"Made in Hungary" Lenses

Jaguar Julie Hungarian Lensography -- Made in Hungary

Welcome to Jaguar Julie's Hungarian Lensography -- my lensography which is a compilation of the variety of slightly ethnic, definitely Eastern European, and very HUNGARIAN lenses I've created here at Squidoo.  What immediately should strike...

Made in Hungary -- Not JUST Goulash!

As you may have guessed from the title, this lens is about anything that is "made in Hungary."  I personally wasn't "made in Hungary" or born there, but my grandfather was.  In May 2004, I had the once-in-a-lifetime...

Hungarian Collectibles Lenses

Kalocsa -- Hungarian Folk Art

The Hungarians are known for their pottery and fabulously-decorated stoneware such as those from Kalocsa. My first introduction to Kalocsa pottery was in a small Hungarian city of Heviz.  We stopped for a one-week stay at Club Dobogomajor. ...

Hungarian Food Lenses

Stuffed Cabbage

One of my fondest food memories growing up is watching my grandmother make Stuffed Cabbage ... and then, of course, eating it!  She had a "secret ingredient" that made her stuffed cabbage rolls the best I've ever had!  I'll let yo...

Kifli -- Traditional Hungarian Pastry

Kifli is a traditional Hungarian pastry made by cutting sheets of soft flour dough into triangular wedges, and wrapping those wedges to create a crescent-shaped morsel, which is then baked. I think of them as a variation on the Hungarian Butter Horns...

Paprika -- Hungarian Spice

I've been using Paprika for quite some time, well before I could drive a car. In fact, I even remember as a child adding it to my oatmeal ... today I wouldn't recommend that but I have seen friends adding it to their scrambled eggs! My grandmother u...

Butter Horns, Hungarian Pastry -- 5 Fabulous Recipes

Holidays were always THE time of year that my grandmother baked the most of her famous Hungarian Butter Horns.  She could make hundreds of these at a time, with several different fillings -- usually nuts, apricots, and prune.  It'...

Hungarian Goulash

Do you remember having stew as a child?  I hope you liked it!  It sure seems like I used to have lots of stew when I was younger. Think of this as stew, Hungarian style--that's Hungarian Goulash. Goulash--Gulyás in Hungari...

Hungarian Genealogy Lenses

Vereczki -- Researching this Family Name

I've written another lens on Nagy, the Hungarian Name, which discusses the commonality of the Nagy name.  On the other hand, the Vereczki name is quite the opposite; i.e., its useage is rather rare and indeed difficult to put my finger on any we...

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy

Recently, my sister was reading about László Moholy-Nagy's background and found several of his pictures.  She thought the resemblance to our grandfather, Alexander Nagy, was truly amazing and brought this to the atte...

Kovacs aka Kovach -- Czechoslovakian or Hungarian?

Recently, I commenced an online research of my great grandparents with the Kovach name.  I am relying on information from my maternal grandmother, who is now deceased, and from my mother.  As a child, I remember my grandmothe...

Nagy -- The Hungarian Name

My research has shown that the Hungarian name of "Nagy" is much like the American name of Smith.  In other words, the Nagy name was used a lot in Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, probably because it translated to "big...

Hungarian People Lenses

Bela Lugosi

Ah, Halloween is just around the corner. This time of year makes me think of Bela Lugosi cast as Dracula.  Does he NOT scare you too?  He scared me silly when I was a child and still does! Today I personally will NOT watch scary movies wit...

Ernie Kovacs?

Many comics today can thank Ernie Kovacs for paving the way for them!  He had a type of comedy routine that was the cutting-edge of the 1950s.  Well known for his ad-libbing comedy, he is also attributed to inventing many camera tricks that...

Attila the Hun

Attila the Hun (406 AD–453 AD) was the final and most powerful king of the Huns. He reigned over what was then Europe's largest empire, from 434 until his death of a nasal hemorrhage suffered while celebrating his marriage to Ildico. Though hi...

Zsa Zsa Gabor

Writing a lens on Zsa Zsa Gabor was a "natural" for me as I have several other lenses with a "Hungarian" flavor and more lenses with the "Eastern European" flavor!  So, why not profile one of the more well-known act...

Hungarian Gypsies aka Roma

For the purpose of my lens, "Hungarian Gypsies," is about the "Roma" people of Hungary/Romania.  According to Wikipedia, the Roma are "an ethnic group in Southern and Eastern Europe, Western Asia and the Middle East...

More Hungarian People Lenses

Miklos Rozsa

What do The Green Berets, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, and Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound have in common? Their film scores were all composed by Miklos Rozsa. Rozsa, best known for the score of Ben Hur, composed for these and many other films, but did...

Hungarian Travel Lenses

Hungarian Travel -- My Story of a Trip of a Lifetime
