    • Hungarian goulash is considered the most famous of Hungarian meals. It is said that everyone has their own version or way of cooking it by adding or omitting some ingredients, but they all call their recipe "authentic gulyás".

    The main ingredients to this wonderful dish is beef which is cooked with onions, Hungarian paprika powder, tomatoes and some green pepper. Some will add some potatos and/or noodles. When a goulash is well cooked properly it should have a somewhat thick consistency which may resemble a sauce and is usually eatan as main dish.

    Local Customs: Shinny Horse Balls

    • Located here in the Castle District just steps away from the Dali Cafe is the statue of Andras Hadik on a horse. It is said that rubbing the balls of the horse will bring you luck and it is the reason why while the rest of the horse has a green patina the "balls" are super shinny.

    I personally didn't rub them and did see anyone else around me rubbing them either, but someone's been rubbing them. LOL

     Nice Budapest pages. I was sorry to read of your loss. Happy travels.    		diligaf Wed Sep 2, 2009 18:08 UTC
     I would love the name of a store in Budapest where I can find "authentic" Hungarian clothes...not the stuff I can find anywhere. Thanks.

     Very sorry for your loss, so awful to be so far from home at the time. You have a wonderful page here.    		mvtouring Tue Jul 14, 2009 12:04 UTC
     It is sad when we lose loved ones and even worse when we are in foreign countries. I was in Singapore when my father passed on. Still you managed to write lovely tips ;-)
