Thank u Rachel this is very cool!!!

4) favourite dish specific for your country?

HARCSAPAPRIKÁS it's basically fish stew that’s seasoned kind of like goulash, it tasty! And, just plain fried fish that's sold all around Lake Balaton, it's good as shit. I also like lángos, which is actually just deep-fried dough with sour cream, cheese and/or garlic topping

13) does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?

It was frowned upon to toast/clink glasses with beer ever since the pact of Trianon (many parts of Hungary have been given to neighboring countries and it was considered one of the saddest events in Hungarian history) bc the people who wrote the terms of the treaty celebrated with beer that way. I guess that's the strangest I can think of?

14) do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?

I mean, there's some good ass Hungarian movies and shows? (Watch Liza the Fox Fairy, A Kind Of America, Aranyélet, Üvegtigris, or Son of Saul) There's some real bad soap operas too of course, but generally I think our movie industry is growing more potent by each new artist. That being said, free SzFE

15) a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?

O1G (Orbán Egy Geci - Orban’s A Spunk(?). Viktor Orbán is our long-time prime minister and he, together with his political party, are indeed “spunks”)

18) do you speak with a dialect of your native language?

I don’t think so ahfdh ever since urbanization became a thing here, Hungarian dialects have started to fade and now there’s only a very little part of society still speaking it. I’ve had friends from the other part of the country who had a faint accent and used somewhat different words but even they have started to speak in standard hungarian more and more I think. Young folks don’t really work to preserve dialects, so if you want authentic hungarian dialects u need to hit up the rural old communities
