Magazine: Sweets Without Borders

On 23 September 2018 the Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism was the venue of the programme called Sweets Without Borders. The goal of the programme was to introduce the typical sweets of ethnic groups living in the Carpathian Basin.

Trade journalist Éva Vojtek was the host of the event organised by the Guild of Hungarian Confectioners. There was a workshop and those who came also had the chance to taste sweets one rarely hears of, such as figural sweet bread fumu that is made in Zala County for special occasions or alvés, a special honey-based pastry made in the Debrecen region.

Ms Vojtek thinks that this programme was something different than the trendy culinary events which are so popular these days: it wasn’t only about eating, but about introducing values that must be preserved.
