Looks like a nice fair, in our area, I haven't seen them this festive or big yet.
I know who will be able to read this: Kürtős kalács. 😇 It was so surreal to see and buy in Spain this Hungarian cake coming from Transylvania. It is a sweet cake, made of yeast dough, which is spun and baked on a baking spit. When it is baked, it is rolled in ground sugar, hazelnuts, nuts, cocoa, coconut, etc. I bought one with nuts. The price was also surreal, hahaha, 6 euros for this cake (it is hollow inside).
Oh man, I loved these Hungarian cakes SO much from day 1 that I arrived in Budapest. Over the first year, most stalls started to not properly bake the dough and then you had these badly baked ones, so I stopped eating them, To my daughter's annoyance (lol) we loved them with cinnamon.
Recently, I discovered a place selling them in a town nearby, also 5 euros and it was not even tasteful, so a one time purchase. Way overpriced as well.
I'm going to keep my eyes out for any medieval fairs in the region thanks to this post :)

It seems they are too pricy here in Spain, I am not sure many people even know what it is haha. Oh, cinnamon, of course, so tasty! I hope your daughter understood in the end why you stopped buying them, indeed, when the dough is not baked well, it is not nice
Glad you also know what kürtős kalács is 😇
Way too pricy! I think in Hungary, at first we paid 350 HUF for the regular sized ones and it was 550 HUF for the bigger ones.. But I reckon the prices went up as the Hungarian forint became worth less over time as well. Either way, it was our favourite quick snack when passing Nyugati station or the Margit-Sziget bridge where a stall was found.
It's the same with normal cake as well, ruined if not baked properly. She understood, yes but it was a shame because for that money it was a nice snack for a sweet tooth :) lol.
I don't have tons of great memories from living in Budapest but these cakes are definitely one of them, lol.
