Hungarofest 2017

Do you know who invented the Rubik's Cube and the ball point pen? Erno Rubik invented the cube and Lazlo Biro invented the biro pen. If you knew the answers to those two questions, you have done well...

Now, what do Rubik and Biro have in common? They are both Hungarians! I learnt that from the Hungarofest 2017 last weekend. Hungarofest is a bi annual festival celebrating the culture,  food and everything Hungarian. It is held in the Hungarian Community Hall in Wantirna. 

We were very keen to taste the wonderful Hungarian food and had to queue well over half hour to buy food. We got the pork knuckle with sauerkraut and goulash.

The pork knuckle was so delicious. The meat was so tender and flavourful. The pickled cabbage went really well with the fatty knuckle.

The goulash was spicy if you accidentally bit into one of the little pieces of chilli floating in the stew. This is a more soupy version of the goulash I like.

It was a really interesting day out for us, getting to know other cultures in Melbourne.
