Hungary is a tiny European country whose people are unique in their language and culture. This is what led to the famous reply by Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi whether he believed in the existence of extraterrestrials. Fermi replied – They are among us, but they call themselves Hungarians . Hungary is divided into four main regions : Eger-Tokaj, the wine region, Puszta, Budapest the capital region, and finally Pannonia. The Pannnonia region contains the largest fresh water lake of Central Europe, the Balaton.

On the shores of this huge lake is a small town called Balatonlelle. This is a well kept litle town which is equipped with all modern amenities yet preserving the history and heritage of the city and the country. Apart from the chief attraction of the country of Hungary, which is the famous Hungarian hospitality, this particular town has its own attraction, the lake Balaton.

As proof of its modernity, this quaint little town also runs its pretty impressive website www.balatonlelle.hu, which is available in as many as 5 languages, including English. It is a very well maintained website which would be of help not only to residents but also to tourists who want to know more about the place. The first thing you must check out is the photogallery which has 3D images of all major attractions of Balatonlelle. It also has legal notices, street maps, lists of chemists, railway and shipping schedules on the site. The mayor s office seems to be an active participant of this website and also the agency that maintains it, because a list of current projects being undertaken by the mayor is also listed here.

The Hungarian version of this site lists the town s accomodations under the heading Balatonlelle Szallashellyek. This link takes one to a separate accomodation website where people who are looking for accomodation at Balatonlelle, as well as people who are looking to give out their places for accomodation, can look for business. The website invites landlords to give details of the accomodation (szallashelyek) facilities that are available with them, and offers them tax sops also. It is amply clear to tourists that accomodation in Balatonlelle is one of the last things they would need to worry about when they come here. The site also has a direct link to the main website of the city of Balatonlelle. Apart from the above, there is also a link to the various cultural programs that are available in the city.

All in all, a website that is as well maintained as the city itself.

Food and nutrition is the basic necessity of human life. It is something for which a person works day and night. A food item should possess certain qualities like it should give a tang to the tongue along with nutrients to the body. People often fear obesity and avoid chicken and meat. Venison is being consumed from the stone age when hunting was one of the major source of food. It is a wonderful cuisine which is delicious as well as healthy with low fat content. It is usually derived from wild or farm-reared deer. It has a very fine texture which does half the work of a good presentation of the dish.

When it comes to the nutrition value, venison is an excellent source of protein and also rich in iron. Thus, it helps in overcoming the iron deficiency in menstruating or lactating women and in growing children. Iron is a major constituent of hemoglobin which helps oxygen to be transported to all parts of the body via blood. The most wonderful part is that its low fat content makes it good enough for consumption by calorie conscious people. At the same time, it helps in building muscle fibres. It is also a very good source of Vitamin-B, minerals, carbohydrates, sodium, amino acids and more.

Venison can be eaten in many forms viz. steaks, roasts, sausages, tournedos and minced meats. Many people prefer it over beef due to its comparatively lower price. Its increasing demand has led rise in deerfarms. Like other meats, it is also perishable and is kept under low temperature. Fresh and frozen venison is readily available in supermarkets. A few tips can be followed while selecting fresh meat; look for the meat which have darker, finely grained and whiter flesh as it has more exotic flavours. However, excessive intake can cause health problems too because of a substance called purine. Excess accumulation of purine leads to accumulation of uric acid in the body. Accumulated uric acid leads to formation of stone in kidney. Thus, excess intake of purine containing foods is not advisable.

Venison makes a wonderful meal and is remarkably easy to prepare. Whether a family dinner, or a gathering of friends, every special occasion can be made more special with this meal. Make it a part of your festive meal and it will soon make a place in the list of your favourite cuisines.
