Masquarade flavoured with milk loaf and mulled wine

Every year lots of mysterious animals swarm in the streets of Mohács. These animals are called Buso. They've got thick fur with big bells on their waist. Their face is similar to the evil's face and it is red from the victims' blood. They've got sharp, enormous tooth and a big mouth to be able to eat people. Their slogan is "offence is teh best form of defence". At first they spit water on the citizens and tourists then sprinkle flour or soot on their enemies. Finally, buso make people drink a cayenne pepper flavoured mulled wine. These victims will be next year members of the Buso-society.


When the sun goes down, it's time to make piece and the Buso light the bonfire placed in the middle of the Széchenyi square. Buso, tourists and citizens drink red or white mulled wine, eat milk loaf flavoured with honey, cinnamon or cocoa or other fine things. Then everybody dance around the fire until it burns down. Some people are so brave that they turn somersaults on the live coal. You will enjoy it even if you've seen it several times. And you really must try that cayenne flavoured mulled wine, it's very fine!
