When you have FRÖCCS (Wine Spritzer) next time, make sure it’s made with SZÓDAVÍZ (carbonated water) and not plastic bottled SZÉNSAVAS ÁSVÁNYVÍZ (carbonated mineral water). While SZÓDAVÍZ, chilled and fresh, brings out the best in wine and makes it a light summer drink, the minerals in the latter spoil the inherent properties of wine.

Twentieth century beer-marketing has done great efforts in order to convince everyone that beer is a summer-drink, while we know it was even banned to brew beer in the summer before the invention of mechanic cooling.

By Treehugger Dan: I wish I could recommend some great pizza in Budapest, but I have yet to encounter one.

New York Pizza's pizza is also good (everything else on their menu I have tried is great, especially their lunch menu). Any suggestions?
