Hungarian paprika

rtc

Paprika is the dominant flavour of Hungary, which has a cuisine like no other in Europe.

The strings of red paprika (unground red pepper) hung on the white walls of the houses in the neighborhood of Kalocsa, a town along the Danube, offer a fascinating view in autumn.

Chicken, beef, veal, pork and game are flavoured with paprika in famous dishes such as goulash, which is a soup rather than a stew, and pörkölt, which is a stew.

There's many types of Paprika - 'sweet' means 'not hot'; 'rose paprika' is lively and spicy while 'hot' is very hot. Smoked paprika can also be found. Paprika is a great gift to bring back from Budapest.
