Description of a national dish

• Goulash (Hungarian: gulyás) is a soup or stew of meat, noodles and vegetables (especially potato), seasoned with paprika and other spices.[1] Originating in Hungary, goulash is also a popular meal in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Free Territory of Trieste, Germany, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Latvia, the Netherlands, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Scandinavia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and some regions of Italy.

• It is one of Hungary's national dishes and a symbol of the country.

Gulyás• The name originates from the Hungarian gulyás [ˈɡujaːʃ] . The word

gulya means 'herd of cattle' in Hungarian, and gulyás means 'herdsman'.

• The word gulyás originally meant only "herdsman", but over time the dish became gulyáshús (goulash meat) – that is to say, a meat dish which was prepared by herdsmen. Today, gulyás refers both to the herdsmen, and to the soup. From the Middle Ages until well into the 19th century, the Puszta was the home of massive herds of cattle. They were driven, in their tens of thousands, to Europe’s biggest cattle markets in Moravia, Vienna, Nuremberg and Venice. And the herdsmen made sure that there was always one "sickly" creature that had to be slaughtered along the way, the flesh of which provided them with a magnificent gulyáshús.

Gulyás• In Hungarian cuisine, traditional gulyásleves (lit. "goulash soup"), bográcsgulyás,[

pörkölt, and paprikás were thick stews. … Garlic, tomato, caraway seed, bell pepper, and wine are optional. One may alternatively prepare these dishes as soups rather than stews. !!

• Goulash can be prepared from beef, veal, pork, or lamb. … Meat is cut into chunks, seasoned with salt, and then browned with sliced onion in a pot with oil or lard. Paprika is added, along with water or stock, and the goulash is left to simmer. After cooking a while, garlic, whole or ground caraway seed, or soup vegetables like carrot, parsnip, peppers (green or bell pepper), celery and a small tomato may be added. Other herbs and spices could also be added, especially chili pepper, bay leaf and thyme. Diced potatoes may be added, since they provide starch as they cook, which makes the goulash thicker and smoother. A small amount of white wine or wine vinegar may also be added near the end of cooking to round the taste. Goulash may be served with small egg noodles called csipetke.[10] The name Csipetke comes from pinching small, fingernail-sized bits out of the dough (csip =pinch) before adding them to the boiling soup.

Ingredients in desserts: zest, mincemeat = dried mixed fruit, not

• It is popular in parts of Central Europe, Eastern Europe and in Israel. It is commonly eaten at Christmas and Easter time. It is traditional in several cuisines, including the Hungarian cuisine (mákos bejgli[1]), Russian cuisine (bulochki s makom Russian: булочки с маком), Serbian cuisine (маковњача), Bosnian cuisine (makovnjača), Polish cuisine (makowiec), Czech cuisine (makový závin), Slovak cuisine (makovník), Lithuanian cuisine (aguonų vyniotinis), Croatian cuisine (makovnjača), Romanian cuisine (ruladă cu mac or ruladă cu nuci), and Austrian cuisine (Mohnkuchen or Mohnstriezel), Danish cuisine (wienerbrød (Vienna bread): [ˈʋiːˀnɔˌbʁœːˀð])and Latvain cuisine ("magonmaizite").

• Based on Wikipedia

Bejgli• Ingredients• The dough is made of flour, sugar, egg yolk, milk or sour cream and butter, and

yeast. The dough may be flavored with lemon or orange zest or rum. The poppy seed filling may contain ground poppy seeds, raisins, butter or milk, sugar or honey, rum and vanilla. Sometimes sugar is substituted for a tablespoon of apricot jam, which is one of the most popular jams used in the Hungarian cuisine. The walnut roll filling contains raisins, rum, butter or milk, lemon rind and chopped walnuts. This filling may be spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove or vanilla.

• The dough is at first quite heavy, stiff and dry, but with kneading and resting becomes very elastic and strong. It is rolled out into a large sheet, thick or thin depending on taste. … The filling is spread over the dough, which is then rolled into a long cylinder or log. Traditional recipes usually involve brushing the log with the egg white left over from the yolk used in the dough. Other recipes use different washes, or an icing added after baking. The unbaked log is gently transferred to a sheet pan, left to rise, then baked until golden brown.

Pálinka

• Pálinka is a traditional fruit brandy in the countries of the Carpathian Basin, known under several names, and invented in the Middle Ages. Under the 2008 "Hungarian Pálinka Law", only fruit spirits distilled from a mash of ripe fruits produced in Hungary, mashed, distilled, matured and bottled locally can be called pálinka. Fruit spirits made from concentrates, semi-dried or dried fruit cannot legally be called pálinka. The European Union also established exclusive trademark rights for the name. Additionally, the trademark to several specific regional varieties were given to Hungarian brands of Almapálinka, Barackpálinka, Szilvapálinka, and Törkölypálinka (made of apple, apricot, plum and pomace respectively).
