I was visiting a fair and came across this Hungarian pastries stall. They claim to be made from organic ingredients. It doesn't appear they have a shopfront for this, so if you have run out of things to eat, you might want to give them a call or email and see where they will be next.

Below: Slice of some sort of cake/biscuit. On the left, walnut flavour. On the right, poppyseed flavour.

Below: Looks like a doughnut but it is actually non-oily. They make it by toasting dough on a rotating cylindrical steel rolling pin. Then they take it out of the oven, and dust with almond & sugar mix (also available in other flavours such as chocolate, hazelnut etc).

I really enjoyed the second pastry - the exterior is hard and cruncy, while the interior is white and fluffy. The best part is that it is not overly oily like a doughnut or pretzel. Very unique!
