Mayonnaise in Budapest, June 1999

Mayonnaise: Budapestians love their mayonnaise. Every Hungarian-run ethnic restaurant we've encountered substitutes mayonnaise for some important ingredient or other. We saw a cute little Greek place with Greek salads smothered in mayonnaise, presumably to replace the feta and vinaigrette. You can get mayonnaise on your hot dog or your fried bread. You might enjoy it on salmon or scrape it off your falafel.

And here's another variation on expectations: to accommodate those who dislike tomatoes, you can get your pizza normal, or white -- meaning without ketchup.
