Hungary does not live up to its name in the least. It’s impossible to be hungry in Hungary. The first night of our stay we were given soup. We ate the soup thinking that was our dinner. After finishing the soup we were offered chicken and rice. We took chicken, but as soon as we were finished we were offered another piece. After three pieces of chicken, a huge serving of rice and a piece of bread we were ready to call it a night. But, our host mom came out with a HUGE cake that she baked in our honor. Our stomachs were bursting at the seams, but we couldn’t refuse. And of course it was delicious. :) The next night we were given more food than last night and Tirumasu. After each meal there were still platefuls of food on the table because our host family was only our host mom, Dalma, and us. They have leftovers that will probably last them weeks. We were also given a second breakfast to eat everyday. Two sandwiches, several pieces of fruit, and candy bars to eat before lunch. :)
The hospitality and welcome we felt in Hungary is unmatched to anything I have experienced before. The people here are always asking, “Would you like something to drink?” and offering us food. Hopefully, we will be able to come back and visit someday. :)
