It was a wonderful afternoon for two reasons:
1. As a native Hungarian, I have never heard of "lúdlábtorte". This educational gap has now been corrected by Steve. Perhaps my ignorance came from the fact that my 26 years in Hungary took place under communist rule, during which we were not allowed to learn about lúdláb or torte.
2. It was a very nice encounter with interesting, lovely people. I thank you for that!
Danke Janos. Wenn wir in das ehemalige kommunistische Tschechisch kommen, werden wir sehen, welche Torten sie jetzt haben.
Maybe you can pick these up for your city or garden on eBay?

2 years agoEs war eine wundervoller Nachmittag aus zweierlei Gründen:
1. Ich habe als gebürtiger Ungar noch nie etwas von "lúdlábtorte" gehört. Diese Bildungslücke wurde jetzt von Steve korrigiert. Vielleicht kam meine Unwissenheit von dem Umstand, dass meine 26 Jahre in Ungarn unter der kommunistischen Herrschaft stattfand, in der wir weder lúdláb, noch torte kennenlernen durften.
2. Es war eine sehr schöne Begegnung mit interessanten, lieben Menschen. Ich danke dafür!
They looked good in the photo, and we liked ours! Ok, we'll do our part by researching in Prague. Stay tuned.
2 years agoIt was a wonderful afternoon with you two! Maybe the torten didn't quite live up to my expectations, I'll have to do some more research for your next visit. Gute Reise!
2 years agoYou can see those two senf packets. Surprisingly I had to remember to ask for them!
2 years agoMit Senf, of course!
2 years agoOne always mentions how old the various buildings are, as a kind of academic point. But here we have evidence of people enjoying exactly the same things decades apart.
2 years agoYou certainly did a good job seeing the sights! The only thing that is missing is some torten! Maybe we can find a konditorei.
2 years agoI remember the Glockenspiel. We had our 2 little girls with us and hurried to get to the Marienplatz in time to watch it at noon. That was spring of 1977. A nice delivery guy offered us a ride there in his van after we asked him for directions... He also gave us a marvelous map with drawn pictures of the various buildings. It was a great show of hospitality!
2 years agoMunich is indeed a lovely city. Twice we have met Suzanne there which made it seem special. Give her your best wishes when you meet her tomorrow
