I am the only one on this forum who speaks Hungarian? Well I am quite old - born in 1942. But all my relatives could speak Hungarian, though they are all long dead. It used to be a major European language in the Austrian Empire, so sad that it has disappeared. My mother and Aunt did a lot of baking during my childhood, selling cakes to the large minority of Austro-Hungarians who lived in London.

Hi DW,
I´m glad to see you back. It has become difficult for me to enter Litnet, because of recurrent technical issues.
I don´t speak Hungarian myself, but I remember a Hungarian bakery near by.

No doubt they sell strudel.
It is located in Hampstead, just looked it up.
They did sell strudell in the bakery here in São Paulo. Unfortunatelly it doesn´t exist any more.

Mostly belo horizonte, but also minas gerais, sp, and rio. that would have been circa 2000's
Minas Gerais is a beautiful state but specially suffering under Corona now.
You probably enjoyed the Rio beaches too.
