Hungarian food
Traditional Hungarian dishes are based on meat, seasonal vegetables, fruits,
fresh bread, dairy products and cheese.

Hungarian cuisine is mostly Central European, with some elements from Eastern
Europe such as poppy seed, the popularity of kefir and quark (cottage cheese).
Paprika, a quintessential spice and pepper, is often associated with Hungary and
used prominently in many dishes.
Chicken, pork and beef are very common, while turkey, duck, lamb, fish and
game meat are also eaten but not as frequently. The country is also famous for
the high quality and relatively inexpensive salamis and sausages it produces
primarily from pork, but also poultry, beef, etc.

Typical Hungarian foods are:

 Goulash
 Pancake Hortobágy style (filled with minced meat)
 Chicken paprikash with homemade pasta (called nokedli)
 Veal stew
 Stuffed cabbage
 Vegetable sauces, layered potatoes and the Hungarian version of
ratatouille

The Hungarian ratatouille is not a vegetarian food like in France, since this
variant contains different sorts of bacon, sausages, or meat.

Soups (meat, bean, fruit, tomato, vegetable, etc.) are very popular in Hungary;
they are served as a starter at lunchtime.

Bread is perhaps the most important and basic part of the Hungarian diet. It’s
consumed with other meals as a side dish.

For Christmas: Hungarians have fish soup. Other dishes may be served as well,
such as roast goose, turkey or duck or stuffed cabbage. At the end of the feast,
pastry rolls filled with walnut or poppy seed (called “bejgli”) are served as
desserts. Different kinds of candies and sweets decorate the Christmas tree (such
as “szaloncukor”), and everyone picks and eats them directly from the tree.
New Year’s Eve (Szilveszter): Hungarians traditionally celebrate the New Year
with boiled sausages and lentil soup.

New Year’s Day: it is common to eat either lentil soup or meaty sauerkraut
soup, said to cure hangovers. Roast pork is the main dish accompanied by
cabbage.

Easter meals have a few specialties like boiled ham and hard-boiled eggs
accompanied by a sort of soft bread-like sweet cake (called “kalács”) offered to
the “sprinkles”, men and boys coming to spray perfume on the women and girls,
a folk costume, which is preserved, especially in the countryside. The sprinkler
guests receive hand-painted eggs in return.
