Hungary is a country whose contributions to the gastronomic world punch way above the country’s small size. The food that is served in restaurants throughout the country, from Budapest to small villages, is absolutely fantastic.
These are four Hungarian dishes that will definitely make your mouth water.
Chicken Paprikash
Chicken paprikash is a creamy, paprika-heavy dish that is often served with Hungarian noodles or dumplings. It’s the ultimate comfort food from Hungary and is unbelievably good.
Goulash
Different countries, especially in Central Europe, have their own versions of goulash, but for my money, Hungary’s is the best. Beef, potatoes, carrots, and once again, paprikash, make the base for this yummy stew.
Stuffed Cabbage
If you travel to Hungary, you will inevitably see stuffed cabbage on restaurant menus. Stuffed with meat and rice and topped with sour cream, these are the perfect antidote to a cold Hungarian winter day.
Chimney Cake
Have a sweet tooth? No worries, as Hungary has you covered with this chimney cake, which is coated with cinnamon sugar after being roasted over charcoal outdoors. It’s addictive and extremely tasty.
