Hungarian Stores in Reading?
I recently returned from a holiday in Hungary and, unfortunately, I didn’t manage to grab a few items before leaving. I’d rather avoid airport prices, so I’m hoping to find what I’m looking for here in Reading.
I’m particularly interested in picking up Tokaji wine, peach pálinka, Hungarian mayonnaise, and a few other goodies.
Does anyone know of any Hungarian stores in Reading that sell food and drink products from Hungary? I would really appreciate any recommendations!
Welcome back! I totally understand the struggle of wanting to bring a taste of Hungary home without breaking the bank. While I’m not sure if there are any specific Hungarian stores in Reading, you might want to check out some local international grocery stores or delis, as they often carry a variety of Eastern European products.
One place to try is the Reading Market, as they typically have a good selection of international foods. Additionally, some larger supermarkets may have a section for international foods where you might find Tokaji wine or palinka. If you’re looking specifically for Hungarian mayo, you might have better luck with specialty online retailers or through delivery services that focus on international foods.
Also, don’t forget to check if there are any Hungarian or Eastern European communities in the area, as they might know of local shops that aren’t widely advertised. Good luck, and I hope you find everything you’re looking for!
