You folks are hillarious.😂..the way you pronounce Lángos! I'm a Hungarian-Canadian living in Holland!My dear hubby and family were blown away by my Hungarian country cooking.Thanks for the video!
As a Hungarian, I care about what foreigners think about our food, so I watch a lot of videos in this form, but you are in Top3.
My grandmother on my dad's side was from Budapest. She loved to bake! I know why I love pastry, so much and all those flavors! TY.....and Natalie, you always look so beautiful, Matt, too! ❤😊
Gratulálok! Örülök, hogy mindenből az erdeti alap ízeket próbáltátok, kiváncsi voltam a pálinka reakciójára, tökéletes volt, mert mindenki idétlenül mosolyogni szokott tőle, ti is ezt tettétek! Egyébként nagyon ügyesn megszerkesztett videót készítettek, kedvenceim lettetek.
Pálinka that is less than 50%alcohol is not serious stuff, it's made for tourists I guess! Unikum is basically Jagermeister for grownups. It tastes like medicine because it originally is. It is an herb liqueur. Most Hungarians keep some at home in case of upset stomach. It does really cure it. The way it became a popular drink is, it could be taken to places where alcohol was forbidden, because it's "medicine"
Matt, you ate the lángos perfectly (without a knife and fork)! Nat, you are adorable ;)
Meggyes mákos was a good pronunciation. So proud to see my home city on your channel! 😊
Can I just say, after watching a few travel influencers, you guys are in my top 5! You are actually funny, informative and your videography is fantastic! Thank you for your fun, intelligent content!
Matt & Nat, my favorite travel couple. Love you guys, hope all is well! The food on this trip all looks fantastic, I can’t pick a favorite! Blessings & be safe!
I’m Hungarian and langos was invented because back in the day, it used to be expensive to bake bread everyday. So with the stale bread they would just fry it. To revive it. ❤
Charming couple. ❤ Natalie is super cool gives u the skinning w out the fluff and the editing is amazing.
The one universal dish in every country, dessert! Great video guys, prayers for your father Natalie
Hahaha AMEN to that! 👏🏼🤣 awww thank you so much 😭🥹💗 Truly means more than you know! We appreciate you watching & being on this adventure with us!
I ate the chicken paprikash at that exact restaurant, and it was the best dish I had in Europe in 4 countries on my trip. Highly recommend!!!
Subtitle your vids, "Eating Across the World"...absolutely love viewing you enjoying the various desserts and foods and giving your reviews. Getting to eat/live vicariously is great. The scenery is nice, too. P.S. Really like your choice of music to accompany your travels, also.
and the expression on Nat 's face priceless 😊
🤣🤦🏼♀️ haha guilty! I make a lot of faces! Hahaha
Omg you guys are hilarious 😂😂😂 I died during the singing part at the end! It was the very first video I watched from you. You are so funny and positive. I wish you all the best. Enjoy your travels!
Wow! Those Chimney Cakes!! 🤤🤤🤤 Great Food Tour and beautiful shots around Budapest! Y’all are the BEST!!!
Hi Matt & Nat. ( I’m Hungarian ) & you guys doing great with the pronunciation . ( somloi galuska, meggyes retes) 👍
the expression on Matt 's face after drinking the herb beer he was thinking geez
🤣🤣
Matt.... happy wife happy life ice cream 🍨🍦 is a must
Loved your stroll through the eateries of BUDAPESH ! The Langos flatbread elephant ear looked delish. The Hungarian beer looked tempting too. Another fun video. 😂
OMG!!!!!!!!! 😋😋😋Those desserts look awesome... actually all of the food does!!! ❤🤍💚You two are so cute!!!
This vid just came on time!! Going to Budapest this weekend. Cheers mate
Nat your gorgeous! I love that as you travel the world you still have amazing classy style ❤
I love you guys and how you are showing the world to us the way you do. Blessings... good eats.. cheers and love.
Eat dessert first, best way to start! My family is Hungarian from my dad's side. My brother's wife made him chicken paprika for his birthday, a dish we enjoyed as a family meal occasionally. All your food looked delicious
Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park Kiddos! Looking great as always!🏞️🌄
Love you silliness, and thanks for sharing amazing things
Love your videos. So charming.
The food actually looks amazing. Great food tour video.
Thanks for another very fun, and very funny episode😂, loved it.
I never get tired of seeing all the different foods you both try lol The buildings look so pretty! In Canada we call the fried dough beaver tails they come with different sweet toppings you might of tried it in your Quebec video.
This adventure was amazing, my dear!! I loved. That "pizza" with a lot of cheese, so delicious, got into my checklist 😍😍🥰🥰
Budapest looks lovely! All the food looked tasty, especially the chimney cakes.
Amazing!! Love you two. Praying for your Dad Natalie...Oh my! the food looked amazing. Wanna go there now just to eat 🤣🤣 Thank you for what you do and for just being great people. Stay safe and keep having fun.🙏✈☕🥘🧀....What kind of cheese was on the fried dough w/ sour cream if you know ?
Awww thanks so much friend! 😭🥹 We appreciate you & your prayers more than you know!! 🥰💗 hahaha I was hungry the whole time editing this video! Haha 🤣 that’s a great question, I think it was a cheddar! Gosh that was so good! 🤤🤣 making me hungry just thinking about it. Thanks again Reuben! 💗💗
It is usually topped with trappist cheese. This cheese is almost unknown outside Hungary. It tastes most like gouda. It is a semi-hard cheese, matured, with fermentation holes. It is made from cow's milk, with lactic acid bacteria culture, rennet and the addition of calcium chloride, potassium or sodium nitrate. Fatty trappistas must have a dry matter content of at least 56 %. True French Trappist is raw milk, i.e. the milk is not pasteurised and is matured for two months. Normally, the cut surface of the cheese, which weighs about one and a half kilograms and is in the shape of a disc, has holes of 3-4 millimetres evenly distributed over the cut surface. It has a sour, slightly salty taste and smell.
@@knor1982 Thank you for that. Very much appreciated, have a great day sir.
Really nice video from a very nice couple. It is a "Unicum" for me to subscribe after my first video of a channel. You've made it. :D Enjoy Your Lifetime of Adventure.
You had so many yummy things in Budapest. The chimney cakes look like a fun option. chocolate covered cheese curds sounds gross but it looks good. leaves, medicine and essential oils yum haha xx
I'm from Nebraska and I miss it a lot and I get homesick
Actually your pronounciation is pretty good considering you only just arrived :) Let me share some additional info on the stuff you guys tried, maybe it will be helpful to some people: 1. Gerbeaud is an iconic place. Imagine it as the place where stereotypically the old, elite ladies went to hang out to enjoy some fine things in life - and I don't just mean cookies. There is a long time urban legend that in those times if you were a handsome young man, and bought a certain cake, only ate a certain part of it, and left the fork on the plate in a certain way (there are several versions of the story), then eventually one of the waiters reached you with an address, where you had to went to... well.... offer some company to one of those old, and rich ladies on a financial term, if you get my meaning. But nowadays it is "just" one of the classiest place for deserts with a tradition they are proud of. You can be sure it will be really good quality stuff, but it will cost you too (expect ~ 2-3 times the price what you'd pay in more average place) - still, if you can afford, I'd recommend to try and get that aristocratic feeling of the good quality desserts in a really classy place where the elite of Budapest enjoyed them in an environment fitting to their standards by that time. Dobos cake is for some reason often recommended - personally I never liked that hard caramel topping, and always went for Krémes as a child, but maybe it is rather a question of personal preference. Somlói Galuska however is something I can recommend to anyone, great choice in my oppinion! 2. That's a cool place too! Strudels ("Rétes" in hungarian) is quite traditional, and there are many options for the filling. It was a good idea to give a chance to poppy seed filling, not that common in other places where you can find strudels, but maybe I am wrong on that. But for sure: don't worry about poppy seed is used for making drugs. The reason for is that if you want to make drugs from it, you will need them in their earlier stage, when it is less ripe. What is used for cooking is harvested later, and dried - you can't get high on it, no matter how hard you try. And YES, vanilla ice cream is a perfect addition to it, my mom often serves the two things along as well. :) 3. Retró Lángos is a nice place for trying lángos - they have many varieties, and don't go easy on toppings either. Most people eat it without cutleries, by hand. Be prepared to have a messy face after, and oily hands what will need washing too, some wet napkins can come quite handy after that. Also, it is super filling, quite heavy food. Sharing one between the two of you was also a good idea if you plan to eat some more in the near future. 4. Never tried the place, but looks good. Kürtőskalács is best if you get it very fresh, while it is still hot or warm. It can get dried quickly though, which will degrade its quality (the soft inside will be less tasty), so try not to get those which where made several hours ago. 5. On pálinka: unfortunately hard to find really good ones. Most of the "bottled" versions (what you can usually buy in bars and shops) are not as tasty as the home made ones (which can be also terrible ones, depending on who makes it with what quality of ingredients), and the home made ones are usually even harder drinks (~50% of alcohol), so prepare they will hit hard. I can recommend "Árpád" brand though, I think they make a steadily good quality stuff. Goulash and Csirke Paprikás: both are great choices! You can't get any more traditional as those ones, and they are both tasty. Goulash ("Gulyás") is a must-have. Although you can find dishes with the same name in neighbouring countries, it is usually a stew there, but originally it is a soup! The name comes from the old word for "cow" ("gulya"), the cow shepherd was called "Gulyás", and the name implies it is the soup they made typically. On Unicum: well.... I have seen those faces after tasting it many times. :D Honestly, most of the people won't like it. I have met only a handful people from foreign countries who do. I'd still give it a try if you are a man who likes to experiment, and likes these weird, bitter tasting herby stuffs. But in my experience I have never met a girl before from a foreign country who liked it. If you are girl and you do for some reason, be prepared it will get you attention and respect from many man in Hungary. :D Great video, anyway! Cheers from a hungarian living in Budapest.
This video made me hungry and want to go to Hungary It looks like it is Natalie’s turn to wear her hair in a bun. Great information and fun !😊
Hahaha 🤣👏🏼 love that!! Right??? I was realizing I never do it when we’re filming! I’ll have to change it up more often! 🤣😜 Thanks for watching! 💗
There is a version of Unicum that has a plum base (Unicum Szilva), if you *really* want to try it I would go for that over the basic one if it's an option.
You guys should go to Romania as well. I would love to see that country. I’ve heard their cuisine is similar to Hungarian and Austrian one.
Serious people don’t put sweat toppings on lángos, icecream into kürtöskalács but do drink pálinka in room temp just like whiskey, because thats the temp when you can taste the most flavours. By the way well done: till the end of the video you learned how to correctly pronounce Budapest:)
The Hungarian food in this video made me want to find some. 😊
Go to Google for great recipes! Jó ètvagyot!
So fun!
Loved the video and love you guys❤❤🎉😊
Awww thanks so much for watching & for your comment! We love you! Love having you on this adventure with us! 💗💗

@@AdventuresofMattandNat oh ya! How can I forget, have a wonderful trip you too!!
OMG Poppyseed-cherry strudel, I could eat all day!!! (without ice cream) Poppyseed does not contain ant drug
Right?! So good! Haha… You are correct, poppyseed does not contain drugs, but eating a lot of them can result in false positive drug test for opiates.
Loved Budapest such a beautiful city, but yes did not like the herb liquor 😝
Pálinka is not below 50 degrees... at home it is 55-60 degrees. :)
Looks nice ... when u coming to UK ????
Thanks for watching!!! Hopefully later this year!!!! 🎉🎉
@AdventuresofMattandNat do u know where your visiting yet ... I'm in Bristol .. City of Bath is nice to visit .. Cardiff , Birmingham and (Cornwall & Devon Counties) gorgeous Beaches and seaside resorts and Cream Teas
What do you wrap around the strap of your Louis V? The thin strap digs into my shoulder. Help?
Love your videos. Love your channel. You two are just so sweet together many blessings and happy life
💙💙👌👌👍👍😍😍
🥰🥰
Unicum is more herbal than Jägermeister, more bitter and less sweet. There are Plum, or Coffee flavoured versions as well. The one with Plum is dope. Still Jägermeister is better.
Goulash...take care with palinca
I think Zsa Zsa Gabor is from there
Yeah I think you’re right!!!
Yes. She was from Hungary. Same as Tony Curtis.
Yes Zsazsa Gabor was Hungarian. Her real name was Zsuzsa Gabor , but, in the US , they couldn’t say Zsuzsa, & she became Zsazsa.
Ha,ha! Yes she was! She was my Dad's cousin.Got teased with Gabor as my last name.It means HERO in Hebrew...love it!
Oh dear, please don't use fork and knife for lángos! Need to eat it with your hands. 😂
Advice. No man ever looked at their woman and said "wow, you look so much better with those fake eyelashes".
