Never seen a bogrács? Visit the 14th International Game and Fish Cooking Competition (XIV. Nemzetközi Hal- és Vadételfőző Verseny) to see the traditional Hungarian cauldrons in action as enthusiastic groups gather to cook up wonderful stews over fires in the garden of the Literary Museum in Széphalom.
