Subject: Hungarian or Turkish food
Date Posted: June 01 2012 at 15:11
As having hungarian grand parents i have been for over 20 years been exposed to hungarian cusine through various dishers like gulash, paprica chirche, pörkölt, fish soup, pumpkin pudding, and ceveral other dishes, Hungary also have a old tradition for pasta, noodles, which is as old as Italys tradition for pasta, and noodles, good wine, and other alchoholic beverages,
Turkic food is also known for its great variaty, strong flavours and wide asortments of different types of food be it for meat, fish, or sweets, most known is ofcourse kebabs, but also Börek (spelling??), köfte,
so what is your favourte food and which country represent that food, is it Turkey or is it Hungary, (historicly both this countrys have ties, as rivals so yes the poll have ceveral interesting links as both lands share some common ground and have influenced eachother, through 1000nds of years

I've never really had either.
Though I think there is a hungarian resturant in my town.

I've not had either before, but I really want to try some. Trying new food is always a fun experience.

Considering what little I've had of each, I'd give Turkish a slight edge.

My grandmother, of hungarian decent, has always been the greatest cook I've ever known. Also, I don't think that you can consider yourself as having a kitchen unless this among your spices:
This might just be a regional thing but I can't imagine there being another paprika option.

Both wonderful but I find Hungarian to be more developed and, yes, even refined-- as MoM says, a good smoky paprika does great things, not to be underestimated. Makes me want to make a chicken paprikash soon, or some goulash (with sour cream!)

Most Eastern European countries have a version of paprikash. There's a couple of places near where I live that do the Serbian version.

Not a lot experience with Hungarian although we do use Hungarian paprika whenever a recipe calls for paprika. I don't know of any restaurants in the area that specialize in it but we have an Istanbul Cafe nearby. Also my brothers ex-wife was married to a Turkish guy, so we've had Turkish dishes at her place.
I just pulled out my Jeff Smith Our Immigrant Ancestors cookbook. He's got a Hungarian chapter, but no Turkish.
Jeff (RIP) gets the credit for getting me into world cuisines. Used to watch his show on public TV regularly.
