From simple, tasty looking street food to a perfectly presented restaurant dish, sharing pictures of food on Instagram has almost become a ritual for some of us – even if it risks our meal getting cold!
With this in mind, Thuisbezorgd.nl applied their food expertise to discover which Hungarian food staples are most popular on the Instagram feeds of foodies by finding the total hashtag count for each dish.
What are the most Instagrammable Hungarian dishes?
In first place, lecsó is the most popular Hungarian lunch on Instagram. The hearty vegetable ragout is a staple of the nation and has received a whopping 113,831 hashtags to date – 24 times more than rakott krumpli which comes in tenth place!
Paprikás csirke follows behind in second place. With 11,732 hashtags, the paprika and sour cream smooth sauce characteristic of the dish conquered not only Hungary’s palate but also the stomachs of Instagrammers.
Next on our list is pogácsa. The 11,466 hashtags these tasty nibbles received suggests that foodies won’t lose an opportunity of sharing a picture of the traditional snack on Instagram.
The emblematic rakott krumpli makes the top ten!
Pogácsa are a poor relation to scones. Each to their own but I find them inedible.
