Hello My Unknown Friend,

I just finished a hungarian msg for you on how to make "Galuska" in three 
easy steps.Because I wasn't sure if you received it,I will repeat it for 
the benefit of our other friends on this fantastic newsgroup!
So,let the magic begin:
First step: Take 400gm of flour,one egg,and a pinch of salt.In the 
meantime heat up a big pot of salty water.
Second step: While the water is boiling mix the ingredients quickly,but 
easily with a little bit of cold water in a separate bowl.Do not overdo 
it,because it would be hard to work with.
Third step:Using the God given equipment called "galuska-szaggato" world 
wide,simply cut out the gnocchies(as some englishmen like to call it).If 
you do not have the piece,you will have to use your God given hands and 
make the "Nokedlies"(as us,everyday Hungarians call it) with a help of a 
knife and a cuttingboard and after couple of months(years?) experience 
you will make excellent NOKEDLIES,GALUSKAS(as probably you like to call it).

If you need anymore info relating to this or any other hungarian dish,I 
will be happy to assist not just you,but anybody!

REGIONAL NEWS

**DEATHS OF US PEACE ENVOYS STALL PEACE MOVES IN EX-YUGOSLAVIA**
  The bodies of three American peace envoys to the former
  Yugoslavia arrived yesterday in Washington.  Their deaths in
  an accident outside Sarajevo over the weekend have set back
  the U.S. peace initative, although leader of the delegation,
  Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, said talks
  will resume in a matter of days. In the latest flashpoint
  between Croats and Bosnian Serbs both sides have dug in for a
  fight in the hills above the Adriatic mediaeval city of
  Dubrovnik.   The United Nations says the Croatian army has 10
  thousand men and heavy armor in the hills above the city
  facing Bosnian Serbs in the town of Trebinje, nine miles
  inland.  Battle lines have been quiet for two days.


**ETHNIC HUNGARIANS IN SERBIA FEAR INFLUX OF KRAJINAN SERBS**
  Ethnic Hungarians in the Vojvodina region of Serbia are worried
  that Vojvodina's delicate ethnic balance will be upset by  an
  influx of Serb refugees from Croatia. More than 150,000 Serbs
  fled from Croatia's Krajina region after a Croatian offensive
  there earlier this month and 80,000 of them have been settled
  in the Vojvodina region which borders Hungary. The Democratic
  Community of Hungarians in Vojvodina, or DCHV, says the
  resettlement of the Serb refugees could violate international
  law if it changes the ethnic composition of areas where
  Hungarians are a majority.  The DCHV has sent a letter to
  Hungary's political parties, warning that attempts to settle
  armed Serbs in Hungarian areas could cause the unarmed
  Hungarians to flee. DCHV leader Andras Agostan says ten empty
  Hungarian homes in the Backa region of west Vojvidina were
  recently given to Serbs. He adds local authorities have been
  told to make lists of all empty houses. But Agostan says he
  hasn't heard of any forcible evictions.


**SMALLHOLDERS STORM AHEAD OF SOCIALISTS IN HUNGARIAN POLL**
  For the first time since their landslide victory in May of last
  year, Hungary's ruling Socialists are trailing an opposition
  party in an opinion poll.  The poll, by Marketing Centrum,
  shows that support among committed voters for the populist,
  right-of-center Smallholders' Party is running at 22 percent,
  as against 16 percent for the Socialists.  The Socialists'
  popularity has been dwindling for almost a year, but started
  falling faster after the passage of a tough austerity package
  in March. The Smallholders have been among the fiercest
  opponents of the austerity measures, especially cuts in social
  spending.  The party is also criticizing government efforts to
  privatize businesses and strongly opposes allowing foreigners
  to buy Hungarian farmland.  The poll shows support for the
  Socialists' junior coalition partner, the liberal Alliance of
  Free Democrats, is steady at 14 percent. The Democratic Forum
  and the Christian Democrats, the two mainstream conservative
  parties that ruled Hungary between 1990 and 1994, remain weak,
  with just 11 percent support.


BUSINESS NEWS

**MOL TO OPEN FIRST STATIONS OUTSIDE HUNGARY**
  The Hungarian oil and gas company MOL says it Is to open a gas
  station in Salonta, in Romania, on August 31st. This will be
  MOL's first station outside Hungary. The company also wants to
  open a gas station in Arad soon. Both  towns are near the
  Hungarian border and will be supplied with fuel from Hungary.

I think you're right, Robert!  It's been such a long time ago and I keep

Your conclusion about Tokes is far in excess of stupid and is a black

the "merits" you allude to? Have you been reading Romania Mare again ;->

but proves more than your slanderous post claiming Tokes to be
Securitate-trained.

But you know bugger all in this regard. He "was involved with the
Securitate in one way or another"; he was on the receiving end of a shit-
kicking by the Securitate. There is more substance to this fact, than
your slander.

>i may be wrong.

And you most certainly are.

>but you have not proven it either.

The obligation is not on me to prove. Justice expects that everyone is
innocent until proven guilty. I made no charges against Tokes. I did not
accuse Tokes of anything. I did not slander his reputation. However, in
jurisprudence, those who do, have to prove their case. In this instance
you have simply made a dirty accusation out of thin air and posted it
with the puffed chest of a bully kicking down sand castles built by
children. oooooooooo, what a tough guy!

>and neither iordache in one of his previous posts.  

Oh yes, point the finger at someone else; if everyone jumped off a ledge

their face of acne by rubbing shit on it, would you? This was your

That's your perogative, and the rest of us are glad of it.

You'd like that I bet. Request denied.
    
>oh yes, i almost forgot - gross insults like the one you used above 

An insult, a gross insult at that, is far preferential than a cruel
slander which you posted against Tokes.

>will only undermine your credibility, intelligence, and your veneer of 
>self-alledged creativity. 

My self-alleged creativity is self-alleged, but additionally, it has been
confirmed by a goodly number of substantial peers. Neither you nor anyone
else on SCR that I have encountered has the literary qualifications to
discount it. Pffft! to you. 

If you make groundless claims that Tokes=Securitate, then I'd worry about
your credibility. You had credibility with me until you made that
posting, but, of course, whether you had my credibility or not is of
absolutely no importance. What is important, is a man's good reputation,
Tokes did in Romania what spineless jellyfish like you in SF did not. I
salute him.

The protest against systemization in the international theatre was lead by
the Hungarians. They had what the Romanians were regretably lacking --
media savvy. They played up the "cultural genocide" aspect of it very well,
and received considerable attention. This was all well and good insofar as
focussing the world's attention on the program of systemization. What makes
this interesting is that when one focussed on the facts on the ground, it
was largely Romanian villages that were being bulldozed. It was more of a
"cultural genocide" against Romanians. This is not to say that Hungarian
cultural matters were not being bulldozed, but that the proportion was not
as great as the desecration against Romanian culture. It is regretable to
both communities that so much has been lost in Romania because the two
communities were/are all too often sniping each other and scoring petty
points, (a la cristian tomescaca) instead of commonly sniping the central
enemy -- state idiocy.

STRIKE ENDS IN MINSK. A strike by metro workers in Minsk was ended on 21
August when police arrested several union leaders and brought in train
drivers, protected by a police escort, to replace the strikers,
international agencies reported. A union official said masked police
arrested two union leaders and brought them to the prosecutor general
and then to the municipal court. Under Belarusian law the strike was
illegal. The head of the Independent Trade Unions, Syarhei Antonchyk,
said that police had detained 15 strikers and 60 were fired. President
Alyaksandr Lukashenka told Belarusian radio he had information that the
strikers, who said they had not been paid since June, were abetted by
Polish and American unions. He also accused the nationalist opposition
of having a hand in organizing the strikes. -- Ustina Markus, OMRI, Inc.

HUNGARY'S SOCIALISTS SURPASSED IN OPINION POLL. An opinion poll released
on 21 August by Marketing Centrum shows Hungary's ruling Socialists
trailing an opposition party for the first time since the Socialists'
landslide election victory in May 1994. The results of the poll,
published in Nepszava, show the Socialists running in second place with
16%; the right-of-center populist Smallholders placed first with 22%.
The Socialists' junior coalition partner, the liberal Alliance of Free
Democrats, finished third with 14%. The popularity of Prime Minister
Gyula Horn's Socialist Party has been dwindling for nearly a year, but
the slide accelerated following the passing of an austerity package in
March aimed at cutting the country's huge budget and current account
deficits. -- Jiri Pehe, OMRI, Inc.

TUDJMAN CALLS ON RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE SERBIA. Croatian President Franjo
Tudjman on 21 August urged Russian presidential envoy Aleksandr Zotov to
persuade Serbia to recognize Croatia. Hina said that Tudjman "underlined
the willingness of Croatia to settle the problem on the basis of mutual
recognition [between Belgrade and Zagreb] and urged Russia to use its
influence on Serbian authorities to this end. Failing that, Croatia will
feel obliged to resort to all means at its disposal to liberate the
remainder of its occupied territories" and to enable refugees to go
home. Vecernji list on 22 August asked whether some joint U.S.-Russian
peace proposal is in the offing, but Mlada fronta dnes on 18 August
warned Western powers against trying to rid themselves of the current
crisis by giving Moscow undue diplomatic influence in the Balkans. --

SERBIAN REFUGEE UPDATE. BETA on 21 August reported that the total number
of Krajina Serbs now in rump Yugoslavia is 154,079. Of that number,
approximately 83,000 are in Serbia's ethnically mixed Vojvodina
province, and about 3,000 in the predominantly ethnic Albanian province
of Kosovo. Montena-fax observes that some 1,115 have found refuge in
Montenegro. Belgrade officials continue to articulate concern for the
humanitarian needs of the refugees, and on 22 August AFP quotes national
bank Governor Dragoslav Avramovic as saying the best way to meet them is
"to reduce budgetary spending in general while promoting production and
boosting revenues." Meanwhile, on 21 August the BBC reported that the UN
has protested to Serbia over its having press-ganged about 1,000
"military-aged" Krajina male refugees last week. The men have been
forcibly deported to Bosnia. -- Stan Markotich, OMRI, Inc.

ROMANIAN MILITARY INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. Citing Rompres, Radio
Bucharest said on 21 August that the Romanian troops who participated in
the joint Hungarian-Romanian exercise in Hodmezovasarhely had returned
to the country. The exercise was held within the Partnership for Peace
Program and lasted 11 days. Hungarian Defense Minister Gyorgy Keleti
told the guests they should "bring home the message that Hungary is
capable and prepared to defend itself" and has the means to do so. In
other news, Romanian television reported on 21 August that the first
contingent of 105 peacekeeping troops has left for Angola. The Romanian
battalion will eventually be manned by a total of 750 soldiers. --

Back in the early seventies I tried a couple of times but very 
unsuccessfully. I had no idea what I was doing and didn't have the 
patience to work at it, so I decided to concentrate on drinking the 
stuff that I knew had already been well brewed. However, I might take 
it up again in my old age (God willing) or perhaps you could teach me?!

NB I saw your posting in alt.beer before I saw your one in this group
mentioning the fact that you're posting aroun..I couldn't resist a bit
of a joke...I hope you've got a good sense of humour

We have started to archive the

             http://mineral.umd.edu/soc.culture.magyar/

It is not really an archive, since we plan to show only 
the last several hundred articles.

The OMRI Digest and CET On-Line articles are going to be archived under

          http://mineral.umd.edu/soc.culture.magyar/archive/

[ The Hollosi articles are not going to be shown in the
  archive, since they are available at http://hix.mit.edu/ ]

My Grandfather came to America in approx. 1910! Our family name is 
Opre but some of the family think that the name may have been shortned
when they arrived in New York. However his brothers came over a few
years earlier and they went by Opre also. Does anyone know of the name
Opre existing today in Hungary or some other name that it may be
derived from. Any help will be appreciated.
