#1 Galoshes? Nope, goulahes, entirely different animals altogether. Also szertes-perkelt, but either the proprietor of one of the Budapest's outlets where I ordered it cheated (fragments of pork rib bones wrapped in fat, ördög!), or Hungarians must be nuts! I opted for the first, although the second was not entirely out of the question. ;-)

Outside Budapest, the food was usually excellent. Perhaps the innkeepers were glad some foreigner popped by, as the tourists usually think Budapest=Hungary.

#3 Let's get it right: Porkolt and Gyulas, OK? Kinda sad that they shook the commies off their back only to bring them back with a smiley face. PS: The key political people at the US Embassy were more than pleased with the "socialist."

#6 Hungarian Gulyas is a lovely, spicy soup, not the stew by the same name we find here. If anyone has a good recipe, please post it in the O-Club -- Mr. Wife fell in love with the stuff while working over there. I've been able to indulge his similar loves for Greek and Indian things, but thus far gulyas is beyond me. (I've also troubles with Egyptian bread (lavash?) and lentil soup, but apparently a healthy dollop of good Egyptian grit is needed to give the proper taste and texture to those. And the occasional bit of overripe flesh causing dysentary really enhances the experience, or so he tells me. He hasn't asked for anything Saudi, oddly enough...)
