If you have ever met someone Hungarian, then it is highly probable that the impression they gave you is that p\u00e1linka is good for everything: before eating, for better digestion, to prevent illnesses, if you are sick, to live longer, to cheer up.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

D\u00edv\u00e1ny<\/a>\u00a0has collected everything you need to know about the positive benefits of quality p\u00e1linka on your health and how to know if the p\u00e1linka you are drinking is top-notch.<\/p>\n

According to popular legend, the origins of the p\u00e1linka can be traced back to the 13th<\/sup>-14th<\/sup>\u00a0century, more precisely to Charles I of Hungary and Queen Elizabeth. It is said that while they were on their way to Naples, the queen had fallen so ill, that they had to return to Hungary. All sorts of medicine were employed to improve the queen\u2019s state, but only one did the job: an alcohol and rosemary infused concoction, which was named\u00a0aqua vitae<\/em>(water of life). Regarding the Hungarian jolly-joker drink\u2019s name, D\u00edv\u00e1ny writes that the word \u2018p\u00e1linka\u2019 did not appear until the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0century, and its origins are the Slovak word \u2018palenka\u2019.<\/p>\n

Good or bad \u2013 a guide<\/h2>\n

There are those who claim that good p\u00e1linka is the one that leaves your throat with such a burn that despair runs through your joints, but in reality, this is not what makes the drink actually good. Such strong p\u00e1linka\u2019s will only knock you out real quick, and the next day you will wake up with such a hangover that makes you say \u2018I swear I will never, ever drink again\u2019. Here is what an expert, Attila Fabulya (head taster at Gyulai P\u00e1linka Manufakt\u00fara Kft.), has to say about this:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cP\u00e1linkas that leave you with a pungent, stinging and burning sensation<\/a>\u00a0will do only one thing: the chemicals in them are so hard to digest that your body will be fighting a headache and sickness even if you drank enough water.<\/p>\n

If you turn to good quality p\u00e1linka, with sufficient water intake while drinking, there is a high chance that you will not feel sick on the next day\u201d.<\/p>\n

What this means is that dehydration is still an issue even if you drink good quality p\u00e1linka, so make sure that you drink enough water, not just spritz or beer. But when push comes to shove, dehydration is not the major issue with bad p\u00e1linka: it is the badly brewed chemicals that give you a throbbing headache and sickness.<\/p>\n

Boosts your appetite \u2013 a myth or truth?<\/h2>\n

Hungarians often drink or encourage you to drink a shot of p\u00e1linka before major meals, but p\u00e1linka as an aperitive might not be the best idea. Fabuly explains that what you feel after one or two shots of p\u00e1linka is not hunger, but it is the alcohol burning your stomach, so your organism will want to help this immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn western cultures, spirits are drunk after a meal, since alcohol boosts digestion. I would suggest drinking p\u00e1linka in the same fashion: after eating\u201d<\/p>\n

A cure-all or not?<\/h2>\n

A piece of advice from our grandparents that we often heard growing up in Hungarian communities is that you should bring p\u00e1linka with you on trips since if you get infected with something, the alcoholic drink will cure your stomach \u2013 but it also works to prevent illnesses, thanks to its antiseptic qualities. This is why it is also suggested to gulp down p\u00e1linka if your throat is sore or if you feel like you are coming down with something.<\/p>\n

However, this is not the case in reality. Alcohol is antiseptic indeed, but only above 70 degrees. The strongest p\u00e1linka is usually around 60 degrees, which is not strong enough to possess antiseptic qualities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was taken for centuries as a cure-all potion, and many still believe in this, but this has never been proven medically. On the contrary, it was proved not to help at all\u201d \u2013 weighs in Fabuly.<\/p>\n

Before you set out to make 70 degrees plus p\u00e1linka, you must know that it brings more pain than pleasure to your taste buds and throat. You will no longer be able to taste the fruit,\u00a0and it will be so strong that your organs will be thrown off balance, so you should rather not try distilling or drinking such p\u00e1linka.<\/p>\n

If you would like to be creative with p\u00e1linka or are bored of simply drinking it, you can try\u00a0using it as a cocktail base<\/a>, or you can actually\u00a0bake some heavenly cakes with it<\/a>, the limit does not exist.<\/p>\n

According to popular legend, the origins of the p\u00e1linka can be traced back to the 13th-14th\u00a0century, more precisely to Charles I of Hungary and Queen Elizabeth. It is said that while they were on their way to Naples, the queen had fallen so ill, that they had to return to Hungary. All sorts of medicine were employed to improve the queen\u2019s state, but only one did the job: an alcohol and rosemary infused concoction, which was named\u00a0aqua vitae(water of life). Regarding the Hungarian jolly-joker drink\u2019s name, D\u00edv\u00e1ny writes that the word \u2018p\u00e1linka\u2019 did not appear until the 17th\u00a0century, and its origins are the Slovak word \u2018palenka\u2019. Good or bad \u2013 a guide There are those who claim that good p\u00e1linka is the one that leaves your throat with such a burn that despair runs through your joints, but in reality, this is not what makes the drink actually good. Such strong p\u00e1linka\u2019s will only knock you out real quick, and the next day you will wake up with such a hangover that makes you say \u2018I swear I will never, ever drink again\u2019. Here is what an expert, Attila Fabulya (head taster at Gyulai P\u00e1linka Manufakt\u00fara Kft.), has to say about this: \u201cP\u00e1linkas that leave you with a pungent, stinging and burning sensation\u00a0will do only one thing: the chemicals in them are so hard to digest that your body will be fighting a headache and sickness even if you drank enough water. If you turn to good quality p\u00e1linka, with sufficient water intake while drinking, there is a high chance that you will not feel sick on the next day\u201d. Photo: www.memegenerator.net What this means is that dehydration is still an issue even if you drink good quality p\u00e1linka, so make sure that you drink enough water, not just spritz or beer. But when push comes to shove, dehydration is not the major issue with bad p\u00e1linka: it is the badly brewed chemicals that give you a throbbing headache and sickness. Boosts your appetite \u2013 a myth or truth? Hungarians often drink or encourage you to drink a shot of p\u00e1linka before major meals, but p\u00e1linka as an aperitive might not be the best idea. Fabuly explains that what you feel after one or two shots of p\u00e1linka is not hunger, but it is the alcohol burning your stomach, so your organism will want to help this immediately. \u201cIn western cultures, spirits are drunk after a meal, since alcohol boosts digestion. I would suggest drinking p\u00e1linka in the same fashion: after eating\u201d A cure-all or not? A piece of advice from our grandparents that we often heard growing up in Hungarian communities is that you should bring p\u00e1linka with you on trips since if you get infected with something, the alcoholic drink will cure your stomach \u2013 but it also works to prevent illnesses, thanks to its antiseptic qualities. This is why it is also suggested to gulp down p\u00e1linka if your throat is sore or if you feel like you are coming down with something. However, this is not the case in reality. Alcohol is antiseptic indeed, but only above 70 degrees. The strongest p\u00e1linka is usually around 60 degrees, which is not strong enough to possess antiseptic qualities. \u201cIt was taken for centuries as a cure-all potion, and many still believe in this, but this has never been proven medically. On the contrary, it was proved not to help at all\u201d \u2013 weighs in Fabuly. Before you set out to make 70 degrees plus p\u00e1linka, you must know that it brings more pain than pleasure to your taste buds and throat. You will no longer be able to taste the fruit,\u00a0and it will be so strong that your organs will be thrown off balance, so you should rather not try distilling or drinking such p\u00e1linka. If you would like to be creative with p\u00e1linka or are bored of simply drinking it, you can try\u00a0using it as a cocktail base, or you can actually\u00a0bake some heavenly cakes with it, the limit does not exist. featured image: agroinform.com Source:\u00a0divany.hu
