Is Quorn available in Budapest by markru
I am a near vegetarian, that is I eat fish but no meat products. In the UK we could get hold of a meat substitute called "Quorn". Does anyone know if there are any stockists in Budapest or elsewhere, i.e. just over the border in Austria. Thanks mark
Theres an asian foodshop shop downstairs in the Central Market that has quorn - my vege friend gets hers there :) I don't suppose it is much use to you if you are outside Budapest andf need to mail order though. Unless someone would post some to ... Read More
Gyms in Budapest by Margle

Floatation tank in Budapest? by MaryM
Has anyone come across a floatation tank anywhere in Budapest, or in Hungary for that matter? I did find a review of one but it's a few years old and the email address is defunct. Cheers
Hi I found the place and went in for a brochure for you, but it is not a floatation tank, though it looks just like one. Its some sort of cellulite busting hydrotherapy machine. Sorry! Hope you find one soon :) Read More
