Though our country may be but little, our food is fierce.
Lángos (fried dough)
What it is: A plate-sized sheet of fried dough that is usually smothered with sour cream and cheese. Other possible toppings include garlic sauce or ketchup.
Why it's awesome: Did you miss the part where I wrote "fried dough?!"

Gulyás (goulash)
What it is: Known to most as "goulash," this popular soup is a Hungarian original. It contains chunks of beef, potatoes, and vegetables, plus plenty of paprika and spices.
Why it's awesome: Originally made by cattle herdsman, gulyás is pure comfort food: hearty, homey, and hot.

Palacsinta (crépes)
What it is: The Hungarian version of crépes. Popular types include "Hortobágyi," filled with ground meat, fried onion, and topped with a sour cream/paprika sauce, and "Gundel," filled with ground walnuts, raisins, and rum and topped with dark chocolate sauce. Yep.
Why it's awesome: Slightly thicker than its French counterpart, palacsinta is less prone to tear when containing richer fillings (see above). More to eat = more to love!

Pörkölt (meat stew)
What it is: A pastoral stew made of meat (often beef or chicken gizzards), tomato, paprika, and onions, usually served with a side of Hungarian noodles called "nokedli."
Why it's awesome: Pörkölt is often cooked outside, over fire in a "bogrács," which is a traditional —and heavy— Hungarian metal pot. Throw in a few friends, a loaf of great bread, and some wine, and it's the anchor for one great garden party.
