Detailed program:
29.12.2008. (Monday)
Arrival at the apartments in Tihany in the afternoon, dinner in our cellar restaurant: jelly soup with all the necessary parts of the piglet to make it typical, traditional. We drink a home-made strong poteen to the piglet' and our guests' health. This will give the basis of the evening cheer. We also offer you plenty of wine in clay jugs.
30.12.2008. (Tuesday)
on this day you can have a traditional Hungarian Shepherd's breakfast on wooden plate, with a thick slice of bread, hot wine with spices, tea or farm milk. Don't try to find a cola here. You can find raspberry, elderberry, redcurrant syrup instead, for the children to fight their thirst. After this plenty and rather unhealthy breakfast we get on the farm wagons and, through the lakeside, we drive the horses to the wine cellars. You will admit as well, that they should never be out of programme. Here we are going to our best to get drunk as much as possible. You need not worry about getting back to the wagon—we are going to take care of you.
According to our experiences, at this point man usually gets hungry again. So we aim the village museum restaurant, and drive the horses there. Here you will be our assistance to prepare our cabbage lunch with smoked flitch, bones and trotters in the caldron. You can be sure to get suffice. You won't need a napkin either, you will surely clean your fingers as well with your tongue, as we say it here. And, as you may have already found it out, you will be offered plenty of wine, poteen, too.
