Pöttyös

Sziget Festival 2007

Pöttyös (I have no idea how to explain its pronunciation to English speakers but it sounds like ”per-tier-yursh”) :) It is one of my favourite Hungarian chocolate. In my childhood, they called it Túró Rudi which refers to the sweetened cottage cheese inside and coated with milk-chocolate. On the SZIGET festival they have their own ”territory” since they are always one of the festival sponsors. They held a lot of funny games in that area where also a lot of chocolate:) automated vending machines can be seen.
The laying girls try to force each other out of the circle wearing this huge red “balls”. Its a bit like Japanese sumos.:)

  1. That’s funny! And brilliant color, too. I wish I was small enough to do that. If adults played this game, many of them would have too much beer first, like in my son’s picture on Friday for his Chicago CDPB.

    It looks lots of fun, even though I don’t like chocolate! I am putting a post up about chocolate in the UK today – coincidence!

    Your picture got a big smile from me. It looks a fun thing to watch, and the colours are stunning.
    I like the sound of those chocolates, saying that I like the sound of any chocolates

    When I first seen this photo on the portal, I thought, What the heck? This looks like fun.
