But this one wasn’t bad. So, we were out the other night wandering in Palermo trying to pick […]

I know of one wine shop that stocks a couple of bottles of it here, and the price is roughly double what I would pay for the same bottle in New York. Imported wines are difficult to find and expensive here.

In terms of knowledge, well, it’s available out there in the world. These days when it comes to research, most of it is a few keystrokes away. Much as coming across someone’s blog that covers something unexpected – the internet has made our world a very small place. In terms of the flavors and recipes, for the most part for this dinner, originated with Hungarian friends and their families from my hometown in Michigan.

By the way, I took a look at your site – your food photography is quite beautiful. I haven’t a clue what most of the text says, as my Hungarian is non-existent, but the food looks delicious, and I’m reading through your English posts.

How amazing it is to find such a great post about a Hungarian dinner written by an American in Buenos Aires! I’m Hungarian (living in Brussels at the moment) and like to visit your site sometimes. You seem to actually have a lot of knowledge about Hungary (Miskolc, trappista cheese, etc), how does it come? All the dishes look very nice, I hope you liked the taste too. I write my foodblog in Hungarian but have a few posts in English, also about goulash and a mushroom soup (chiliesvanilia.blogspot.com). Btw, for this dessert, our Tokaji dessert wine would be the perfect choice:) Cheers, Zsofi

Works really well with fruit based desserts though!
