response, after all, the video was not exactly made yesterday, LOL. I'm first generation American, speak fluently...in both, LOL. Hope you had a great 4th. I shared some homemade palinka with friends! P.S. I feel like a bit of an a**, as I only now am looking through the Tons of comments...yes you could have easily said, "Well thanks Capt obvious?" Thanks for your tact & the response 👍☺️
@@bwellness3in1 Haha, well I hope you had a happy 4th as well! I like to reply to as many comments as I can. We wouldn't have a channel if it wasn't for folks like you! Awesome to hear you can speak fluently in both English and Hungarian! Half my family is German and I wish I picked up the language when I was growing up. Thank you again for the support!
Actually moonshine is made by distilling, and its not made in toilets. Its just whiskey, same as you get at the bar just not aged in a barrel. Same as white rum or white tequila
Mandate Mondays i wont admit to anything over the internet, its still illegal to make hard alcohol at home here in the usa in any amount, at a federal level. You can brew pretty much all the beer and wine you can drink though.
Egészségedre means "to your health" as in "we drink to your health, long life, etc" so literally the same as the russian Na zdarovye, and used in a similar manner as the latin Vivat. As opposed to Cheers, that doesn't actually mean anything according to my current knowledge.

Haha, great story. Did you get sick from the Palinka at the bar too or just the homegrown stuff from the father in law?
Mandate Mondays from my father in law, because I drunk too much! Now I know what kind of rocket fuel it is
Isten isten just means god god
40% :D You have a fever not palinka :D
I hope not! Thanks for watching.
András Molnár Under 50% is just warm
Woman's palinka!!!

60 is the best
lesz bojlerbemutató is?
Maybe?
We, in Romania, drink pálinka when am i 14-15 years old.... Is very good...
Haha, thats really young. Is it still as strong?

But hey at least we’re trying!!
:) fair enough
Egészségedre means "To your health" or "For your health".
It's not a word I will never forget! It took me forever to be able to say it correctly.
what's that? =D
2cl?! ="D
and 40%?
it's less than fever =D
I'm not sure what you mean but I can tell you this can help kill any fever you have.
Mandate Mondays it was a joke. I know it was only a taste but most of us taste it at a minimal amount of 4cl. that's where the joke came from =D

István Huffnáger No wonder so many great comedians come from Hungary... not.
Dutzu Miho every country has their own humor. I might not like the 100 percent of the English German and Czech humor but I don't say that they're bad

well if you want to understand what "egészségedre" stands for, it is translated like "for your health" but in this case it is "cheers"
CHEERS!
egészségedree = for your health! cheers
It's something I can now finally say without hesitation. Thank you for the translation!
Ill add a bit more explanation for shits and giggles
egészség=health(literally translated it means "wholeness"
egészséged=your health
egészségedre=for/to your health
egészségedekre=for/to your(plural) health

Ritcherscream724 hungarian is a very complicated language, and is like no other language.
That's not true at all.

Just a little info: We in hungary call the real cruel 70% pálinka: the "fenceshredder"
Really? That's good to know. What does fenceshredder mean? Or does it actually mean shredding fences?

Haha, that sounds awesome, and yes I've felt that way before! Completely understand. Still sounds like something awesome to experience in Hungary!
Ezt még soha nem hallotam XD. Szerintem minden részén az országnak másképp hívják
My innocent aunt makes this at home. She is a goody-two-shoes, yet she drinks *hard* liquor. It's funny.
Haha, that's awesome. She should start exporting to make a bit of extra income!
Mandate Mondays, well she makes enough for her and her friends. She grows all the crops needed to produce palinka herself, and she doesn't have the sheer land mass, or time (she's a school teacher), or energy to mass merchandise it.
If you hungarian you born with the ability to smell the fruits its made of XD (im hungarian btw)
haha, sounds like a super power!
@@Mandatemondays it is but it's supposed to be a secret
so good my cousins send me a bottle for Christmas
Yeah, this was my first Palinka and it was pretty awesome!
Dude! Freedom, did you used to work for LMI??
Perhaps! Are you a colleague?

"Egészségedre" - means: "on your health".
And now I can finally say it like it's part of my vocabulary!
I have been hearing about plum whiskey for twenty years. Can someone please send me some?
Thats a tough one. You really need to see what your state allows for mail delivery on alcohol. Do you have any liquor outlets around?
Palinka it's basically plum brandy
Real Hungarian Pálinka starts at 80% alcohol
Well then I have a mission to get hunting for the real stuff!
Actually moonshine is made by distilling, and its not made in toilets. Its just whiskey, same as you get at the bar just not aged in a barrel. Same as white rum or white tequila
I've been dying to try some legit homemade moonshine. Have you made it yourself before? Also, thank you for watching!!
Mandate Mondays i wont admit to anything over the internet, its still illegal to make hard alcohol at home here in the usa in any amount, at a federal level. You can brew pretty much all the beer and wine you can drink though.
Haha, sorry I didn't even think of that. Looks like we'll be sticking with home beer brewing!
Omg🧢💯💯👍
I think I can still taste it!

pizza is italian not american -.-
Bueno!
the first pizza is made in grecce not like today pizzas!
Nem tűnt fel hogy magyar? XD
Yeah, sure, Italians were the first people to put stuff on bread.
40%??? i had higher fever than that.
Haha, how do you measure a fever in percentages?
a palinka 52 fokos minimum . a bolti 40 fokos csak szar utanzat.
What? HAHAQ
Mi otthon 42-46 fokosig csináljuk, és desztillált vízzel hígítjuk. Amúgy 52 fokos lenne kb
Amerika = Freedome? :'D Good joke.
Haha, but his name is actually Freedom!
Great vid! You guys need to try my grandma's homemade Romanian plum palinca. Makes the Hungarian stuff taste like plum juice...
Dutzu Miho Hungarian palinca is the best
Haha your kidding right 😂😂everyone knows Hungary is the best
TheGhost nah just stu
Haha that sounds awesome.
😂👍 Romania Palinca Țuica
@Rook the also make it in romania and in some parts of austria
Maybe?
Egészségedre >>> EGÉSZ = WHOLE , EGÉSZ+SÉG = HEALTH , EGÉSZ+SÉG+ED = YOUR HEALTH, EGÉSZ+SÉG+ED+RE = FOR YOUR HEALTH
or
ISTEN- ISTEN ! = GOD GOD !
Good Gravy!
