I was in a thrift store and a man got into the line to pay who was just delighted because he found TWO items that were Hungarian. One was a book. The other was one of those ceramic beer mugs - a big one - that had the image of a Catholic cathedral in Hungary on it. This was missing a top. We laughed about this. The idea that a tourist would visit a Catholic church and buy a beer mug there.
I tend to think of Hungary as a WINE COUNTRY but certainly there are beer drinkers there, just as there are in the United States. Is it the German influence?
