Let's see how this goes.
we are so hungry all we know so far is that he said make sure you're hungry
make sure that you are starving before this because he's going to feed us quite a
lot today we are going on a walking food tour Budapest with a food journalist and
we're taking you with us. So yeah we've had a very light breakfast and now we're
starving we're pretty excited that this food journalist - he's got a really
good reputation pretty excited at my family back in Australia actually
organized it for me as a birthday present so thank you - thank you so much
I pretty cool we only have five people on the tour and we're two of them stop one we're
gonna taste some sausages and crackling and lots of really yummy little meats
local traditional meats
all right we just kicked off with these really delicious sausages but then
this is a crackling and it's not like the typical English crackling with a roast
that's very crispy - it's really soft I like this one better
don't tell mum
stop number two we're in a restaurant it's so traditional in here looking forward to it
So this is like egg noodles with stewed pork.
they are the yummiest noodles they almost have a little snap in it when you bite it - it's got this texture
thing going on. It's quite soft but you know that your biting into one of the noodles
going in for some pork
Wow there is a bit of paprika little bit of strength you can add more
that will be way too much! Our food tour guide just scoffed when he saw how much I put on.
Let's see what this goes like. I'm going to explode. He's like, don't do it man!
Wow really brings it to life
what is it called? Palinka - it's our national spirit with 40% alcohol. The most traditional flavor is the
plum and apricot. The plum if that's the most traditional. I'm gonna go all
over that. Two plums here please. This is a traditional spirit all right yeah that's
actually quite nice. Right this is vodka. No, it's water!
all right that shot just then really kind of woke us up
and we actually gonna head to one more bar and then continue the food tour
we're in one of the ruin bars and the embarrassing thing is we had a massive
night out the other night and it turned out that we were here
so yeah we on the food tour but this is a little stop in one of the ruin bars
Seeing it in the harsh light of day! Yeah we've done this it's one of the best ones
this is a sweet cottage cheese covered in chocolate
sweet cottage cheese and chocolate I've never heard of such a thing but what do
you think it's almost a bit orange flavoured. I might be completely wrong, a little
bit of citrus yeah I noticed it has a bit of citrus yeah definitely citrus hot tip from one of
the locals guys. They say to eat the chocolate first and then cottage cheese underneath
is much better. It's kind of like licking chocolate off of a biscuit and then
eating the biscuit afterwards. It takes a skilled set of teeth to do this
all right now go the cottage cheese. Better or worse?
No different it's still the same freaking bar anyway let's keep moving
We're heading to a butcher for some hot sausage you know us guys we love hot sausage
Our guide Mate was just telling us that during the war
all the Jewish people had to live in what's now known as the Jewish quarter
as you can see here there's a map that shows what that original area was. It's
quite fascinating now almost like zoned off if you like fascinating they still
call it the Jewish quarter and there's not actually that many Jews that still
live here. It's really funky area to walk through and that's mainly where our tour is
Mate is such a nice guy, he loves his food I think it's called big boy tours - we will
put a little link down below if you guys are interested in doing it too. We've definitely stopped in some
restaurants we would never have found on our own. They don't even look like a restaurant
and you go in and there's locals and stuff in there. It is the perfect little start for us
in Budapest
Alright guys we are sharing sausages here so
you've got to get your hands dirty. And a bit of a dunking of the mustard YUM
it's actually not that strong in flavor it's really subtle but yeah what meats
are in there? It's pork liver, pork fat and rice are you know perfect combination that's
melts in your mouth - oh it really does. Mustard. That is delicious.
really tasty I love that mustard. The mustard's perfect. Mini little food
challenge pickled chili. he warned us this is hot
the seeds the seeds it's always the seeds. That is
hot and delicious wash it down with some sausage
so we're in a local market it looks like we came at a good time when like none of the
locals are here so we're about to get a langos
I'm pumped because these are all the things I love it's a fried pastry traditional
Hungarian pastry that they make and they just freshly fry it and then they put
some garlic and butter or some sort of garlic juice on there and
then sour cream cheese like what is there not to like about this? Amazing!
It's really really hot. Apparently this gets a lot bigger this
is like a mini version for us but it looks well and truly big enough.
Bek - a little side note we're coming back here and
that's amazing the garlic sauce is quite prominent.
Alright, palacsinta is a pancake,
Hungarian pancake with apricot jam so I'm coming in for one
Reminds me of pancakes with lemon juice and sugar but it's obviously apricot, but it's that same
sort of acidity that you get. We've still got one more spot we're going for a strudel
next I can't wait
The word of strudel is "Retes" and "Bolt"is shop - "Retesbolt" = Strudel Shop.
the year from 1926 family-owned business that
and they make and sell on strudel, nothing else. Around 1000 pieces per day.
we're in the line which is always a good sign if here's the line up for something
strudel done Hungarian way and you know, what I'm more hands-on person so I'm
just gonna grab this
Oh
I got sour cherry and poppy seeds which she said was one of the more traditional
and but yeah there's a whole variety of flavors look at that in there that's
just amazing. The perfect finish to a big big day of eating we're going to sign off
