Meals

Hi! My name's Attila. I'm a greedy-guts like the other Hungarian people. Have you ever eaten Hungarian foods? No? Now is the time to try it! In the following lines I'd like to show you what Hungarian people eat generally, on Xmas Day and at Easter. As a matter of fact most people in Hungary eat more that it is necessary, but our foods are one of the best ones in the World. So Hungarian cuisine has a good reputation and the foreigners who come here find our dishes fine Hungarian goulash for example, is world famous. Many local dishes are prepared with paprika, which gives a sweet taste to the food. The most popular national foods are paprika chicken with sour cream, veal chops cooked in paprika sauce and stuffed cabbage. We like very much the noodles: noodles with ground poppy seed and sugar with cabbage or roasted paprika potatoes. We, Hungarians are fond of different soups. We are a soup-eating nation. The most popular is the chicken soup of "Újházi" style. A typical Hungarian lunch is unimaginable without the soup.

Xmas MeaL

On Christmas Day the family sits around the table and eats together the traditional Hungarian Christmas lunch or dinner. Two things are never absent from this meal: the stuffed cabbage and the poppy-slad cake. Some people eat beef soup followed by turkey, and other Hungarian families like eating fish and potatoes with mayonaise sauce.

Easter MeaL

A typical Easter Sunday breakfast contains ham and hard-boiled eggs with a little horse-radish. We usually have chicken soup, pork or veal cutlet followed by some dessert.     (by Attila Mórocz X.A)
