Chimney cake ('kürtőskalács' in Hungarian) is a local delicacy that everyone with a sweet tooth needs to try. It is a caramelised spit cake traditionally rolled in granulated sugar/cinnamon. And as one of its most iconic makers, Vitéz Kürtős, is turning 20 this year, they are throwing a huge 'party' celebrating the dessert at the Budapest Zoo. Between 13 and 15 October, they will present 30 types of all-time favourites, meaning you can sample chimney cakes flavoured with cinnamon, sour cherry and poppy seed, and even pistachio.
