Pone festival in Göcsej 2025 Zalaegerszeg

It is a true veteran festival, the Pone Festival in Göcsej returns for the 29th time. If it might not sound familiar, pone is a simple, peasant dish, a relatively thin, mixed dough, for which we use simple ingredients found in the pantry. It is best known in the western part of the country, in Vas, Zala and Somogy counties, also known as cornflour pudding or milk pie. Traditionally, it is baked in cookstove until golden brown, and the top is drizzled with plum jam, but there are each house has its own customs. One thing is sure, on 9th June we can taste this specialty in Zalaegerszeg.
