Debert Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Cuisine: The Hungarian cuisine is a prominent feature of the Hungarian culture, just as much like the art of hospitality. Traditional dishes such as the world famous Goulash (gulyΓ‘s stew or gulyΓ‘sleves soup). Dishes are often flavoured with paprika (ground red peppers), a Hungarian innovation.[72] Thick, heavy Hungarian sour cream called tejfΓΆl is often used to soften the dishes flavour. The famous Hungarian hot river fish soup called Fisherman's soup or halΓ‘szlΓ© is usually a rich mixture of several kinds of poached fish. Other dishes are Chicken Paprikash, Foie gras made of goose liver, pΓΆrkΓΆlt stew, vadas, (game stew with vegetable gravy and dumplings), trout with almonds and salty and sweet dumplings, like tΓΊrΓ³s csusza, (dumplings with fresh quark cheese and thick sour cream).[73] Desserts include the iconic Dobos Cake, Strudels (rΓ©tes), filled with apple, cherry, poppy seed or cheese, Gundel pancake, plum dumplings (szilvΓ‘s gombΓ³c), somlΓ³i dumplings, dessert soups like chilled Sour cherry soup and sweet chestnut puree, gesztenyepΓΌrΓ© (cooked chestnuts mashed with sugar and rum and split into crumbs, topped with whipped cream). Perec and kifli are widely popular pastries.Β Drink: PΓ‘linka: is a fruit brandy, distilled from fruit grown in the orchards situated on the Great Hungarian Plain. It is a spirit native to Hungary and comes in a variety of flavours including apricot (barack) and cherry (cseresznye). However plum (szilva) is considered the best of all.Β Beer: Beer goes well with many traditional Hungarian dishes. The five main Hungarian breweries are: Borsodi, Soproni, Arany Γszok, KΓ΅bΓ‘nyai, and Dreher.Β Wine: As Hugh Johnson says in The History of Wine, the territory of Hungary is ideal for wine-making. Since the fall of communism there has been a renaissance of Hungarian wine-making. The choice of good wine is widening from year to year. The country can be divided to six wine regions: North-Transdanubia, Lake Balaton, South-PannΓ³nia, Duna-region or AlfΓΆld, Upper-Hungary and Tokaj-Hegyalja. Hungarian wine regions offer a great variety of style: the main products of the country are elegant and full-bodied dry whites with good acidity, although complex sweet whites (Tokaj), elegant (Eger) and full-bodied robust reds (VillΓ‘ny and SzekszΓ‘rd). The main varieties are: Olaszrizling, HΓ‘rslevelΕ±, Furmint, Pinot gris or SzΓΌrkebarΓ‘t, Chardonnay (whites), KΓ©kfrankos (or Blaufrankisch in German), Kadarka, Portugieser, Zweigelt, Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Merlot. The most famous wines from Hungary are Tokaji AszΓΊ and Egri BikavΓ©r.Β Tokaji: Tokaji, meaning "of Tokaj", or "from Tokaj" in Hungarian, is used to label wines from the wine region of Tokaj-Hegyalja in Hungary. Tokaji wine has received accolades from numerous great writers and composers including Beethoven, Liszt, Schubert and Goethe; Joseph Haydn's favorite wine was a Tokaji. Louis XV and Frederick the Great tried to outdo one another in the excellence of the vintages they stocked when they treated guests like Voltaire to some Tokaji. Napoleon III, the last Emperor of the French, ordered 30β40 barrels of Tokaji for the Court every year. Gustav III, King of Sweden, never had any other wine to drink. In Russia, customers included Peter the Great and Empress Elizabeth of Russia.Β Zwack Unicum: For over 150 years, a blend of 40 Hungarian herbs has been used to create the liqueur Unicum. Unicum is a bitter, dark-coloured liqueur that can be drunk as an apΓ©ritif or after a meal, thus helping the digestion. The recipe is held secret by the Zwack family. Surely you can find something worthwhile?
