Monday, 17 March 2014. Attempt the world record for the slowest chewing in culinary history? Linger over the soup until the gobbets of fat congealed into a solid carapace? Sup enough beer until the Dutch courage inspired us to stand up to the waitress who looked as if she could take on the entire Welsh rugby team and come out the winner?

Disappearing Budapest: March 2011

http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, 5 March 2011. Miksa Róth - genius of stained glass. Walking through the rooms in the apartment where Miksa Róth once lived is a strange experience, as the man who spent his life making stunning stained glass windows and intricate mosaics in a myriad colours, apparently chose to live in surroundings that were entirely in shades of brown.

http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Friday, 24 September 2010. Katalin Karády - actress of action. In this age of great cinematic ideas but scarce financial backing, Hungarian film makers often look back with wistful nostalgia to the 1940s - a golden age of Magyar cinema when such charismatic stars as Pál Jávor, Klári Tolnay and Zita Perczel graced the screen. One star who shone particularly brightly was Katalin Karády, a brilliant actress whose life matched many of her roles for drama and intensity. The plaque placed by the local governme...
