| Lantern and Ceiling, Great Market Hall, Budapest, Hungary © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved (Velvia Slide Film) When entering the Great Market Hall in Budapest, visitors are invited to explore three floors of stalls selling a variety of goods... meats, pastries, caviar, deep-fried treats called langos, fish, garlic, cucumber pickles, palinka (fruit brandy) and of course hot red paprika. The bright arrays of treats may delight the eyes, but one must look up to discover this invitingly warm and ornate ceiling. This month the market will specialize in foods from Thailand as part of its National Gastro Days program. |
