Macar gulaşı
Not the thick stew the rest of the world calls goulash — the real Hungarian gulyás is a soup: tender beef and potato in a paprika-stained broth, deeply warming, built on a foundation of slowly sweated onions and a mountain of sweet paprika.

Csirkepaprikás — Hungarian Chicken Paprikash
Hungary's soul-warming chicken stew: chicken braised in a deeply paprika-stained sauce of onions and tomato, then finished with a swirl of sour cream into a glossy, russet gravy. Csirkepaprikás is built on good Hungarian paprika and the simplest of techniques, traditionally served with nokedli (little dumplings) to soak up every drop. Comfort food at its most generous.

Lángos — Hungarian Fried Flatbread
Hungary's irresistible fried street food: a disc of soft yeasted (often potato) dough stretched thin and deep-fried until golden, puffy and crisp, then rubbed with raw garlic and piled high with sour cream and grated cheese. Lángos is the smell of Hungarian markets, festivals and beaches — hot, chewy, garlicky and indulgent, eaten with your hands. From the classic sour-cream-and-cheese to a hundred loaded toppings, it's pure comfort.
