Back from Budapest, Paris of the East, where schmaltz serves as butter, caviar and foie gras are casually spread on wonder bread, sandwiches are szendvics and plum jam dumplings (gombotz) are embedded in rich cream cakes.
Its a little bit rock, a little beet glam and a little bit rough around the edges. All in all, a success
