Comment on On Menus, Spelling, and Translation by Kimberly Scutt

Hi Carolyn
Thanks for giving me my chuckle of the day. My family and I travel frequently (we stayed in your apartment last August), and see this all the time. I always take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the differences that a new place brings. Many tourists feel it is their right to have menus written in their native language when in actuality, they are a guest. It is a bonus if the menu is translated. (However, it does increase the chances of tourist business).

I’m not looking for anything to be published. i was just wondering if you knew where I can purchase some prune lekvar to bake with. I used to live in New Jersey and had no problem purchasing it. The store went out of business now and I now live in South Carolina and can’t find it any where. Please help.

Well done Carolyn!

I received pictures but no text in the last 4 buda bites. Am I missing something?

Congratulations on your excellent book!
It will stay the best long after it is no longer the only one in its field…
Loved seeing all the Krudy quotes!
Best wishes, and keep up the great work!

Your choice of wine sources for the article is quite OK. My top pic however is now a bookstore in Budapest (no mistake), in Alexandra you can find only a few dozen different wines but they’re from a very good selection of well-known and emerging, very promising wineries. Maligán and 75cl stores also have some unique offering. Although I don’t think this matters for Canadians living in Canada :)
