“When the EU was demanding that they take in a significant number of refugees, Orban responded by constructing a barrier across his nation’s entire southern border, decreasing unauthorized migration by 98% in the process. Then, just in case he hadn’t gotten the message across clearly enough, he sent a bill to the EU for half the cost of building the fence. Say what you will about Orban… he may not be much for subtlety but he never really leaves you guessing as to where he stands.”
Gotta love this guy!!!!
The former Eastern bloc nations are better at protecting their citizens and their survival than their more ‘progressive’ counterparts in the west.
Let’s see which ones survive...
I love this Guy!
Maybe we will retire in Hungary!
Any Beaches?
LOL
No, no beaches, but some of THE best food you have ever eaten and THE best desserts in the entire world! :-)
They remember their history, and know what it’s like to lose their countries to hostile invaders. Having just gotten them back they are not so eager to lose them again.

Damn! I can’t eat sugar!
EXACTLY; not to mention the fact that were once taken over by damned Muslims, already and know what that horror was like.
Sorry you can't eat sugar and shan't ever know the delights of Hungarian desserts. :-(
My jaw dropped open when I saw that!
I love cherries and spend a bunch of money during the season.
Immediately went to Google to find out more.
Hungarian Sour Cherry Soup Recipe.
Must have... /drool
I've seen a lot of supposed Hungarian recipes on line and for the most part...they're GARBAGE!
My recipes are at least 8 generations old and both boys and girls are taught them, from the time they are small, in my family, so that we can hand then down to future generations and so they don't die out. :-)
Sure, that would be great! Thanks.
For starters, nobody, and I do mean NOBODY in my family, any Hungarian/descendants of Hungarians I have ever known and most assuredly, NOT A SINGLE Hungarian restaurant I have ever eaten in, leaves the pits in the cherries! If this was "normal", then just WHY did my grandmother still use her grandmother's cherry pitter? LOL
Also, NO wine; never, ever, not one drop is in this soup!
For dessert...with whipped cream ? NO WAY !
Cloves and cinnamon? ROTFLMSO
This is a really simple soup to make :
2 1/2 LBS of cherries...PITTED
2 tbs ( or a bit more...we don't really measure much ) sugar
1 slice of lemon, with the seeds removed
2 teaspoons cornstarch (you can also use arrowroot instead)
3 tbs sour cream
1 1/2 cups of cold water
Place the sugar, water, cherries, and the slice of lemon in a pot and simmer until the cherries are soft. ( maybe 10p minutes or a bit more )
Remove p0ot from the heat.
Mix the the cornstarch or arrowroot in a small dish, with the sour cream and when the mixture is smooth, add to the hot cherries and liquid in the pot.
Put the pot back on a low flame, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth/becomes one and the soup has thickened.
Remove the pot from the heat, allow to cool, then chill.
Taste before serving and add more sugar and/or lemon juice, when needed.
Serve in chilled bowls and you can add a dollop of sour cream, if you care to.
ENJOY! :-)
