“1872, Mór Jókai, Az arany ember (Timar’s Two Worlds), part 1, chapter 7”
This popcorn is a very popular food here in Hungary, and I don’t think anyone here needs to be told at length what it is like; but at the New York World’s Fair a few years ago, a gold medal was awarded to the Yankee who discovered popcorn making in America. These Americans will invent anything! Blessed good food. A man can eat a very good deal of it without ever getting full; for by the time he has eaten enough of it, he is hungry again.
