 SZEGED
is also known for its produce which is sold worldwide, PICK SZALAMI
and SZEGEDI PAPRIKA. Paprika is used in cooking to give that delicious
taste and colouring to Hungarian cuisine. (Famous Hungarian GULYAS
) of course this goes hand in hand with the Bogrács (Caldron)
in which many people cook the nations favourite meal, it does wonders
for the stomach the next morning when the day before you were tasting
the fabulous wines of the region. And the csárdás
the national dance, you really need heaps of energy, great fun.
White and red wines, palinka. Bullblood (Bika vér) a smooth Red wine. My favourite is Tokaj which has a whole family of different strength white wine( The King of Wines the wine of Kings ) Hungarians really do know how to enjoy themselves. Szeged the City is full of Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings. A very famous man called Albert Szent-Gyorgyi discovered vitamin C ( extracted from paprika ) here for which he won the Noble Prize. Albert Szent- Gyorgyi started his life works in Szeged. The Rubik cube was also invented in Hungary by Erno Rubik. The centre point of this beautiful City is DOM SQUARE, the same size as SAINT MARK SQUARE in Venice. The Cathedral was finished in 1930 from money raised from the people who escaped the great flood in 1879. It holds 5,000 people, called the VOTIVE TEMPLOM, and has the second largest bell in the country weighing, 8.6 metric Tonnes. |
