Gastronomy of Békés
Have a taste of Békés!
Békés is famous for its basket weaving and mats products. The Békés szilva palinka is listed as a Hungaricum
(traditional Hungarian origin protected products) in the world, the meat products- such as the sausage- in this
region are the most delicious. In the town more and more people deal with bio-production. We can highly
recommend the excellent quality products of the enterprises of Békés to our visitors’ attention. One of our
country’s most prestigious and biggest cultural and gastronomic event in tradition is the Sausage Festival of Békéscsaba
at the end of October. At the festival Békés is always represented in an honourable way. Our town lies
10 kilometres from Békéscsaba, so for the duration of the festival for those who visit there we are able to provide
excellent accommodation facilities.
Békés Town can be rightly proud of numerous local producers and local products. It’s just enough to mention
the noteworthy palinka, the sausage, the plum marmalade, or among professions the basket-making. Thanks
to the size and quality of the land area of Békés the number of farmers and small manufacturers is really significant,
who sell their locally produced vegetables and fruit at the local market. So if someone desires the “real
tastes of Békés”, then his or her way can only lead to the town’s market. Here you can confidently sort out of the
tasty and colourful products.
We can recommend benevolently the rightly famous homemade and homemade type manufacturer products to
everyone’s attention: such as the protected designation of origin plum marmalade, cheese, homemade sausages,
various types of honey and honey products, bio- vegetables and fruit.
Naturally, those who take a visit to Békés, have to taste the crescent roll with plum jam made of short pastry.
When we have a taste of this small cake, our grandmother’s wonderful kitchen may get invoked within our memories,
with its atmosphere and the memories of sometime pig-slaughtering.
