ONE HUNGARIAN CATHOLIC PARISH REMAINS IN CLEVELAND...

Saint Margaret's and Saint Emeric's have closed in Cleveland.  Here's an article about Saint Elizabeth's of Hungary... from Cleveland.com

WAS YOUR SURNAME CHANGED?

(If you leave a comment, please leave an honest note about your ethnic heritage!)

PLUMS in Hungarian is SZILVA

Every once in a while, usually at either a gourmet store or a dollar store I find fruit preserves imported from Hungary... Plum, Peach, Apricot, or Cherry.
