Őrség (1x3)

Air date: Feb 16, 2008

The Őrség, this closed, Calvinistic region with close ties to the Transdanubian region has an archaic culture, in its architecture, in its material world, and in its everyday habits. The film introduces traditional őrségi foods: the porcini mushroom soup with buckwheat, the scone and the buckwheat plum cake, the dödölle, the pumpkin and poppy seed strudel, and we can get familiar with the tiring, "craftsman" method of making pumpkin seed oil. The following dishes were made on the show: - Porcini mushroom soup with buckwheat - Dödölle - Unleavened buckwheat scone - Pumpkin-poppy seed strudel - Fruity buckwheat pie
