• WARNING (US travelers): téliszalámi is BANNED from entry into the US — even sealed. Eat it in Hungary or gift it before flying; undeclared meat risks $10,000 fines
• India: animal-origin foods need sanitary permits — effectively also a no
• UK/most non-EU Asia also restrict pork; EU residents can carry it home freely
• Slow-ripened with noble mold since 1869 in Szeged; the 'winter' name comes from cold-months-only original production
• Perfect for the trip itself: a stick + Kalocsa paprika + market bread is the classic picnic
