1. Goulash (Gulyás) 🍲 - The quintessential Hungarian dish, you can find it everywhere, from street food stands to high-end restaurants. It’s a rich stew made with paprika, onions, and beef or pork simmered for hours. Each region has its unique twist, but in Budapest, it’s usually served with noodles or bread dumplings 🥡.
