HUNGARIAN FOOD AND DRINK TERMS
The food categories here refer to the general divisions used in menus. In cheaper places you
will also find a further division of meat dishes: ready-made meals like stews (
készételek
), and
freshly cooked (in theory) dishes such as those cooked in breadcrumbs or grilled (
frissensül-
tek
).
Tészták
is a pasta-doughy category that can include savoury dishes such as
turoscsusza
(pasta served with cottage cheese and a sprinkling of bacon), as well as sweet ones like
som-
lói galuska
(cream and chocolate covered sponge). Two popular
snacks
which are nicer than
they sound are
zsirós kenyér
(bread spread with lard and sprinkled with paprika; often sold in
old-fashioned wine bars); and
lángos
(fried dough served with soured cream or a variety of
other toppings, and available in markets).
