Where to buy good quality lamb? (Budapest) by Argonaut
Morning all, there's some things that I miss from the UK (but not that many), one of them is lamb. So far, I've tried without success to find a good place to buy it, Tesco's offers some pre-packed very fatty and extremely expensive lamb but that's ...
Well, I've asked at the local butchers (a couple of different ones) and also at supermarkets with no success. I'm not bothered about paying a proper price for decent lamb but I refuse to pay the prices at Tesco and at Auchan for small portions of ... Read More

Thanks for the responses. I've also seen the lamb in Auchan at Savoya Park (pretty close to me at home here in Budafok). It's usually very small cuts and stupidly expensive at around HUF 2,500 for 600g. No Turkish butchers anywhere? When I lived in ... Read More

Kick boxing/Tai Bo (English Speaking) by Ms ExPat
Hi there I'm new to this forum so apologies if this has been covered already. I'm looking for some kind of kick boxing or tai bo classes. Just for fitness purpose, non combat. Does anyone know of any in Budapest or something similiar? In ENglish ...
