In meinem Urlaub hat mir Vegetarierin Kristina erzählt, dass sie in Westungarn aus Versehen Speck serviert bekommen hat. Ihr Geheimrezept dagegen? Ein guter Schluck Palinka, der ungarische Schnaps. 🥃

Hungary, 1930. The sign above the pub reads "Wine, Beer, Pálinka" (fruit brandy). Pálinka is now a "protected designation origin" in the EU which means the term “pálinka” can only be used by Hungary for an alcoholic drink distilled from any fruit grown on Hungarian soil.
There is also a sign on the front for Unicum, a distinctive herbal liquor, made by Zwack, that is still popular in Hungary today.

I received a postcard from the #postcardswap! It had a lovely story about the sender being invited to a Hungarian household at Easter and having an afternoon involving large quantities of pork products and lots of traditional Hungarian fruit brandy known as pálinka. So Hungarian! It was such a lovely memory and I really appreciated reading it. And a terrific postcard as well. If I had seen this in a shop, I would have bought it for my postcard swap!
