  • In this week's travel vlog we eat 14 amazing Hungarian dishes. Join us on the ultimate food tour in Budapest!
    We start our Hungarian food tour at Sophie Brasserie where we eat Hungarian cold fruit soup. We then go to Belvárosi Disznótoros where we eat Hungarian sausages and a side of pickles.
    Next, we head to Langosom where we have one of the most iconic Hungarian dishes: Langos. At the next restaurant, Korhely Faloda & Daloda, we eat Chicken Paprikash, Sztrapacska, and a dessert that many of our viewers recommended: Túrógombóc, delicious cottage cheese dumplings with cream. At Regős Vendéglő we eat Hungarian Tripe Stew and Deer stew. We then head to Lost 36 Bar where we drink some of the most popular Hungarian liquors: Palinka and Unicum. We needed this liquid curage for one of the dishes at the next restaurant. At Lecsó Hungarian Restaurant we order Lesco, Fishermen's soup, Fried Trappist Cheese and a very unique dish: Rooster Testicle Stew! Our final stop is Szamos Gourmet Haz where we eat some sweet and decadent Hungarian Cakes.
    Filmed during August/September 2023.

So different! Super sweet, but cool and refreshing. Kind of a strange way to start a meal, but it's so good!

    I enjoyed your video. You had a really good attitude about trying all sorts of dishes. Some were my favorites. Your pronunciation was pretty good for a short visit to Hungary. My wife has been studying Hungarian for some time and has a really tough time with it. I live in Colorado and make "lecsó" and "chicken paprikás" fairly frequently. The fish soup you had can be made super hot, but it's typically done by adding whole hot peppers during cooking. If someone likes their soup hot, then they serve the soup with those whole hot peppers. The guest would break the stem off and squeeze the fleshy part out along with the seeds using their spoon. If you like your soup very hot, you squeeze more hot peppers as noted. ( That's my preference. ) There are regional variations of this soup. The town of Baja has a festival each year where people gather on the main square to enjoy this soup ( Bajai Halfőző Fesztivál ), which is made in cauldrons over fire. As for the rooster testicle stew, it's probably not that common. I've had it as part of a rooster comb/testicle stew and I liked it. If you've had Rocky Mountain Oysters, the idea should not be that strange. I think the eating of less desirable parts of animals came about due to people's economic circumstances. When my family slaughtered a pig, only it's hair was discarded. Everything else was used for something.
    I agree with you that the original version of chicken paprikás is just fine. I'm not sure why some restaurants mess with it. I think in the last 20 or so years, Hungarian cooking has changed. I don't recall people eating melted cheese, for example. Perhaps it's the pizza adoption after the fall of communism that started that. Lángos used to be served plain, where you could spread garlic sauce on top with a brush as an option--but that was it. At least that was my experience. I left Hungary in the 70's.

    • @wherearewe-yt
      @wherearewe-yt  Před měsícem

      We figured the rooster dish wasn't so common, but we had to try it! We always try dishes that seem more "unusual" to some. It's very common practice in many parts of the world to try and use everything. It's good not to be wasteful! Sometimes, a dish can surprise us.

    I was born in Budapest, always lived here. I've never tried rooster balls, nor tripe. Both are quite popular comfort foods, maybe a bit overhyped. We have a vibrant foodie culture as most European cities do, but traditional Hungarian foods are mostly relegated to homecooked comfort dish role or for tourist's consumption. As you eluded to it: all that paprika is a bit boring after a while.

    It is refreshing to see tourists visit and think that Hungarian food is more than gulyas, langos and "chimney cakes." The most authentic Hungarian food will be found on the side streets (excellent that you went to Regös in my neighborhood!) but I do also recommend a restaurant 100 Kiraly in the same area. Oh and we do not all eat the rooster testicles.

    About "halászlé", or fisherman's soup (not fish soup!), usually what we do is that we boil it together with some cseresznyepaprika, so that it would not get hot automatically, but whoever wants to make it spicy would take the boiled cseresznyepaprika and squeeze it into the soup, then it would turn spicy, guaranteed.

    Hello again!
    Fruit juice is made from frozen fruit because it is always available. It can also be made from fresh fruit.
    About the sausages. The only thing that has meat is the sausage. The other two sausages are not. Those hurka. It has cooked offal with cooked seasoned rice. It is also variant known for its breadcrumbs and barley. But rice is common. Blood or liver can be added to this base. There is nothing but spicy meat in the sausage. Yes, the sausage needs fat, because without it there is no sauce. Without fat, it's like sawdust.
    5:28 almapaprika (apple pepper. This berry is shaped like an apple, hence its name. I cut it in half before biting it, so the juice flows out. I think the spicy version is the real one.
    Bread is usually eaten with sausages. In fact, it is also eaten with all fatty foods.
    Classic street food is sausage + mustard + bread.
    Korhely means drunk person. An old word is now considered more humorous while retaining its original meaning. ly = j at the end of the word, about the beginning of the English yep)
    strapacska=strapachka is originally a Slovak dish.
    Velő=Marrow. As you can see, this is not the same as the brain. Tripe is usually prepared as a stew here. There is also knuckle version too.
    "Koccintás" = when you gently knock your glasses together before drinking. Actually, it originates from the other's greeting and challenge to a duel.
    It is also customary to say " fenékig ! (to the bottom !), which means that the level of the drink must be at the bottom of the glass. In other words, you have to drink the drink at the same time.
    "Egészségedre" (To your health) This is a good wish. It means to be in good health from what was given to you with good intentions.
    Lecsó . It has many variations. As you said, there is also a meaty version, usually with soft sausage. The name of this sausage is Lecsó sausage. The proportion of tomatoes and peppers can also change. One such version is served with rice. The saying that there are as many customs as there are houses is especially true for this dish. Actually, the onions are fried in bacon fat, so I wouldn't call it a vegetarian dish. Brandon said it right.
    Fish soup. Always soup. Today it is mainly made from one type of fish, but the old recipes used at least 3 types.
    Consumption around Christmas is based on religious reasons. On the one hand, fish was an easily available ingredient at this time, and on the other hand, fish was always a fasting food. Fasting is prescribed in the liturgy before Christmas.
    Of course, fishermen also ate this at other times, because it was the cheapest food for them.
    The subject of constant debate is the original form of the food.
    so there are differences between the dish stocks.
    Spicy or not? On the one hand, spicy means something different to everyone, and on the other hand, the same dish can be prepared hot or not hot. You can usually ask for Erős Pista or dry strong paprika. The latter is also a dried small pepper. You soak it in food and the capsaicin dissolves. But just be careful, because it can surprise you...
    Rooster = kakas :) Rooster's testicles are said to be an aphrodisiac...
    I ate it once, it wasn't popular with me.
    Dobos cake. I read a book on the subject. It's called "Kakastaréj".
    The author researched the origins of several legendary dishes (e.g. goulash, fish soup, Jókai bean soup, Újházi chicken soup, Dobos cake, Gundel pancakes...), reviewed menus, recipe descriptions, newspaper reports, so he did a fairly thorough job. This book is my source.
    József Dobos was a businessman. He distributed the predecessor of this cake in Hungary. He also sold many other things, so the name Dobos became a brand. The recipe for the original Dobos cake is also known, which is a little different from today's version.
    Bon appetit and good luck!

    There are túrógombóc and túrós(!) gombóc. The difference between them is the sphere itself. At túrógombóc they make a sphere from flavoured túró and covering it with a relatíve thin pasta (around 50 mm) while at túrós gombóc they mix the túró and pasta then made sphere from this mixture. After you get spheres in any way written before the rest of the process the same. So in the túrógombóc you can find a massive core of pure túró inside. You ate in the video túrós gombóc. I liked your video, thanks.

    Just some correction. That wasn't strapachka, strapachka is a Slavic dumbings wich had goat cheese mixed in it. What you ate was túrós csusza. Wich is pasta with cottage cheese kind of thing kalled túró, a kind of raw chees but it isn't fermented and we don't consider it a cheese. You can eat it sweet or Savery, sweet is with powder sugar and sourcream, the savery one is salty with bacon and sourcream. The secret hungarian combination wich they don't serve in restaurants is with sugar, bacon and sourcream.
    Túrógombóc is dumpling mixed with túró and after coocked they coat it with roasted bread crumbs.
    Túrós gombóc is different, it's filled with túró in the middle,
    Szilás gombóc has a cinamon sugar coated plum on the inside.
    In hungarian spicy is tricky because we have two concepts fűszeres literally means spicy (have lot of spices in it, flavourfull) and csípős or erős (strong) for spices that burns your mouth.

    • @wherearewe-yt
      @wherearewe-yt  Před 5 měsíci +1

      We actually still have a photo of the menu and the dish was called "Juhtúrós sztrapacska szalonnapörc". It definitely tasted like goat's cheese as well. However, in the video we showed a quick flashback to another time when we had what we thought was the same dish, but I think that was actually "túrós csusza". So we had both. Both were really yummy. The sweet version sounds really interesting. Would love to try that 😊

    Thanks for the video, it was really great! :) And to answer one of your questions about the rooster testicle stew, where you was courious about its status like outdated or not, i have the answer :) Same as the chicken heart stew, or chicken heart rizotto, its a rural food (they just cannot print there its for rural people). Its not a common food(not even at rural areas), but if you want to produce tons of chicken breast to fulfill city consumptions you are producing a lot of other parts that are not really mainstream at the markets. I can calm everyone down and tell you that, you eat this as well in form of chicken nuggets or similar products, but that dish was an example of the usuage of non-mainstream butchery products at the old times(you can immagine if someone cooked this, they are not slaughtered 50 roosters just to have the 100 balls, but it was a side-product even at old times). Nowadays its an exotic food, because in this example its directly used in a dish, and those balls were saved for this meal, but anyone who read this comment ate much more balls than they can immagine in form of grinded meat products. And as a summary that dish is a much more higher quality food(and much more honest) compared to some common foods even if they mark it as outdated.

      You're right, though. The same kind of people who eat chicken nuggets, hotdogs, and other mystery meats have likely eaten much, much worse at this point. At least we know they're balls. 😂
      If you're slaughtering an animal, it's good practice to use everything you possibly can. It's like this is most rural areas around the world and third world countries. We've tried some pretty interesting dishes this way!

    Hello! The origin of certain food is questionable for historical reasons. I do not want to drank the food of another nation, I just mention it as a note. The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was in the 1800s. The historical map had a huge empire, especially Hungary. Many nations lived together. To the later Trianon Peace dictate. There are typical Hungarian dishes and Slavic, Saxon, Transylvanian dishes, names with a little Hungarian seasoning and name. For example, the staple, Brasov, chimney cake, Vienna slice..ect.

And oh yes, the tripe soup. Just made it 2 weeks ago, ciorba de burta. Just made that Lecho or ghiveci we call it in Romanian. The rice is usually mixed in.

    In actuality, Hungarian cuisine is actually a combination of nearby German and Polish cuisines. And their main seasoning is paprika. In the United States, paprika is just a flavorless seasoning that tastes like a very weak red pepper. Goulash. I don’t know any country in mainland Europe that uses beef as a main meat; it’s always pork and maybe lamb.
    And Americans? Many from the south and Midwest think goulash is a casserole of ground beef, macaroni, and tomatoes.

Here in Hungary, the main difference is definitely the excessive use of paprika. They use paprika here in most dishes, it seems! Sauerkraut is used in a few dishes as well. But there are many dishes that are pretty uniquely Hungarian.
      I don't know that I would say beef is the most common meat here. I would say pork and chicken are equally as prevalent. They even have their own breed of Hungarian pig here!

      Most of them were pretty good, actually! They're also mostly highly reviewed, by both tourists and locals alike. Out of all these places, I would say Lecsó isn't necessarily worth going back to- and Korhely was just average- but the túrógombóc were really good.
      We've lived here on and off for three years. We've been to some places that were better, and some worse.
      If you're local, then what do you think is a place that's not "the worst"?
