(June 21)
I.:
Ice Cream --- the word is fagylalt, but many people just called it fagyi (pronounced-sort of- fawdgie). It is a BIG deal here... there are stands on most major streets and many restaurants have windows open to the street to sell it to passers-by. The consistency is more like gelato than american ice cream and the flavors are certainly different... chocolate and vanilla, yes, but also walnut, tiramisu, poppy seed (I haven't tried that one yet, but I am curious) and many fruit flavors including Puncs (punch).
4 PM is snack time--people fill cafes and eat cake or they promenade down the wide boulevards eating their fagyi. A nice tradition.
