Hungarian Vegan Trivia

Take this quiz to find out how much you know about vegan food in Hungary and Budapest!  I'm hoping to write more vegan quizes in the future!  Answers at the bottom.

1. True or False: It is hard to eat vegan in Budapest.
2.  You can get a vegan version of this popular Hungarian soup (which is not generally vegan) at vegan restaurants such as Edeni Vegan.  Name the soup.
3.  What is the Hungarian word for vegan?
4.  What food causes a lot of Hungarian food to not be vegan (or vegetarian or pescetarian or kosher)?
5.  What is the name of the crescent shaped pastry served in Hungary?
6.  What is the fruit based brandy that is almost always vegan called?  (Hint it starts with a P)
7.  About how many 100% vegan restaurants are there in Budapest (According to Happy Cow)?  I'll give you some choices to make this easier A. 1, B. 5, C. 10, D. 50
8.  True or False: There is a vegan restaurant across the street from the Hungarian National Museum.
9.  True or False: The raw vegan restaurant Mannatural closed.
10.  Hungarian cuisine can also be called this type of cuisine resembling both the name Hungarians use for their own country and the group of people who are given the most credit for establishing/settling Hungary.

1.  Answer: False.  Even though much of the regular cuisine contains animal products Budapest has a large number of vegan restaurants and vegetarian restaurants with vegan options.  Of course then there are the markets (such as Great Market Hall) and grocery stores that offer lots of produce and more.
2.  Goulash
3.  It's quite easy.  It's vegán.  Notice the accent mark-that actually makes it simpler because it keeps vegan  pronounced the same as in English.
4.  Lard.  Unfortunately Hungarian food is often cooked with lard making it a safer bet to eat at vegan, vegetarian or kosher restaurants.
5.  Kifli.  I'll admit I didn't remember this and ended up including it because a picture brought back good memories (again from Edeni Vegan).
6.  Palinka.  It is often consumed before a meal.  
7.  C.  There are about 10.  However, you could probably find about 50 restaurants at least that offer a vegan option.
8.  Yes, Vega City is across the street.  Do beware though that Vega City is closed on the weekend.  It is only open on weekdays 9am to 7pm.  The best time to go is during lunch.  It is quite popular at lunch time and there is usually a line.
9.  Well this is true and false, but I'd say mainly false.  It mostly just changed its name to The Restaurant of Life.  It is still a raw vegan restaurant with the same management.
10.  Magyar Cuisine.  The Magyar's came from Asia one reason the Hungarian language doesn't closely resemble any other European language (it has some similarity to Finnish).
