What foods are famous in Hungary?

Answer 1

Hungarians eat a variety of foods. Pork is very popular, as smoked products, sausages, and cutlets. Seasonal vegetables are commonly consumed, as well as staples like potatoes, rice, and pasta. The cuisine is influenced by many other countries, including Turkish from the times of the Ottoman Empire's occupation of the area. Traditional dishes in Hungary include stuffed cabbages (sarma) and tarhonya, both relics of the Ottoman Empire. Many dishes are simple casseroles or stews that vary by the ingredients - i.e. using alternating layers of a vegetable with chopped meat and topped with sour cream. Lately Hungarians have been more health conscious and are eating more fowl like chicken and turkey. The Hungarians' use of paprika is possibly the singlemost traditional cooking mainstay. Traditional dishes are typically seasoned with paprika, onions and garlic. Some of the typical Hungarian dishes include goulash (gulyas), braised meats (porkolt), "langos" which is similar to fry bread and is the unofficial national street food in Hungary, various sausages like "hurka" and "kolbasz", stuffed cabbage, and "lecso" which is similar to ratatouille without the courgettes and eggplants (it is basically onions, tomatoes, peppers, and garlic) and regionally served with either rice, potatoes, and/or sausage cooked into it. Game (deer, boar, pheasant, etc.) is also very popular in Hungary, and their preparation of venison stew is phenomenal. Hungary produces many of its own cheeses and the cuisine is heavily influenced by the use of sour cream, cottage cheese, kefir, etc.

Answer 2

Hungarians' favorite food would probably be Lángos - it is available on every corner, every bus/rail stop, public park, flea market, etc. It can be served a variety of ways and is a distant cousin of Italian "foccacia". Ask any Hungarian how they prefer to eat their Lángos or where the best ones are served and be prepared to hear an impassioned response!

Answer 3

Lamb soup, and for seconds, roast lamb with potatoes, red cabbage and any other side dish. I will add: traditionally, lamb, ham, and eggs are served for Easter. The ham and eggs are usually served boiled, and the ham is eaten with horseradish sauce. Many elaborate desserts are also served as part of the Easter meal - baked braided sweet breads and the like.

Answer 4

The main food which springs to my mind would be Hungarian Goulash. Its a sort of beef stew dish. The beef is stewed in a tomato sauce which is slightly spicey. Traditionally its eaten with bread and butter (that is an uncut loaf such as a tiger or hedgehog loaf) and has a dollop of sour cream on the top of the goulash for decoration and flavour.
