Usual Hamming Around, Unusual Ham at This Year’s Pálinka and Kolbász Festival

I’d like to know what in particular was special about the Spanish blend of mangalica (dried) sausage/kolbász as there are at least three different types of mangalica kolbász available in the Nagycsarnok. There is a really tasty small szarvas-mangalica kolbász (venison-mangalica dried sausage). I’ve also seen other cured mangalica hams around from time to time, but maybe this is seasonal? These are all freely and easily available, so what is the added value of the Spanish connection?

Well, I don’t know exactly what everyone is doing here in Hungary, ham and sausage-wise, but I suspect it is not Spanish-style. Jamón, like the more famous Italian prosciutto crudo, isn’t smoked, and is very delicate. Same with the lomo, which is like a tenderloin. Chorizo is fattier, but also different than any csípős kolbász I’ve had. Whether it is better is up to personal taste, but I’m pretty sure it’s different.

Just for added info. we also operate a bio-farm and specialise in Mangalica, current herd of 12 will be increased as usual after the winter.
Best pork available by far.

Van–on the one hand you offer advice about secure e-mails,then you come out with the knife in your hand and now you ask this oft repeated question.For your info and much to your dissappointment I am in the process of receiving full Hungarian citizenship “passport” and my business partners are all ‘real’
Hungarians.We are here to stay my friend !

Those with no family connections to Hungary should not be allowed to buy land.(But talk to me nicely and I might be able to arrange for you to buy some in the local cemetary )

Van–Open your eyes (I know you hate that )and stop been such an ‘all mighty’ obnoxious fool,inside you is an intelligence just trying to get out,but it is trapped by your ‘holier than thou’ attitude .
As you know from countless comments,my family line is Hungarian and my father bought the initial piece of land followed by my joint business ventures with some Hungarians (jobbik as it turns out!)
I can not say much more as I am aware all my comments are monitored by those juvenile haters,but rest assured nobody is talking about repatriating anybody,this is not the BNP after all.
Back to topic—Enjoy the mangalica-at least we have one thing in common

Erik–You are not implying that ‘Hungarians or jewish descend’(sic) as referred to by Ván are ‘other pigs’ ?? LOL

Oh, and Ricsi: I suppose we can email you via http://www.ivanov.hu as well?

Hahah Ricsi,

Sepp44 has your number REAL bad. If I were you I’d be a little less of a smartass online because people seem to be LOOKING for you and your Nazi rhetoric REALLY pisses people off who lost relatives to Nazis. I hope the Hungarians do to you what they did to the Jews and no one will laugh louder about it than me.

You have some psychological issues that are your own problem but clearly your boyfriend ran off with a Jew once. Don’t worry! You can still take it in the a-s from a German! You might be able to find a blind one with no sense of smell to oblige you!

Just remember… this may all be a game for you, but one day you will meet someone you have insulted face-to-face, and BOY do I hope the youtube cameras are rolling!

You might want to consider getting a little less confrontational as you age, because scar tissue is not an attractive facial feature.

Oh, also, anyone with ANY electronic security savvy can find you SOOOO easily… Your bravado in continuing your racial provocation in the light of this is not suuuper intelligent. Just a thought Mr. Farmer Man.

TO RICSI THE RACIST HATE MONGER — go to VivaMalta website and see his writings. Then take note of THIS —

European Union Directive for Combating Racism and Xenophobia (2007)

The text establishes that the following intentional conduct will be punishable in all EU Member States:

- Publicly inciting to violence or hatred , even by dissemination or distribution of tracts, pictures or other material, directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin.
- Publicly condoning, denying or grossly trivialising
- crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes as defined in the Statute of the International Criminal Court (Articles 6, 7 and directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin, and
- crimes defined by the Tribunal of Nuremberg (Article 6 of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal, London Agreement of 1945) directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin.
Member States may choose to punish only conduct which is either carried out in a manner likely to disturb public order or which is threatening, abusive or insulting.
The reference to religion is intended to cover, at least, conduct which is a pretext for directing acts against a group

@Ricsi

Ricsi,the Mangalica salami I bought was not impressive.Too dry and a tad on the sharp side.The smoked ‘English’ bacon was brilliant.All gone.

The Mako onions were crap.Half were rotten,The Mako garlic were starting to grow.Most disappointing by Tescos’ standards.

Take no notice of the retards baiting you.Stick to what you are doing.I hope you do well with the farm.
regards Joska

To whom it may concern-
Thank you for the legal lesson,though I am sure both VivaMalta and Jobbiks legal representatives are well knowledged in law. Joska I never once thought it was you,you would have heard from me by now!
Whoops,almost forgot………..something important
YOU FOOLS GOT THE WRONG MAN !!!!!!
let me give you a few clues—I am not Bulgarian but originally from England,I am not married and my partner is not called Andrea,that is not my land,that is nowhere near my address,Erik the site owner and 2 legal entities are aware of your amateurish error.I have a question for you legal experts—What is the law regarding false accussations,slander and hate mail to an innocent third party (who is not even politically motivated)?

Guys: I accuse you both of being petty, bickering old men. Feel free to take it back to politics.hu. At the very least, say something about the post.

Ricsi, we are not sloppy, just more clever than you realize YET. Stay tuned. Watch how this unfolds.

Oh also, we’ll see how happy the Jobbik leadership is that thanks in part to you, links can now be shown that Jobbik’s members are publicly associated with neo-Nazism. The success of their strategy depends on their ability to at least pretend to not be associated with such unsavory elements as yourself and your partner. At least that’s how public relations works.

Ricsi, YOUR clumsy, in-your-face racist efforts don’t fit in with Jobbik’s attempts to keep a low-profile re: hate-speech, so we will contact Jobbik’s HQ and let them know about how you are blowing their cover… Let’s see how smug you are then.

Also, perhaps some journalists will be contacting Jobbik to “expose Jobbik’s links with the Neo-Nazi fringe/vivamalta.org”. We are in contact with some US newspaper journalists very interested in your story and these links and they are working on interesting expose in light of recent events in Hungary.

Something tells me you might lose that Jobbik membership card you worked so hard to earn…

Stay tuned.

And yes, sorry to the culinary folks who might still be on this thread! We’ll take this “offline”, don’t worry! Our apologies. We’ll try not to be back here.
