Do you know gulasch?

Gulasch (or Goulash) is a dish of stewed meat and vegetables which originated in Hungary It has become popular, or at least, well-known, in many countries, including the UK. In Hungarian, 'gulyas' means 'herdsman', so originally it was simply 'a stew made by the herdsmen', just as the British have 'shepherds pie' and 'cottage cheese' - I'm sure there are similar names for dishes in Germany and the Philippines. What makes it different today from other stews is the use of paprika, though, of course, paprika (and tomatoes, potatoes and bell peppers) were unknown until they arrived from the New World in the 16th Century. The British version also often uses soured cream or creme fraiche to thicken it, though many other countries don't do that. Perhaps it's worth mentioning that Hungarian paprika has hardly any heat at all and has more of an 'earthy' taste to it than other spices which are also sold as 'paprika' - it can be confusing! Here is a German recipe.I think that "500 g Gulasch, (gemischt)" must mean "500g of Meat (mixed) [cubed and ready for a Gulasch]" because that is, otherwise, what is missing from the ingredients listed! You can use beef, pork, venison or veal (or even chicken) or a mixture as the meat. The original 'gulyas' would have used the tougher portions of meat and tenderised it by long, slow cooking.

I know Goulash very well and it's NOT German, it is Hungarian.

I had some Hungarian friends at one time and I had some at their house and loved it but I never made it myself.

That looks delicious and now I am craving it. I always buy the goulash mix from either Maggi or Knorr, I don't know how to make it from scratch. My Mom always made it from scratch and it was wonderful. I like mine with spaetzle and a nice salad.. I will make that again after I get moved.

Goulash is a favorite of mine too. I usually make it during the winter months since it's a good meal for a cold day.

Goulash is a famous Hungarian dish, and yes, I've had it.

Never heard it. Actually, I never eat any Germany foods - it's not common here. But based on the looks and how you describe it I think we have something similar (at least almost) with it.

No, Gaulish is a dish haven't had the joy to taste yet, but sounds good. I'm craving pepperoni pizza.

I like beef goulash. Beef goulash is popular meal here.

I know the dish JJ shared.

Looks like a plate I'd eat.

Ok dear njoy. Am vegetarian

I don't know that gulasch,but i liked how it looks haha, seems,yummy.

i haven't yet heard of this but it looks good.

I know and LOVE Gulasch. I used to it at this European food market that came to Bolton (England) where my husband's from and we used to live. The market came to town every year and brought together food sellers who sold all this AMAZING food. Even the supermarkets in Botswana have started selling it - although it's not quite as good as authentic Gulasch Today I'm craving pizza. Hope you enjoyed your Gulasch

Enjoy your food, my friend... I don't think we have that here...
