These Hungarian dishes have the weirdest names!

Different regions of Hungary have their own special dishes – some of them with the weirdest names you can imagine.

As we have already seen, the list of weird Hungarian dishes is quite endless, but this time, with the help of Hello Vidék, we shift our focus a little bit and share with you some of the traditional, regional Hungarian dishes that have very peculiar names. These dishes might even be tricky to identify to Hungarians either because they belong to a specific region, or they are just generally less known – but still, they deserve our attention, too.

Országgyűlés leves – national assembly soup

The national assembly soup is made with smoked meat, dried fruits, and carrot slices. When everything is cooked, the soup is thickened with flour and a mixture of egg yolk and sour cream. The name comes from the variety of fruits you can put in your soup, such as plum, apple, pear, and peach.

Lucskos káposzta – sloppy cabbage

Make a paprika-flavoured roux first and start cooking slices of cabbage in it. Pour cold water on it and boil. Then you can add salt and 1-2 stock cubes or just use broth instead of water. Wait for the mixture to cook and then add potato cubes. When the potatoes are cooked, too, add sour cream mixed with flour and garlic and let everything boil for one last time before you serve.
