Elizabeth it will have to be later in the day. Christmas chores are very much. In the meantime I would like to wish all my friends on the Hungary List a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year. The recipe will come later this evening.

Bobajka are little bread cubes, steamed, then melted butter poured over them and dry pot cheese added also. So it is with melted butter and pot cheese. Also we make it with honey and poppy seed. It was always for Christmas Eve which was a meatless meal. The bobajka can be bought in a bakery and are little cubes of bread. I make my own from my mother's recipe.

What is bobajka? Elizabeth V. Cardinal [email protected]
We always have a traditional Christmas Eve soup, but it doesn't contain sausage. It is with dried mushrooms, sauerkraut, and heavy sweet cream. This recipe has been in my husband's family for many, many years. His mother always made it and now I make it and have the recipe written in my Christmas book of memories along with bobajka, home made.

Peter, thank you for this website. This is very helpful especially when I use my laptop without a full keyboard (no keypad on the side). You can also go to control panel and add Hungarian keyboard. Here is a website with instructions to do this. http://www.hungarianassociation.com/TypeInHungarianInWindows.htm Here is what the keyboard looks like in Hungarian. http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/kbdhu.htm you can also buy stickers for your keyboard http://www.datacal.com/hungarian-overlays.htm Here is another handy website. http://blog.felho.hu/hungarian-unicode-qwerty-keyboard-layout.html There are lot more helpful website like for MAC user if you do a google search for Hungarian Keyboard.

Gerald this was posted by Suzanne back in 2002. Hope this helps, Laszlo (Les) Josa -----Original Message----- From: Suzanne J [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2002 12:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [HUNGARY-L] Corrected Hungarian Keyboard and special letters or characters Upon review of the previously posted Hungarian Keyboard and special letters or characters, which I had just copied and pasted from my original work, I noticed that everywhere I have BOLDED the word, it appears here in numbers, so for easier use I have removed the BOLDING and am resubmitting it. Sorry about that. Also, I notice that some of the characters are also showing up with numbers instead of the actual character. I will have this problem remedied on the webpage which I will post the address for as soon as it is up. Method 1—Installing the Hungarian Keyboard For the Hungarian keyboard--if you have Windows 98 AND if the option for installation is already available in your computer’s keyboard setup, this should be a fairly simple process-- 1. Go to Start 2. On the pop up menu--go to Settings 3. Go to Control Panel and click 4. Find the image of the Keyboard and double click 5. When the Keyboard Properties window appears, click on Language. 6. You will see several languages--just click once on the one you want so it is highlighted (darkened). 7. Now click on the ADD button (you can do this several times if you want various languages) 8. Where it says "Default Language" you want it to be "English (United States)." 9. To switch languages (go back and forth from English to Hungarian or others) I selected the Left Alt+Shift because I'm better coordinatated for that one, but by selecting the "Enable indicator on taskbar" I just click back and forth on that (it will be down in your right hand corner taskbar when you finish all this). 10. Hit ok and restart your computer. The language selector should appear now. Once you have selected Hungarian or HU, the coordinating letters and keys are as follows: The letters "Y" and "Z" are switched. A bit difficult to get used to at first so watch for them when you have the Hungarian keyboard turned on. Key ' and " = á and Á Key ; and : = é and É Key = and + = ó and Ó Key 0 and ) = ö and Ö Key [ and { = ő and Ő Key - and _ = ü and Ü Key ] and } = ú and Ú Key \ and | = ű and Ű If your computer does not have the option for the Hungarian keyboard available through the above process you will have to install it—a bit more tedious but fairly simple nonetheless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Method 2—Installing the Hungarian Keyboard— First, if you have a printer, you will find it easier to follow my instructions if you print this out. To install the languages you need, follow these steps: 1. On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. 2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. 3. Click the Windows Setup tab. 4. In the Components list, click Multilanguage Support, and then click Details. 5. Select the check boxes next to the languages you want to use. 6. Click OK 7. Go back to Start 8. Go to Settings 9. Go to Control Panel 10. Double click on the Keyboard image 11. Select the Language tab 12. Click on the language you want (Hungarian) 13. Click on the ADD button 14. Select which method you want to switch languages 15. Be sure to put a check mark in the Enable indicator on taskbar (it makes it much easier to switch back and forth). 16. To be sure my changes are not lost, I always RESTART my computer after adding/removing programs so I suggest you do the same. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Accented or Special character letters (creating manually) 1. Make sure your “NUM LOCK” is turned ON. 2. Hold down the “ALT” key 3. For the following characters, use the number pad (not the number upper case number keys), and type in the following codes: Á = ALT + 0193 á = ALT + 0225 É = ALT + 0201 é = ALT + 0233 Í = ALT + 0205 í = ALT + 0237 Ó = ALT + 0211 ó = ALT + 0243 Ö = ALT + 0214 ö = ALT + 0246 Õ = ALT + 0213 (note: on some computers and when using the Netscape browser, the hash marks over the “O” and “o” look more like the ~ or enya as in the Spanish señor or señorita). õ = ALT + 0245 Ú = ALT + 0218 ú = ALT + 0250 Ü = ALT + 0220 ü = ALT + 0252 Ű (note: I have not found a code for this letter “U’ or “u” with the hash mark over it, nor is there an ~ or enya which might be substituted). ű Note: If the above instructions are not working for you, most likely your problem is that you ARE NOT using the number keypad on the right side of your keyboard. The number keys above the letter row will not work using the Num Lock > ALT > method. If you are using a laptop with no number keypad, you will have to look closely at the keys and find the ones that have the numbers for the keypad and be sure the Num Lock is turned on.

When I am typing in Microsoft Word is it acceptable to use the Alt key plus 0245 to get the Hungarian double slanted slash over the "o"? Is this the same as the last letter in Gávavencsello? The Alt + 0245 looks like the wave over the Spanish special umlaut letter "n". Any advice as to what character to use in an Hungarian story? Thanks, Gerald Kisabeth
