Gastromy : Pudding tasting

On the scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate the appearance of this pudding?

.

Mine, would be 1 as it simply doesn't appeal to me. I put off tasting the pudding as long as since I moved here. Last Monday, I did it! I finally gave it a chance..and all I can say is beauty is only skin deep!

The pudding, csíramálé or wheat germ pudding, is made from wheat germ, sweetened with honey. I was told that the 100 year-old pudding is a specialty of our town and the surrounding areas. As the name suggests, the pudding contains loads of health benefits ; however, it is still not widely known in other counties (states). Zsolt, have you tried / seen this?

Some like it hot

I saw this scene yesterday. Does the owner of this flat like paprika so much? or it is a way to gain additional income? Whatever it is, the sure thing is, these wonderfully garland paprika (paprikafüzér) will ended up as the "ultimate spice" for many kitchens in Szentes.

Here's a recipe that you might be interested in trying with some authentic Hungarian paprika.

Tips
Its important not to cook paprika over rapid fire or it will turn bitter and destroy the taste.

Local produce

*yummy! ..firm and chewy*

Yesterday, we get to sample the first harvest of baby potatoes. They're available for 2 weeks only per year; therefore, its a popular item at the Sunday market. Baby potatoes is nothing unusual, what's new to me is that some of them are about 1cm in dia. only, so, it's a chore to try to peel the skin as my family here like them peeled . Do you have similar small ones?

Demand, supply

Hate to think where these ducks are going..

Poultry processing became an important sector for the town's economy ever since the beginning of the 1900s. Such products are distributed all over Hungary as well as being exported to 35 countries.

Wish all of you Happy Sunday !
