Though pretty much everything I’ve been eating in Budapest has been great, Mangalica Mennyország was a bit of a mixed bag.
There’s a Greek dessert called tsoureki — a sweet, bready pastry that’s typically served for Easter, though some places serve it year round. One of those places: Terkenlis, a Thessaloniki bakery that serves a beloved take on the dessert.
Chestnut desserts don’t really get the respect they deserve back home. They basically don’t exist unless you really seek them out (and even then they’re difficult to find), and I don’t understand why. They’re quite tasty.
