Since I’ve been living in Budapest I’ve been eating more pork than I ever have before in my life. And the pork here is great. It’s definitely the meat of choice, and meat from the Mangalica pig–a heritage breed that nearly died out during the Communist-era–is the choicest kind of pork. We happened to be in Városliget (City Park) this weekend when a Mangalica festival was happening. See what I wrote about it on Chew.hu.

Hey, Carolyn. I have some Mangalica pork belly in my freezer and I’m going to cook it next week–I’m so excited! There’s a farm in Washington raising Mangalica hogs:
