And not one of them contains beets. :P
Of the list, popular and common in Austria are:
1. Langos (usually sold on markets, fairs and festivals from stalls).
2. Goulash (well, duh)
3. Palacsinta - Called Palatschinken in Austria, come either sweet, savory, and sometimes deep fried (usually filled with meat in that case)
13. Paprikás Csirke - Paprika chicken (Paprikahendl in Austria, mentioned in Bram Stoker's Dracula, where Harker makes a note to get the recipe for Mina)
14. Stuffed peppers are a popular, cheap, home made dish
15. Túrós Csusza - looks very similar to Austrian Kässpätzle, though I think Austrians use a different cheese
16. Kifli (Kipferl in Austria)
17. Rántott Sajt - deep fried Emmentaler is pretty popular, served with either a sweet cranberry jam or sauce tartar.
28. Kakaós Csiga (chocolate snail) - Schnecke (= snail) in Austria, comes as chocolate, (ground) nuts or poppyseed
29. Hurka & Kolbász (sausages) - the latter is popular as Klobasse
30. Lecsó (vegetable stew) - Letscho here, often sold in a glass and a popular quick and easy sauce/side dish
33. Paprika - duh
Vienna does collect all the best dishes from the old Habsburg Empire. :P
Goulash is great. So nostalgic....
Never had the others that I know of. Except paprika, its Hungarian? :huh:
Hell of a lot of dough, cheese, cream, meat and pastry in that cuisine.................very tasty :cool:
Ugly pictures of some food, but a realistic list on everyday eating habits I guess (no fried chicken though!) And most food on the list are bashed by some people as "masterpieces" of the communist era cuisine, which was concentrating on making passable food out of low quality ingredients.
But there are downright ridiculous entries like "kifli". I mean, most of it which you can buy at shops and bakeries are such a low quality stuff that I don't understand how it can make any kind of positive list.
I really like fried cheese but presenting it as some unique culinary invention is laughable. You take a bit of cheese. You fry it. Surely Hungarians are not the only ones who have figured that weird and complicated recipe out.
We've made #2 a few times and #15 fairly often.

Based on what I have seen and heard, "goulash" in America is "throw some leftover shit together and boil them". So you probably have not, in fact, eaten goulash*
*I am no particular fan of proper goulash either, but it is decent food, when made properly. Did you know it is actually a soup?
Wrong. We made it from a Hungarian recipe translated into English. :sleep:
Yeah, the soup-goulash is usually sold as "Gulaschsuppe".
"Normal" Gulasch here would be cubes of beef in a brown sauce with paprika. Serve with either potatoes or noodles. Variations would be Schwammerlgulasch (add mushrooms), Erdäpfelgulasch (add potatoes), Würstlgulasch (replace beef with wiener sausage) or Szegediner Gulasch (add Sauerkraut).

This would be the variety of goulash that I've made, yeah. I would say the sauce was more reddish than brown though due to the paprika.

I haven't eaten or seen a brown sauce version of it in Hungary. Goulash (Gulyas) is a soup.

That's common all over the Danube basin, when I visited Serbia lots of traditional dishes were like that, very hearty. Plus lots of grilled meat. I still wonder how the girls managed to stay so thin.

Ah, Goulash...
One of the mainstays of school meals at my school.
Perhaps not a favoured reminiscence as the only decent things my school ever managed to cook were steak and kidney pie and sultana sponge pudding - both of which were among the best I've ever had, strangely enough.
Shame about everything else, including the "goulash", though. :(

Interesting trip report from one of my favourite food bloggers. This pork sounds damn fine
QuoteAnd so to Mangalitza pork. This has suddenly started to pop up in the UK (at least in London) but trust me, if you've got Hungarian friends, you've been hearing about these pigs ever since you met them. This is certainly some of the best pork I've ever eaten and we all know I have many points of reference. The fat is the kind of thing you want to wrap around everything you eat and I guess it wraps itself rather effectively around the Hungarians during harsh winters. It's wonderful once smoked (again the Hungarian friend gifted a slab) and wow, just WOW. See ya later, Italian lardo. I also had a hulking great piece of shoulder in a restaurant called in Budapest which I will be thinking about, dreaming about, writing songs about perhaps. It fell apart to reveal crevices of silky fat. As if not content with tasting incredible, the pigs look pretty fly too – check out those piggy afros. I believe you'll shortly be able to order this precious meat from Turner and George and from the menu of Pitt Cue Co. in Soho.

I never saw #10 Meggyleves (sour cherry soup) when I was in Budapest. I did have a similar soup made with strawberries. When I lived in Michigan I had some coworkers who were from Romania. They were delighted to fin you can get fresh sour cherries there. They said that sour cherries are used extensively in Romanian cooking, but aren't easy to find outside their home country.
