Finom!

A friend who reads the blog mentioned to me the other day that she was shocked that I hadn't made a post about the food in Budapest yet, because as anyone who has ever been here knows, there is not shortage of fantastic food. Overall it is quite fatty and starchy and the portions are massive, but it tastes great, especially when it comes to their baking. I think Hungarians are probably the best bakers in the world.

This fact makes Budapest a very dangerous place for me to live because I have a particular love for pastries, fancy little sweet somethings and baked goods in general and it seems as though they're being sold on every little corner. The chain "Princess" is probably the easiest one to give into because they are strategically located at EVERY metro stop and are incredibly cheap.
Whether you're running late in the morning and didn't have time to have breakfast, or you're on your way home from a long day at work and it won't be another couple hours till you have dinner, or those Saturday mornings when you just need some starch in your stomach to soak of last night's liquid fun - Princess is always there and tasting so fine. They sell a combination of sweet and savory pastries but my favourites would have to be the cheese and pumpkin seed pogacsa and the nut and cocoa mini croissant. But whatever you choose from Princess, it will no doubt be delicious, or "finom" as they say in Hungarian.
