- Trying Hungarian Food in Budapest
Yesterday, when arriving in Budapest, we bought a 24 hour ticket valid for bus, tram and metro, 🚃🚎🚇so today we’ve been crossing Donau exploring both Buda and Pest.
😋 Travelling is trying traditional local food, and here in Budapest we had Pogácsa, Langos and Zöldséges Lecsó Puliszkával. The Hungarian herbal liqueur or bitters, Unicum, drunk as a digestif and apéritif, made us go “uuuuuhhhaaooo” 😝🥴😂
Also, today we had an encountering, on distance, with the F1 driver Zhou Guanyu🏎, the relics of the city founder St Stephen (who died 1083)🫲, and visited a great place called For Sale Pub / 232211753510047
Off course, and as being swedes coming from the land of FIKA, we figured it’s a must to embraced the cafe culture in Budapest! We had cake for lunch🍰😃.
Unfortunately, we are only staying for another night in this, a little worn down but still, so very beautiful city, being half way through our 15-day journey, we are leaving tomorrow for a new country #51. See you in Croatia 🇭🇷👋

Langos 🤤 you’re right-it’s an awesome comfort food! Palinka was the shot that almost killed me in Budapest 😅 cheers guys-great vlog!!
Thanks, we really appreciate it! Still get goose bumps just by thinking of Palinka 😅
Budapest pálinkas are nothing compared to Szatmár county peach pálinka. Fearsome to even mention the rasping strong Transylvanian ethnic Hungarian pálinka nicknamed bearkiller (medveölő). If you can survive all those, you're the real man 😄
"Langos is the best comfort food ever" :D:D::D nice
Hear hear! Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it :)
We are waiting you back!
The Unicum is silky... Palinka has the power :)
The pickled salad is called csalamade. It is similar to italian giardinera.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for identifying the salad!
this salad (csalamádé or savanyúság) is served besides main courses and sides, it is not good to eat alone, it has the function to balance greasy, hearty, savory and spicy heavy dishes.
Hi! Thanks for watching! Ah, it makes sense! We were having a hard time finding vegetarian options when we visited Budapest, but afterwards we have got plenty of suggestions, so we have to go back and do another diy food tour, and try the salad as a side dish :)
Love from Bangladesh
Hi! Glad you found your way here! Thanks for watching, we really apperciate it! Bangladesh is one of the countries that we are most keen to visit :)
💖💖💖💖
St. Stephen was not killed and he died in 1038
Hi there and thanks for watching! We have to brush up on our history knowledge! We promise to do our research better in the future :)
Thanks for the video. Very nice. My Mom is from Budapest have been there in 95. It was clean than and still is compared to other EU cities. Haven't been in Europe over 20 years now you guys made me feel to return.
Hi Gabe! Thanks for watching! You should go if you have the chance! We visited Budapest 7-8 years ago, and we liked it as much now as we did then. It’s one of those cities that we can’t get enough of. There is so much to see, eat and do that makes us want to re-visit the city again.
too bad video is so short... Budapest has great places and food... glad I can see it through videos :)
Hi! Thanks for watching :) We would love to come back someday and spend more time in Budapest! It was our second visit, and we have only scratched the surface.
@@exploringplanethome next time try magyar gulyas or halaszle :}
@@mattymurdo4134 thanks for the tip! All the more reason to revisit Budapest :)
@@mattymurdo4134 ...and Túró Rudi :)
👌👌
I loved reaction to pickled green tomato. :D :D :D
No sugar, no dill, just plain acid and salt there.
The Hungarian style.
😄Yes, it wasen't what we expected
🇭🇺🤘
Not crow but raven.
Hi there! Thanks for watching, and thanks for the correction!
For Sale Pub - great, I have been there many times....
Such a fun place! We would love to come back sometime. Do you live in Budapest?
@@exploringplanethome Yes, I do.
@@Raziel568 Lucky you! It must be so much fun living in Budapest :)
Nice video, the Market is very good and
"For Sale" pub was always my favourite place. "Langos" or " Kürtös Kalács" are only Street Food but tasty. Polenta is no frequent (we rarely eat this, at most as a side dish). Of course Budapest is beauty and special.
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching! We had a great time in Budapest, and we can´t wait to get back someday :)
Håkan is my future husband! 😍😍
Good choice! He’s the best husband ever ❤ //Sandra
That plush is from a horror game that is trending right now: poppy’s play time
Aha, so that’s why we didn’t know who the guy is (we don’t have any children). Seems scary for being a child’s toy 😅
@@exploringplanethome Police forces and schools are issuing warnings to parents due to a series of videos surrounding Poppy Playtime character Huggy Wuggy. The warnings are due to the character's initially child-friendly visuals, which very quickly turn nightmarish. The game industry handled the phenomenon irresponsibly and sold a basically horror character as an innocent children's toy.
I was wondering what typical Hungarian food you will able to find that suits vegetarians, because there isn't many. I could not have recalled one when the video started, but the lángos is indeed one of them, nice catch! Even most of the scones (pogácsa) you have tried are made with pork lard (the most popular one is the one with pork cracklings mixed in the dough). Most (traditional) restaurants are not even trying and the ones that trying have rather clumsy attempts by somehow altering the recipes or just leaving the meat out. That is, if they can even comprehend the concept, I have even seen chicken ceasar salad as a vegetarian option :)
I am not bashing Hungarian cuisine here, just pointing out if you are vegetarian, you cannot really take a proper sample of Hungarian food, unfortunately.
Thanks for watching! We're glad you found your way to our channel 😃 You are absolutely right, there aren't that much to choose from as vegetarians. Apart from what we tried in the video (we even included side-dishes 😄) we couldn't find much to eat that was traditional. We're sure that there are tons of dishes we aren't aware of, so if anyone knows any other vegetarian food - please share 😀
@@exploringplanethome Well, yes, we do not really use too much veggies in our dishes traditionally (there is this opinion amongst most Hungarians that vegetables are for feed the animals and fruits not end up as pálinka (local type of brandy) is a blasphemy :)
So it will be mostly sweet kind of stuff, cakes and such, altough we have sweet dishes that are perfectly normal to eat for lunch or dinner. Plum dumplings (szilvás gombóc) are one of those, I highly recommend that, really delicious. Fruit soup (gyümölcsleves) is also a thing, very popular, sweet, very delicious, it's pink and supposed to be consumed fridge cold, perfect for hot summer days. Cottage cheese dumplings (túrógombóc) are also sweet, provided you are okay with dairy products - I guess you are, since you had no issue with cheese. Egg soup (tojásleves) is also nice although it is a hate or love kind of food - I happen to love it, a bit reminds me of Asian soups. Egg noodles (tojásos nokedli) are nice too, just make sure they will not sparkle some crispy bacon pieces on the top, as it is the custom. Mushroom paprikash (gombapaprikás) is the perfect way to try the most Hungarian meal there is but without the meat (you need to be sure though they used cooking oil and not lard for frying the onion). And you definitely want to try the chimney cake (kürtőskalács) - to leave Hungary without eating one is simply a sin.
@@ThorTyrker Wow! So many thongs we have to try whe we visit Budapest the next time! 🤤The dumplings sounds amazing (we do eat cheese and one of us absolutely loves cottage cheese 😀) The Chimney Cake also sounds amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to share som many veggie options with us - we really appreciate it! 🙏
Many people are mistaken about the fact that in Hungary they only eat meat. In the middle of the last century, mainly due to poverty, there was a lot of meat-free food. Cottage cheese pasta (túrós tészta), potato pasta (krumplis tészta), poppy seed pasta (mákos tészta), semolina pasta (grízes tészta), jam pasta (lekváros tészta), paprika potatoes (paprikás krumpli), egg dumplings (tojásos galuska), fried vegetables, layered potato (rakott krumpli), stuffed egg (töltött tojás), a variety of noodles and dumplings, sweet and savory homemade cakes. I'm glad you were here! :)
@@ViktorP Hey! Thanks for watching! Were glad to hear that there are so many dishes left to try out. That means that we have to come back soon :)
Unicum is used to drink deep-frozen, or the glass should be frozen at least.
Hi, and thanks for watching! We appreciate it :) Aha, so kind of like Jägermeister then? It's quit similar taste.
@@exploringplanethome Almost. You felt that it is bitter, but I love its taste. If you like the coffee flavor I recommend Unicum Barista, a variant of Unicum.
@@farkasatesz That sounds so, so good! Unicum Barista is definitely added to our list of things we need to try when we are in Hungary next time! Thanks for the tip :)
Good country in work to hungry
Thanks for watching! We are glad you found your way here :)
I hope you had a good time here.With its 40% alcohol, Unicum is not considered a particularly strong drink in Hungary. Pálinka is usually 48-50% alcohol. Puliszka (polenta) is a traditional Transylvanian dish, which entered Hungarian menus from here. If you ever come to Hungary again, go to Lake Balaton. Balatonfüred, Siófok, Tihany, Keszthely are all beautiful places. A little language lesson so you don't get so lost. 😀 pogacsa is pronounced correctly = pogacha. The pronunciation of cs is the same as the last sound of touch. The other sound that usually causes problems is s. It is pronounced like the English sh. The English s is the same as the Hungarian sz. One more thing, if you've been here, try Túró Rudi.
We had the best time in Budapest, and its one of those places that we just know that we will return to! If it’s considered a 'weak’ drink, I think we will have to pre-book an ambulance if we ever try something stronger 😂
@@exploringplanethome 😁😁🤣
Pogasca is made with bacon grease or lard fyi
Oh no! Wish we knew that before we tried it 🙈
@@exploringplanethome Amit ti ettetek az nem normális pogácsa, csak ilyen ipari fajta. Az margarinnal készül.
@@FZRTom Thanks for watching, and thanks for the info! We definitely need to go back to Hungary and do another food-tour :)
sry but the f1 is not at bp and i dont think that st stephen is buried rhere 🤔 and the restaurant werent exactly where locals go these are all tourist spots 😂 try paprika or piroska etterem much better and the besz langos is at worosvary ut metro statiom 😄 but all great tourist places
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the tips! We will add them to our ever-growing list to see, do & eat in Budapest. Seem like we have to go back soon :)
Valóban nem ott temették el de ott őrzik a Szentjobbot? Vagy tévedek? :)

Interesting, if you are a vegetarian you can't eating almost nuthing in Hungary 🇭🇺🤣😅 and you guys just look an idiots to try to show the great Hungarian gastronomy ! Because you just showed Maybe hhmmm about ' 0.25% procent from 100% of Hungarian food variations!!! 👌 👏👏👏 so guys if you are a vegetarian just forget about Hungary!!! Best advice for you guys from me , I'm from Hungary! Go to India or somewhere where have great vegetarian culture !!!
Thanks for watching! We really appreciate it :) Agree! We've been to India several times, and as vegetarians, it's like heaven. It's not as easy in Eastern Europe :) But we love to travel in eastern Europe, so the lack of alternatives to eat is outweighed by the people, drinks & beautiful cities!
lol noone wearing ani masks in public transport!! one must be crazy not to put a simple mask on during a public transport ride!
Magyarországon élek ezért mondom neked hogy itt most semmi korlátozás nincsen és mindenki utálja a maszkot
@@samuelturzo4688 very intelligent response :D so if the government says, eating mercury infested fish is healthy, you will do that :)
@@marekmojzis3525 No one forbids you to wear it, they won't hurt you because of it. Some people still wear it. Everyone decides how much to risk.
It's over, man.
