I "cheated" and looked up "Hungarian desserts" and guessed :-) We always had Stollen and the Lebkuchen cookies which I don't care for, for Christmas, as my stepmother was in Germany just after the War for several years so I was fed Rouladin, Wienerschnitzel, Hungarian Goulash (with caraway seeds; I hate caraway seeds!) and other European dishes in my Maryland suburb as a child of 5. Very confusing as my father, after my mother died served us lots of good old American ground beef as in "More More" which was ground beef with canned corn, tomatoes, etc. whatever one had in the pantry all mixed together so it could feed 5 people quick and easily :-) My stepmother though was a gourmet cook so I probably was traumatized by food in that way, LOL.

Still, it's too sad that you wanted to give your father something and your brother is so anxious and stressed that he can't see that he's hurting you :-(
