Clue/Question:  The new restaurant in Budapest did well, thanks to all the   – – –

Answer:  “HUNGARY“ PEOPLE

(Happy Monday after Mother’s Day, everybody!  A nice long answer, on a Monday.  No new clue words, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We have seen “nuygo” before.  It took me a few looks to see “herbal”, so I’d say that was the best jumble.  The answer letter layout did not give anything away.  If you are not up on world geography, I can see how this might have taken some time to solve.  Fine restaurant scene.  The only Hungarian dish that I could think of was goulash.  I guess I need to travel more.  Be well and do good, friends.  I hope all the ladies had a nice Mother’s Day!)   —  YUR
