The week of Hungarian cuisine will be held for the ninth time between May 14 and May 16 in Subcarpathia, during which 20 restaurants and catering establishments in the Ungvár, Beregszász and Nagyszőlős areas will offer Hungarian food at discounted prices.
The week of Hungarian cuisine was created in 2012 on the model of Throat Thursday, which became successful in Hungary - reminded Sarolta Csizmár, vice-president of the Transcarpathian Hungarian Tourist Board (KMTT) at the press conference introducing the Transcarpathian gastronomic event, which is also supported by the Hungarian government. In a short time, the event became extremely popular both among local tourists and among tourists from the Ukrainian counties beyond the pass, but guests also came from the border areas of Hungary and Slovakia.
Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the KMTT announced the gastronomic event for the middle of May this year, during which 20 restaurants, guest houses, and wineries will offer the masterpieces of Hungarian cuisine at half price on May 14, and at a 25 percent discount on May 15 and 16.
József Barta, the vice-president of the Subcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association, emphasized that tourism is an important sector in Transcarpathia, which is visited by many tourists due to its natural beauty, historical heritage, and cultural and linguistic diversity. And the week of Hungarian cuisine can help strengthen the friendship based on mutual respect between the peoples and nations living here, which has always characterized Transcarpathia.
