Two acclaimed and celebrated voices – Asturias and Neruda – meet, contrast texts, and engage in dialogue. Characteristics of "Comiendo en Hungría" include its playful and festive nature, its informality, heterogeneity, and hybridity. The text takes on the guise of a recipe book and a travel diary, but it is not entirely either. This creates a playful façade complemented by numerous autobiographical moments.
