Halaszle
Fish Soup : Halászlé
Peasant fish soup commonly made with carp, catfish,
pike-perch or bream. Hungarian style fish soup prepared in
various ways from region to region. Wherever it is made the
basic secret is said to be the same: a stock is cooked from
many small bodied fish of different flavor, which is then
strained and in which the meat of "nobler" fish (carp, sheat-fish
etc.) is cooked.
Sour Cherry Soup : Meggyleves

It is a special seasonal treat in Hungary when the
cherries are ripe. Sour Cherries have a wonderful
flavor when cooked. Some families like to make their
soup with sweet cream instead of sour cream. Some
add a little sherry.

Porkolt
Pork or Chicken Paprikas: Sertés or Csirke Porkolt
Every country household had a yard full of chickens or pig.. Chicken dishes that
could be slow cooked on the stove for supper were plentiful and cheap to
make. Paprikas a weekly dish for supper. A pot of potato dumplings, and
perhaps a platter of pickled Hungarian peppers and a loaf of crusty home
baked bread was all that was need for ones well being. Every meal was eaten
with gusto.
Desserts & Cookies:
Retes
Mixed Strudels: Rétesek

Special occasions meant Apple Strudel time. As Christmas and Thanksgiving
fall in winter when apples were at their best, Apple Strudel was then always
served. Today we can get apples all year round.

Cherry. (But meanly in Hungarian families.) Excellent!
