As always, as soon as the Gourmet Festival had started, it’d started to rain. The opening was difficult with the constant raining but in the second day, the gourmands were more prepared: the Wellington boots had appeared as well as the rain coats and the wine glasses, too.

In the festival, more than 50 restaurants had made their food and sold them in small wood houses. Some had been moved out the Buda Castle for the purpose of the festival and some had made simple but great meals. This year’s festival theme was the chicken paprikash; and in all of the small wood houses people could find the variation of this national food. There were some variations, from which one wouldn’t said from its appearance that it was chicken paprikash, and there were some, that after tasting it, it still didn’t resemble as chicken paprikash. The szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu had mentioned some of the most interesting restaurants, such as the Erhardt restaurant from Sopron who made the new wave chicken paprikash in which there are no chicken only poached egg. This meal was colored; there were slightly grilled bell pepper, dried tomato and spring onions: but no chicken. For the stronger gastro people, this version will also appeal.

The Ikon restaurant from Debrecen had a street food version of the chicken paprikash. The goose gizzard had been put into a pita with ginger cucumber salad and home made cheese cream. This meal was fantastic because in one bite, you could taste all of them. It is a typically street food.
