Aranygaluska (“AR-ON-EE GAL-OOSH-KA”) is a rich yeast-raised dessert flavored with walnuts and jam, and often served with vanilla sauce. These yeast-raised round dumplings are squished together in a baking pan, brushed with melted butter, sprinkled with vanilla sugar and are best eaten hot from the pan. Aranygaluska is generally a home-made dessert, rather than a restaurant dessert.

JAAAAAAM??????? What for?
I’m not quiet sure you know what you’re talking about.
No jam….no, no,no…..never….
And another thing…..it is pronounced Ahran gah-lushka not aronee …t.y.
We call them bukta in my house, and yes we used jam or some stewed fruit
Aranygaluska, at our house, is topped with sugar and nuts. Then mom makes a vanilla wine sauce to dip them in. I do not recall any fillings. For bukta, they do have fillings, no sugar and nuts on top. No vanilla wine sauce. both remind me of monkey bread, but are much better tasting
So now I should have Erik on all recent comments. Why nothing on the plans to shut bars and restaurants in the 6th district at 10pm. And don’t tell me it will never happen, cause I have been to enough meetings to suggest it might. Just why have you never helped us raise the issue amongst the caboodle community ?
Partick – Of course everyone here is not to happy about it but as expats in the Hungo world our voices are less than insignificant to the elected officials in the VI Gulag. If they, idiotically, do actually follow through on this measure, the city will not be better off but I am not going off on a quixotic fight in the mean time.
@Patrick McMenamin: The news I read on this (about 2-3 weeks ago) clearly stated that the expected revision of the licensing hours was in response to years of unanswered demands from District VI’s residents. They had petitioned in their thousands and finally, perhaps in a new found community responsiveness gesture in the shadow of ongoing court cases, the council responded with the planned revisions from the end of August and September.
From what I read the plans in most places are for outdoor areas such as Jókai square to stop serving drinks etc from 24h00 with closing around 01h00. I didn’t see anywhere talking of a blanket 22h00 curfew. Given what I saw last time I was over in District VI I’d say the residents have plenty of grounds to be pissed off with the late openings when the ‘externalities’ of their business costs for the licensed bars are passed on to the local residents.
I’m sure this will simply create more opportunities for other districts to benefit from the fall out.
n.b. If the Caboodle ‘community’ don’t already know about any of this then lets not pretend they have any legitimate right to their ignorant dormant opinions when they eventually find out and start expressing them.
@Patrick McMenamin: It may have helped if you had pointed out that you have a personal interest in this respect as the owner of the Caledonia Bar & Restaurant in District VI. In which case I can understand your concerns about the effects on your own business. Budapest is certainly different from British city centers that are largely shopping savannas during the day and drinking ghettos by night, with these (over)consumption activities taking place in distinct, neighboring locations. Budapest is a largely residential city, not the barren wastelands that breweries in the UK recovered from old warehouses and dockyards to tun in to licensed puke pits with adjoining taxi ranks. Noise and drunken crowds here makes the place into the wasteland most British city centers are desperate to recover from. I’d say it’s about time the residents were listened to. You can always get pissed on Margaret Island or in the Városliget till the early hours. Or try Csepel. I hear it’s lovely at night.
To be fair Patrick does not hide behind a alias and should be common knowledge that he runs one of the best expat pubs in the city. Your comment about listening to the residents in the city is a bit unfair as most of these people will complain about the sunlight at noon or that its too dark at midnight. There should be a better solution rather than a forced closing at 10pm.
@C’est moi: You’re right that it doesn’t take much to encourage people to complain, but it is quite another thing to motivate one to actually do something. And the fact that thousands have speaks for itself. When a Hungarian gets off their arse and does something, people really should listen, because their is something seriously wrong, not just one of your normal bank holiday marches.
I’ve no sympathy with expat ghettos either.
Ara-NY-galuska is my favourite thing that i will everytime. fg beatricce
