Budapest tips · Eat and drink
Not too cold, please
This isn't a recommendation, just an interesting fact.
A huge majority of Hungarians believe that very cold drinks will eventually give you a sore throat. As a result, you'll notice people drink their beverages warmer than in the United States, or even in Western Europe.
It goes so far that when I was little, we even had so-called winter ice cream: a cone filled with just a foam or mousse. It didn't need to be refrigerated, because it wasn't ice cream at all. Almost everybody believes it, and it passes from generation to generation.
