Free Hungarian stew in Rome

On Sunday (6th of January 2018), a group of Hungarian cooks have made some dishes to people in Rome, as a charity gift. All the dishes were for free, and mainly it was traditional Hungarian food, such as beef stew with egg barley, vitamin salad and some pickles.

The religious occasion was Twelfth-night, when the so called ’Taste hunter organisation’ (Ízvadászok Egyesület) prepared lunch for those needy for food at the shelters of Saint Giles Chatolic Community, reports szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu. After main dishes, the cooks from Kapuvár handed szaloncukor (Hungarian fondant, covered by chocolate), and some Túró rudi (Hungarian curd snack, covered by chocolate coating), which made people standing in zigzagging rows.

This was the fifth consecutive year that the Hungarian cooks have made holiday food for the poor, in Rome’s central district – Trastevere. The ’Taste hunter organisation’ from Kapuvár is helping the work of Saint Giles Chatolic Community work since 2015. It has become a tradition that the community cooks for those in need in Budapest each year’s 25th of December, and on Twelfth-night they cook for those in need in Rome. This year 350 Roman people tasted the Hungarian warm, tasty food.
