016 Grandmother's Hungarian Friday Meal with Dora Hurley

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023 · This post may contain affiliate links

Today I’m so honored to introduce you to a new friend of mine, Dora Hurley, as she tells us about a very cheap, very simple but very delicious Hungarian “Friday Meal” which served both religious and practical purposes.

I also talk to Dora about her migration to Ireland from Hungary and the contrast between living and eating on “the continent”, as Dora calls it, and a tiny island nation, where she and her husband raise their 3 boys. 

Highlights

  • Religious and practical reasons for this “Friday meal”
  • Food deprivation, food security, and food as currency
  • A kitchen nook the size of an Ikea desk
  • THE Schnapps
  • How Dora’s grandmother worked 2 jobs and still made her feel like the center of her world
  • Quitting an advertising job to waitress in Ireland
  • Life and food on “The Continent” vs. Life and food on the island of Ireland
  • Becoming a goal crusher
