As I mentioned in an earlier post, the grocery store can be a somewhat perplexing experience because there are very few English cognates in Hungarian. Therefore, if you are caught in the deli without a dictionary, you’re likely to ask yourself, is this chicken, turkey, pork, or some special Hungarian thing I don’t know about but probably tastes like the other three? So in the spirit of culinary adventures and mystery meats, I’ve taken a few shots of food and drink for today’s slideshow. This is pretty much what I have been eating the last two weeks. I didn’t take pictures of any American foods that I’ve prepared because most of you can see a quesadilla anywhere (though the picture would have been priceless that captured the look on my face when I spotted the tortillas in the grocery store’s specialty aisle and proceeded to act like lunatic junkie stumbling upon the free smack samples).
