Soups (Levesek)
Soups have been made
since ancient times. Around 1300, Huou, chef at the court of Kublai Khan, wrote
a collection of recipes (mainly soups) and household advice entitled "The
Important Things to Know About Eating and Drinking" The soup is often consumed
with Riesling wines. Some like it diluted with soda water. This combination is
referred to as
fröccs in Hungarian,
špricer in Serbian and Croatian from the German word spritz, which
imitates the sound effect made by soda water as it fizzes out of the dispenser).

Garnishes For Soups And Stews
(Levesbe valok es koritesek)
Pörkölt is a Hungarian
stew with boneless meat, paprika, some vegetables and no potato. It should not
be confused with
Goulash, a stew with more gravy or a soup (using meat with bones, paprika,
caraway, vegetables and potato or different tiny dumplings or pasta simmered
along with the meat), or Paprikas (using only meat, paprika and thick
heavy sour cream). The traditional Hungarian stews: Goulash, Pörkölt and
Paprikas
are considered to be the national dishes of Hungary.

Snacks And Luncheon Dishes (Eloetelek)
A snack food (commonly
called a snack) is seen in Western culture as a type of food not meant to be
eaten as a main meal of the day – breakfast, lunch, or dinner – but one rather
that is intended to assuage a person's hunger between these meals, providing a
brief supply of energy for the body.
The term may also refer to a food item consumed between meals purely for the
enjoyment of its taste.

Fish Dishes (Hal)
Some fish
sauces (extracts) are made from raw fish, others from dried
fish; some from only a single species, others from whatever is
dredged up in the net, including some shellfish; some from whole
fish, others from only the blood or viscera. Some fish sauces
contain only fish and salt, others add a variety of herbs and
spices. Fish sauce that has been only briefly fermented has a
pronounced fishy taste, while extended fermentation reduces this
and gives the product a nuttier, cheesier flavor.

parts of the Indian subcontinent. Chicken as a meat has been
depicted in Babylonian carvings from around 600 BC. Chicken was
one of the most common meats available in the Middle Ages. It
was widely believed to be easily digested and considered to be
one of the most neutral foodstuffs. It was eaten over most of
the Eastern hemisphere such as capons, pullets and hens
were eaten.

Veal (Borju)
Veal is often
compared to beef but is lighter in color and finer in texture,
and usually comes from a (male) dairy calf.
The veal industry's support for
the dairy industry goes beyond the purchase of surplus calves.
It also buys large amounts of milk by-products. Almost 70% of
veal feeds (by weight) are milk products.
Most popular are whey and whey protein concentrate (WPC)
by-products of the manufacture of cheese. Milk by-products are
sources of protein and lactose.

Beef (Marha)
The original dish called
bográcsgulyás was a stew, not a soup. Traditional Hungarian bográcsgulyás
(cauldron gulyás) is often still cooked outdoors over an open fire in a
cauldron, a Hungarian style "Barbecue". Later on when the dish left the peasant
cuisines and became popular even in the town, it started to be cooked more like
a soup. Nowadays the dish served in the Hungarian restaurants is a soup, but the
locals cook the dish called gulyás as a stew and gulyasleves (leves means soup)
like a soup.

European rabbits and hares are a food meat in

Desserts (Edessegek
es Torta)
Dobosh Torte (type of
cake) was first introduced at the
National General Exhibition of Budapest in
1885; Franz Joseph I and his Empress Elisabeth
were among the first to taste it. The cake soon
became popular throughout Europe as it was
different from all others. It was simple but
elegant, as opposed to the multi-storey, flaming
cakes of the age. Its other secret was its use
of fine buttercream, which was very little known
at the time; cake fillings and frostings were
usually made with cooked pastry cream or whipped
cream.

encompasses the practice of following plant-based diets (fruits, vegetables,
etc.), with or without the inclusion of dairy products or eggs, and with the
exclusion of meat (red meat, poultry, and seafood). Abstention from by-products
of animal slaughter, such as animal-derived rennet and gelatin, may also be
practiced.
Vegetarianism can be adopted for different
reasons: In addition to ethical reasons,
motivations for vegetarianism include health,
religious, political, environmental, cultural,
aesthetic or economic. There are varieties of
the diet as well: an ovo-vegetarian diet
includes eggs but not dairy products, a
lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products
but not eggs, and an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet
includes both eggs and dairy products. A vegan
diet excludes all animal products, including
