Potage is a slightly nicer word.

I think it meant a brothel - from the French estuier (sp.?), originally meaning a pond that was artificially stocked with fish.
But yeah, the English corruption is fortuitous, as it quite nicely conjures up the image of this hot, dank place where the walls are dripping with condensed sweat and miscellaneous fluids.
Well, I say "nicely"...

Get some beans involved for the ultimate nightmare fart-fuel.

I'm not but my girlfriend is, so I cook veggie most of the time.
Chips in pitta just seems like a better idea than doner meat when you're sober and in a place that's known to have a food hygiene rating of 1.

Mangalica pork with beans and various shenanigans.
Food in Budapest is pretty good, though I'm a bit lazy and tend to stick with the same place for my treat lunches - it's a Michelin Guide place in a slightly dodgy area. It never disappoints, and I always have fun imagining what such a meal would cost in London.
I made a hilariously silly Kolbasz pilaf the other day, with the remainder of my bag of frozen king prawns served on the side. Hungary meets India meets Spain was the vague idea.
(The yogurt is actually Tejfol aka Smetana - Hungarians eat a lot of it)
We were also in Chinatown the other day, it was strangely devoid of whitey. I'm not really a Dim sum expert, but my friend is and he reckoned they were better than anything he had had in London. This plate of baked ones was about £4.50, the steamed ones were less than £4.

I grew up with half Hungarian half Pakistanis. My next door neighbours. Aun and Zain. They became career criminals. Latched onto the scam potential of the Internet very early and intuitively. Took their mum on a massive trip to America when they were 16 and 14. Come and gamble in Vegas.

Eggs are way overcooked here, Tea, come one.

Some people like eggs that are still like the ectoplasm from Ghostbusters. Not me, eurgh.

The first time I went to Budapest there was a restaurant that looked super posh, it had a guy in top and tails playing the piano and stuff. We worried about whether we would be able to afford it, went in and had venison steaks and stuff, three courses - it cost about four pounds in the end. Was great.

Remember that fried egg debacle earlier in the thread?

nothing worse (well, some things, I suppose) than a breakfast buffet at a hotel or restaurant where they have a huge heated bin of scrambled eggs that have been sitting there, solidifying for a few hours. you have to carve off a portion and plop it on your plate, where it's able to stand up straight on it's own.
tea must be in heaven there.
