Actually, Szlivovitz is originally Slovak, but yes, you can also buy
it in Hungary.
Another "typical" drink is the UNICUM balsam/liqueur (sold in dark round
bottles with a red cross on them). If you never tasted it, ask for a
rather small amount, for one may strongly dislike it (like my family)
or love it (like my boyfriend). But then, the latter was well
accustomed with such Central-European specialties as Becherovka...
You can also ask for a *real* salami stick, and a loaf of real Hungarian
bread (keeps fresh for at least a week).
At the end of November they usually begin with Christmas fairs, which
means a lot of traditional goodies are sold everywhere, like all sort
of ornamented gingerbread or candies. But those are, again, commonly
Central Europe.
