Wash the leg of veal thoroughly in cold water, and dry with a clean cloth. Clean the veal kidneys also, and season with salt, pepper, grated nutmeg and mint according to taste, and roll them into thin slices of bacon. Using a sharp knife cut a pocket in the leg of veal to receive the kidneys rolled into bacon. Roast the veal on both sides in hot lard, then add the wine, and roast to brown in the oven. When ready cut into thin slices and serve with mixed vegetables. Stuffed leg of goose requires a little more work, is a magnificient dish. Ingredients (also for five): about 1,500 grammes leg of goose, 50 grammes lard, 300 grammes pork (spare rib, for instance), 150 grammes of parsnips and a similar quantity of carrots, 50 grammes of onions, 1 clove of garlic, 0.1 I cream, 0.15 1 dry white wine, 20 grammes tomato concentrate, 1 bay leaf, 20 grammes flour, 10 grammes sweet red pepper, white pepper and salt. Mince the pork and flavour with salt, pepper, crushed garlic and red pepper, and work together with half of the cream. Cutting from the inside, take the bones out of the goose legs to make room for the stuffing. When stuffed, roll up the legs of goose and sew them up with white cotton. Sprinkled with salt and pepper, the legs of goose are then placed in an ovenproof dish, basted with melted lard, and roasted half-tender in a moderately hot (about ICO C°) oven, basting from time to time.

Braise for a few more minutes under a lid, then take out the meat, and pull out the cotton. Add further seasoning to the sauce, if necessary, then pour it off. Pour the sauce on the meat when serving it, preferably with potato chips. Tamás Rohonyi is one of the organizing secretaries of FOCA, the association of manufacturers and designers of Formula 1 racing cars. He organizes currently the Grand Prix events in Brazil, the United States and Portugal, and the 1986 race in Hungary is also his responsibility. The 47 years old advertising man, a resident of Brazil was born in Budapest. He left, the country with his family early in 1957. After taking his degree in engineering in England he obtained a position as coachwork designer of Rolls Royce. In the mid-sixties he moved to Brazil to head the advertising department of the Good-Year tyre company’s Sao Paolo office. Later he opened his own advertising agency, and as a result became involved with Formula 1 racing. I interviewed him when he was on a visit to Budapest. “I heard that you were instrumental, to use an understatement, in Hungary’s getting the right to stage one of the Grand Prix events for five years, instead of some other country.” “In that form it may be oversimplified, for reality is far more complicated than that. We should like to make Formula 1 a sport that spans the whole world, and to that end the involvement of the socialist countries is necessary. T discussed this several times with Bernie Eccleston. He was of the opinion that we should have to approach Moscow. Then we talked to the president of the Moscow Automobile Club, a great charmer but advanced in years. Unfortunately, chance interfered, the gentleman died unexpectedly, and wo left Moscow without clinching the deal. That was when I asked on the way home: “Bernie, why aren't we going to Budapest ?” He said: “You being Hungarian is not sufficient reason.” But I continued to an ue: Budapest is a beautiful city, its hotels are adequate, and the standard of television is high . . . and so on. He was still hesitant: 1 know Yugoslavia, but do not know Hungary. “Well, it’ssimple,” I replied “get to know it.” Within a few days time we were on the way to Budapest. Fortunately, the Indian Summer was simply wonderful there. Bernie’s mind works fast. In the morning he looked down from the Castle of Buda to the panorama of Pest, in the afternoon he visited the Castle of Vajdahunyad, he dined with a government minister that evening, and on the way back to the hotel he told me: You are right. That was my role, and after that only as great as anybody else’s starting with Mihály Térjék, a Hungarian diplomatist in Sao Paulo, who started our negotiations with the official Hungarian bodies, and ending with the workmen, who are now building the racetrack.” “A quick decision and a delayed realization. Is that your opinion also?” “The realization of an idea always takes time, it is always a sort of an obstacle race.” “Let’s begin with the first hurdle. You recommended the Városliget (City Park).” “Yes, that would have been a beautiful venue, similar in standard to that of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. Unfortunately, the Hungarian authorities could not allow that for environment protection reasons. It is their business, and we cannot argue with that, but we are sorry. The turmoil, the petrol fumes lasting for a week each year would not have been a disadvantage comparable with the value that 700 million people would > have seen the most beautiful part of Budapest for hours. There was an immense advertising opportunity for Hungary in that. Because how much, how many million dollars would the television stations of America charge for showing Budapest even for only ten minutes?" “You are at home in the world of Formula 1 racing. How do you see it from the inside?” “I see it as clock-work timing, a precision instrument, therefore perhaps a little colder than many would think. All the people here are sober professionals from the mechanics to the racing drivers. The night before the race may be the exception. Then there is music and talking.” “What do you think is the role of the factory, the course, and the negotiating table in who will be the world champion." “The significance of the workshop and the course may be equal. In some teams the designer counts for more than the driver. The negotiating table plays no role here. The United States is an immense market for us, therefore an American wor'.d champion would mean a lot. But so far things never jelled that way, simply because they did not produce a talent, such as Niki Lauda.” “Now, for five years Hungary will be part of the Formula 1 circus. Do you consider it possible that in time a Hungarian driver may take part in the race?" “If the question were posed in any other county 1 would hesitate with the answer. But knowing the talent and enthusiasm of our nation I can only answer in the affirmative. Naturally, a kind of gradual climb will have to be done for that, and you will also need clever management.” “You looked over the race course being constructed in the environs of Budapest, and have an up-to-date knowledge of the situation of the preliminary work. Do you think everything will be ready on time?” “We never had a moment’s doubt about that. I am convinced that the green light will be switched on at 2.30 p. m. on the 10th of August 1986, and the Budapest Grand Prix will be under starter’s orders.” ISTVÁN POKORNY Gusztáv Bebes dies at the age of SO Gusztáv Sebes, the manager of the Golden Eleven of Hungarian football died soon after his eightieth birthday. In his time Sebes himself also played for Hungary, then took control of the Hungarian eleven between April 10 1949 and June 9 1956. On the first of these dates Hungar; played Czechoslovakia in Prague, and on the second Portugal in Lisbon. Between the two Hungary won 49 time, drew 11 times and was defeated only 6 times. These figures themselves indicate why Hungary was considered top at the time. A gold Medal at Olympic games, two victories over England, and second place at a football world championship, where defeat in the final by West Germany was the greatest disappointment in Sebes’s career. On the occasion of his 80th birthday a few weeks before his death, Sebes received good wishes from all over the world, and particularly warm greetings in Hungary from his old club MTK as well as many noted personalities of Hungarian sports life. The passing of this great sportsman is now mourned by all. Fairest and best prizes of 1985 A committee awarded a prize for sportsmanship to the men’s volley ball team of Budapest Honvéd SC for not accepting an official decision awarding them the points just because the documentat ions of opponents were mislaid and could not be presented before the game. Árpád Koitay and Péter Szabó, tennis players of Kőszeg received a fairness prize because they withdrew in a county championship in favour of a severely injured opponent. International chess grandmasters András Adorján and József Pintér received fairness prizes, because they did not accept wins automatically registered in their favour, and played against opponents who could not turn up at the time originally scheduled for their meeting. Five other sportsmen were also awarded fairness prizes. Double Hungarian success at the sabrefencing W orld Oup At the sabre-fencing World Cup held in the Budapest Sports Hall nearly two hundred fencers from 18 countries took part. György Nébald, alone among the Hungarians, made the finals, with three Soviet, two Polish and one French and one Italian fencer. In the bout that decided the first place Nébald fenced against the Soviet Olympic and world champion, Krovopuskov, and won 10:8 after a great fight. He was awarded the Elektromodul-Hungaria Cup. The world cup produced a further Hungarian success. An invention by József Kiss, an electric sabre-fencing scorer, was used for the first time. The device worked perfectly right through the series, showing that sabre-fencing could be mechanized just as foil and epée fencing. It is to bo hoped that the new device will eliminate uncertainties and disputes. 31
