Canteen #8—Pickles
In summer, we feast on crunchy vegetables and fruits, which are good to keep for the autumn and winter months. It’s not just a kitchen pastime, it’s also an important task—as our ancestors well knew, for whom pickles were a way of supplementing their vitamins in cold

Canteen #7—Fish dishes
A part of the summer spirit is to eat hake on the shore of Lake Balaton, carefully scored beforehand, then rolled in spicy, paprika-flavored flour and fried in hot oil. But there’s much more to Hungarian cuisine than that—check out the fish dishes at the Canteen’s counter!

This is why we love “The Informant” | Interview with production designer Imola Láng
Citrus yellow portable MINI-VIDI, pastel blue plastic milk carton holder, red leatherette club chairs, pink minyon (Hungarian cream-filled cake—The Transl.) on metal drawer cabinet. These all appear in the show called “The Informant.” Being object-obsessed design theorists, we were immediately sucked in by the film. It was a no-brainer

Playful tableware makes the canteen a happier place
Many of us certainly have had negative experiences from the years we spent in public education. In my memories, the unpleasant taste, smell, and appearance of food are often paired with depressing environments: scratchy and sticky brown plastic trays, rigid cutlery, and “Don’t play with your food” type admonitions
