Some dates ey? ;) sounds promising!

Can I put you on the list? :P

Hehe, sure! Will you also be bringing vla and boterkoek? :3

For now it's only stroopwafels. Might it be a succes and people want different things I can provide them next year ;)

We got pretty excited about this topic a moment ago – question, seeing the Handkäse mit Musik, which doesn't seem like a snack in the strict sense... anyway, would you like some (and would it be okay to bring some) non-snack Hungarian stuff besides the snack ones we'll try to bring?  Thinking about kolbász and cheeses but other things might come up too.

Spill it, what would you want to try from Hungary? :)

Ohh...  I want stroopwafels!  ;D  Never had the opportunity to enjoy them, but I keep hearing raving news about them.

If there's anything I can bring from the US let me know!  ^^

I have no idea about specialities from hungary. And of course it doesn't have to be a snack. Anything you think is worth tasting you can bring. Just don't make it too hard or expansive on yourselves ;) Wanna be on the list let me know!

Think of something cool. I'm not looking for specific things to be fair ;)
Wanna be on the list then?

I will be in Italy just before going to EF, so I will bring some snacks as well :)

Another thing: there are so many people getting excited about that food exchange, should we try to make it more official?

If there is enough animo I wouldn't mind looking into getting a place where we can all trade things with each other. Got to see what can be done.

Go ahead and put me on the list, too.  My travel partner is excited about putting together some snacks for everyone.   :)

How many people should we expect to make stuff for?

My current list of stuff:

  • Túró rudi – a weird 'hungaricum' that people find absolutely a horrid idea, but usually once they try it, they'll love it forever. Cottage cheese (Quark for you Germans) covered in dark chocolate.
  • A new product from the same company, a variant on this: filled with chocolate and the cover has nuts in it.
  • A local smoked cheese called Karaván – one of my favourite simple cheeses, I have a few foreign friends who love the stuff, so I'm gonna bring some.
  • Original Hungarian style pickled cucumber (kovászos uborka) – my dad's stuff. If you don't like it, worst case we'll eat it, no problemo :D
  • Some also home-made apricot jam.
How many people are currently interested altogether in this event?  And which of you would like to try any of these?  (and if you have something else in mind that you know of and would love us to bring from Hungary, poke me!)

I can bring this;

Wikipedia (dutch version only, I'm sorry) : http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinaert_%28bier%29
Reinaert is available in Amber, Tripel and Grand Cru.
Or this;

Although the wolfbeer is in my humble opinion not as good as the foxbeer.
I will trade this beers preferably with beer/beverages/food with a foxlogo on them.
This Australian 'Arctic fox' beer fe is high on my wantlist:

I can bring other belgium beers aswell off course, just ask.
Mind that due to limited travel space I can't bring lots of it, and like said, trades with beverages and food with a foxlogo have my preference.

PM me if you want some and have something nice to trade for it.

I see people are getting pretty excited which is why I ask you guys...

Maybe we should see if we can find some room somewhere so everybody can enjoy a little taste, maybe only a bite or sip, of each others things? Is this a good idea?

Also asked this question on my first post.
