Street of Hungarian Flavours
Organised for the ninth time between the 18th and 20th of August this is one of the greatest events in the Hungarian gastronomy life. It takes place in front of the Castle Bazaar and awaits the visitors all day. There is no entry fee, but unless you get satisfied solely by the view, you must pay for the food. There are going to be dishes from the different regions of the country, and it is the perfect opportunity to try the goulash, stuffed cabbage, traditional pastries, the chimney cake, or special beers and wines. Plus the Czech, Polish and Slovak cuisine will also be represented.
They will introduce the cake and the bread of the year here and it is also a great location to watch the fireworks for St. Stephen’s day.
The bread of Hungary
That is right, the cake is not enough, we also have the bread of the year. The ceremony when the bread made from the first grains is blessed is part of the 20th of August traditions.
What is more, like the cake, the bread is also carefully chosen by the Association of Hungarian Bakers, 24.hu explains.
The bread of the country this year is the Várhegyi Deres.
The bread, selected by expert judges, won the white bread category and was baked by the Kurdi Family Pék Kft. It is a wheaten bread with fresh leaven, its making involves a 12-hour-long ripening period, a pinch of corn and an original cut on the top. The winners of the other two bread categories will be announced on the 7th of August, and you might have guessed it, you can try all on the Street of Hungarian Flavours.
