Hungarian Food
Tuesday July 18, 2006
Hungarian food is loved by Hungarians, the descendents of Hungarian immigrants, and travelers to Hungary. After all, sampling authentic cuisine is a good enough reason to travel in itself. While many recipes have been recorded in some very nice Hungarian Cookbooks, you can also experience authentic hungarian food in restaurants like Gundel in Budapest.
If you don't know the first thing about dining out in Hungary, be sure to familiarize yourself with the types of restaurants in Hungary so you'll be able to according to your current cravings.

Hungarian food is making a resurgence here in Chicago. Goulash is among the more famous dishes, but America is learning about langos (like elephant ears), chicken paprikash (chunks of chicken in a delicious sour cream-onion-paprika sauce over spaetzle, and Tokjai (yummy wine).
While it hardly rivals Chinese or Mexican food as far as restaurant options are concerned, we have seen a number of places picking up a few dishes. Also, two new Hungarian restaurants opened, as well as a Hungarian grocery store. All are in the suburbs, and not in a niche/cultural area… nonHungarians are getting in on it as a result.
I would like to know how to find a recipe for Hungarian noodles and kieflies. When I was little, my Aunt Rose would fix kieflies every Christmas. Since then, she has passed on, the recipe was lost.
I still miss them, but want to pass the recipe and the art of making them onto my family.
Thank you,
