hurka, pronounced hoor-ka

"liver hurka" and "bloody hurka" (aka liver sausage and blood sausage)

actually it's much better than it sounds LOL

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

Must be pretty damned good, then, 'cause to me those both sound delicious.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

They are, really quite good. Rice based and heavily seasoned.

Most north americans won't eat them.

Oh I would

but my family is Czech - so there you go

Ha! I've learned to love these blood and white sausages from my Czech in-laws. The homemade ones are drool-worthy.

I am highly grateful to my parents for raising me to not turn my nose up at organ meats, blood, stuff like that.

A couple years ago we went out to dinner with my sister's fiancee's Chinese mother to a Chinese restaurant, where she ordered us all this stuff off the Chinese menu (which, like at many restaurants, includes a ton of stuff not available in English), and my dad was trying to ask what this one dish was, and she kept insisting she didn't know the English word for it, until he finally had to come out and explain that he was pretty sure it was a sort of blood pudding and that none of us would be grossed out to have this confirmed. Good stuff, too.

Did it make that one group of people suddenly appear in their underwear? Sweet.

I think it's supposed to say, "Great in all seasons" -- the shot starts with them in heavy fur coats, then cuts to them eating them in swim suits.

If such a thing as logic can be coaxed from such a weird ad...

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

yup, the words are "good in winter and in summer"

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

I think that makes way more sense. Thank you. : )

This makes me miss my Hungarian grandmother's cooking. So good but so much lard in everything...

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

I think you meant "from," not "but."

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

Also nothing but agreement on central European cuisine... I spent two weeks in the Czech Republic and Poland last summer (not exactly the same cuisine as Hungary, but a lot of similar ingredients and techniques, espescially in CR), and fell deeply in love with the food -- particularly paired with the fantastic regional beer. Of course, if it weren't for all the walking and/or running to catch trains we did, I probably would have gained fifteen pounds in two weeks...

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

Dude, I know. I've been there a few times now. The food is great. I remember I had the entire knee of a pig, a HUGE glass of dark beer, and some dumpling things in cream sauce. I felt like a freaking viking or something. I was like "Now THIS is living." The regional beers are great. Sigh. You can't beat the Czechs.

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

We had a feast-for-four at the Pilnser Urquel brewery that involved stewed pork knuckle, several types of sausages, half a duck, and I'm pretty sure some other meat -- along, of course, with white and red cabbage, three types of dumpling, and lots of unpasteurized pilsner.

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

Sweet baby jesus. Awesome. Sounds heavenly.

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

Ahh, the moustaches!

Also, pause at about five seconds and take a longer look at the second child it pans to. Just look a while.

I suppose in a way it's refreshing, in our day of even the supposedly "ugly" people on TV being so photogenic, but with ears like those, you really don't want a haircut that frames them and calls them to such immediate attention...

Gawd, must stop watching. Between the weird Moog music, bad 70's everything, and the awfulness of the food itself . . .

[thehappycat.livejournal.com]

I love this commercial. The way everyone seems to really enjoy the sausages is amusing. Also love the way the music turns Alvin and the Chipmunks-esque halfway through.

do you think they're cooking them in enough fat?
