文化的背景

Tejföl is so essential that Hungarians often take it with them when moving abroad. The idiom reflects its status as the 'ultimate' food. In many parts of Transylvania, 'tejfel' is still the everyday word, not just an idiomatic one. Using it makes you sound very authentic. During the 20th century, idioms like this were used to subtly complain about the 'paradise' promised by the government. The idiom comes from a time when people made their own dairy. It reflects a deep connection to the process of food production.
