The fanciest pancakes of Hungary awaiting guests

One of the most popular and awaited gastronomy event arrives again on 23 September in Fővárosi Rendezvénypark in Budapest. Multiple thousands of guests are expected for the Pancake Festival this year. Besides the pancake baking and eating contests, several other programs await visitors, such as a market, agility contests and entertaining performances, according to Travelo.hu.

Pancake is a national favorite in Hungary, but there are several ways to prepare it. Pancake Festival offers opportunities to taste the most delicious ones and learn much about the different recipes. Catering experts from all around the country will come together to teach the secrets of the tastiest and most peculiar types of Hungarian pancakes.

Agility competitions will be organic parts of the event, but they are not only for children.

For example, there will be a race which involves running along an obstacle course with a pancake on a plate being balanced in the contender’s hand. The pancake eating contest also contains a twist, as the competitors have to eat the dessert without using their hands. And last but not least, there will be a balancing contest as well with a huge pancake as a balancing weight. In this event, the contender who can hold the plate in their hand for the longest time without dropping the pancake or lowering their arm wins.
