Hungary
Authentic goulash is unlike any other.
user rating Nomads, later known as Magyars, settled in the country today known as Hungary in 800 A.D. A delicious, hearty and distinct cuisine has developed since then with goulash, which can be traced back to the Magyar’s eating habits, standing as a symbol of the cuisine. Many believe it to be a stew, but it’s actually a thick soup. The second most recognizable Hungarian ingredient is paprika—a spice made from red peppers—used in many dishes, especially the famous chicken paprika. Another favorite is palacsinta, a crepe stuffed and rolled with sweet fillings.
Strong beverages to wash down the hearty food abound. Pálinka, distilled from fruit, kicks like moonshine while Unicum, made by the Zwak family for more than 150 years, is a bitter liqueur made from 40 herbs that aids in digestion and is great aperitif. Tokaji, named after the village in the country’s north, is a sweet wine you’ll find countrywide.—Denise Shoukas
