I don't think the Magyars are a turkic people--at least, the language is
finno-ugric, not Turkic. And I don't think the Finns are descended from
Magyars, given how different the languages are--just that they have some
common origin much farther back. If we are talking about migrations that
occurred prior to the invention of agriculture, I doubt we can expect much
culinary connection--anyone know what the conjectural dates are?
