Gourmet Afternoon in Žitkovci

Žitkovci, a small settlement near Dobrovnik, is not only famous for Ferenc Deák, the "wise man of the homeland" (whose roots are tied to this village), but also for the well-known gastronomic event "Gourmet afternoon" which is also organised annually. At this popular event, full of atmosphere, locals and people from the neighbouring settlements present traditional dishes and other gastronomic specialties typical of the cuisine of Hetés.

Visitors can choose from a variety of cakes; different savoury breads; corn flour cakes, strudels; stews, for example, the traditional Hungarian stew called pincepörkölt; roast meats; bread with minced lard spread; salads; and buckwheat delicacies on tables set up on the green next to the village hall. In addition to the food delicacies, the organisers also take care of the refreshments, i.e. they offer delectable local wines, and arrange live music for a great atmosphere.
