INTRODUCTION
Everyone loves cakes and sweet things, and the Hungarians are no exception to this, in fact I would say that the nation as a whole has a sweeter tooth than most. The streets of Hungary’s towns and cities are lined with cafés and cake shops. Even the smallest of towns will boast at least one cake shop. The capital, Budapest, like Vienna, is renowned for its coffeehouses, where the literary elite used to congregate in the past, regaling each other with their works, or simply taking advantage of the warmth and coffee to read and write, and now locals and tourists alike will sit down for a coffee and a slice of cake from the vast array behind the glass counters. Coffeehouse favourites such as strudel, Dobos cake, chestnut purée, and Eszterházy cake are lined up behind the glass to tempt the hungry, or once you glimpse them, the even not so hungry, to partake in their sweet delights, along with more innovative modern creations in some cases.
However, it is not only in coffeehouses and cafés that Hungarians enjoy cakes and other sweet delicacies. Most families have at least one accomplished baker, and all parties and other festivities will involve a variety of baked goods, both sweet and savoury, for the delectation of the family and other visitors. Indeed, Hungarians enjoy sweet things so much that the focal part of a meal, the main course so to say, may well be something sweet. Especially when visiting relatives of friends in the countryside, I discovered it was often the case that the meal consisted of some soup followed by something sweet. Milk loaf, pasta with poppy seeds or walnuts and plenty of sugar, pancakes in all shapes and forms, doughnuts or maybe apricot or curd cheese dumplings. Then, when you sat down to chat with a coffee, you would be plied further with biscuits, scones and cake, too. One thing is certain; you’ll never leave Hungary having lost weight!
