HUngarian Food industry is represented solely in Qatar by some kind of hard cheese .
It is called Hajdu cheese .Lately they came out with some new version : smoked one ,with herbs , with chili flavour .They are quite good and affordable ones .
I discovered also BIHAR cheese . It is something similar to Hajdu .BIHAR is the name of a county in Hungary. The same name goes for a state in India . These are the mysteries about us ,Hungarians and our origins ...
I was shocked to discover that the Slovaks came out with a copy of Hajdu .It is called :Hajji .Even they use our tricolor for the design .
All in all I wish there were more Hungarian food products here .When buying food here - only i understand how great is our food at home and how lucky we are to have them there .
I miss the paprika of Kalocsa , tasty fruitful jams of Nagykoros , the white cheese with no flavour (turo) .The frozen dumplings with plum , the chestnut puree .
I do not list Pick salami here because unfortunately it has not got "halal" version .

hi from lebanon, every time i go to the supermarket i ask them : is this 'bihar' kashkaval cheese the same one as the old 'hajdu bihar' they tell me yes it is, but the manufacturers changed the name .
But the taste is different , i vividly remember that 'hajdu bihar' were more rich in flavour.... So if ur a hungarian tell what's the difference ?
NO Hajji is not the same !Luckily in Qatar we got Hajdu again -not only the cow cheese but the ewe cheese as well .I am sorry that you have not it in your country .Last year they were selling smoked Hajdu and spicy Hajdu as well .this year I find only the plain version - nut it is good .
thx , u know i wrote my first comment on a haste , i didn't make it clear what i wanted to ask.
I wanna know if this 'bihar' is the same as ' hajdu bihar ' .
Cos i remember like 10 years ago , the name was ' hajdu bihar ' , now its only 'bihar' , so are these the same ?
No Hajdu cheese is made by Korostej company but Bihar is by another one -but i could not find out which one .
thx
So i found out that Bihar is not a Hungarian company but a Lebanese one !
Sorry for the wrong information but I believed that it is Hungarian because Bihar is a county's name in Hungary
