Overview
The culture of Hungary varies across Hungary, starting from the capital city of Budapest on the Danube, to the Great Plains bordering Ukraine. The country is a land of particularly rich folk heritage. Folk culture is not only preserved in museums, however - traditions live on in many of Hungary's small villages, kept alive by local communities, and even modern-day city-dwellers do things that might surprise you first.
Overview
Hungarian cuisine is a synthesis of ancient Asiatic components mixed with Germanic, Italian, and Slavic elements. The food of Hungary can be considered a melting pot of the continent, with its own original cuisine from the Magyar people.
Soup
Hungary is a soup-eating nation. A complete three-course meal always starts with a soup. It can be a hearty meat soup like the world-famous goulash or a sweetish fruit soup. It may contain chunks of beef, potatoes, and vegetables, plus plenty of paprika and spices.
Chicken paprikash
Chicken paprika is a popular dish of Hungarian origin and one of the most famous variations on the paprikash preparations common to Hungarian tables. The meat is typically simmered for an extended period in a sauce that begins with a paprika-infused roux.
