The memory of their love is also preserved by a pastry: in a Pest confectionery, Rigó Jancsi treated his beloved to this chocolatey, creamy dessert. As a clever marketing move, the confectioner who created it named the pastry after the famous violinist.

His calculation paid off, and the Rigójancsi achieved immense popularity both in Hungary and abroad. Although the Rigójancsi is rarely found in pastry shops today, we are well compensated by the delicacies of the downtown confectioneries: Damniczki Confectionery created the Ice Cream of the Year (2013) and the Cake of Hungary (2014), while Krém Confectionery crafted Székesfehérvár's Royal Dessert in 2022 and earned national acclaim for its ice creams in 2023.

The romantic tale inspired a French-Hungarian film in 1959 titled The Night of the Black Eyes (Fekete szem éjszakája), as well as Sándor Lestyán's popular book titled Gypsy Music (Cigánymuzsika). Even a British rock band formed in 2004 bears the name Rigó Jancsi, despite none of its members being of Hungarian origin. According to their website, they chose the Gypsy bandleader as their namesake because his love story carries a clear message for them: music conquers all.
