I am always a bit sad when I feel like I miss something that is going on in my hometown Budapest. I have just realised that I miss one of my favorite Hungarian painter's exhibition. I am going to arrive a fews days later to Budapest then the exhibition closes. To consolate myself, I decided to post her works for you. I think she makes gorgeous pictures about herself! 

Gulyás

I discovered an international mistake. There is a Hungarian dish called "gulyás" but it is something different in Hungary then Western European people know it in general.

If I follow my grandmothers recipe, I have to start with these ingredients:

And after 2 hours of cooking, I get this soup. OK, I admit that it just looks like a soup... But believe me, everybody who tasted it wanted for more! I have already tested people from all around the world! It is really yummy!

So, the international mistake is that in this part of Europe everybody knows it as a casserole, as you can see it in this instant food bag that I discovered recently in supermarket:

We also have a similar dish then this one on the picture, too. But it has a different name and I would never ever cook it from powder!
