GulaschSuppe
5 medium onions, chopped
4 tbsp. Butter or margerine
2.5 lb. Beef chunks, cut into ½ inch cubes
¼ cup Paprika
1 tbsp. Caraway seeds
2 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp. Grated lemon rind (optional)
8 cups beef bouillon
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes

Preparation:
Cook onions in butter until golden. Add beef and paprika and cook, stirring constantly until slightly browned. Add caraway, garlic, (lemon rind), and bouillon. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 1 ½ hours. Add potatoes and cook for 30 minutes longer. Makes 8-12 servings.

Mom? Is that you? Why are you in the BN going by the name of Fuzzy?

You have absolutely no idea how hungry you just made me.
This recipe will be made this weekend. THANK YOU!!!!! I married an Italian and food like I grew up with is very hard to come by now unless I drive 6 hrs with a van full of kids up to Mom's. Don't suppose you know how to make (don't know how to spell this, go phonetic) BA-BIKE-E?

BUKKAKE?!?!?!?
I know how to make it but I wouldn't eat it... that's just wrong.

hey itchy, keep your fetishes to yourself. i'm trying to find out if we have a good hungarian cook here. ba-bike-e is fantastic. it's little pieces of bread (like my work-around for not using the word "balls') with either poppy seeds or sauerkraut.

that is spelt gulyaslevest. my wife is hungarian.
you really need to get the genuine paprika to get an authentic flavour for it.

i'll ask my wife if she knows what you're talking about. do you know how it's meant to be spelt? i can pronounce the hungarian words more easily from the genuine spelling than someone elses phonetics. everyone says things differently.

i couldn't even begin to guess how it is spelled. When my grandparents came here they didn't teach much Hungarian to thier kids, just food and the basics, please, thank you...they wanted their kids to be American not just a bunch of dumb mill hunkys. Grandma's words not mine. My Dad has passed so I have no one to ask. It's a dish of little bread balls of either poppy seed or sauerkraut. I couldn't eat enough of them when i was younger and we only got them at Christmas. Any and all help is appriciated. And yes, I said balls.

describing hungaraians as dumb hill monkeys is not the best way to get help from one.

mill hunkys...in pittsburgh, the vast majority of the workers in steel mills during the early and middle half of the past century were from eastern europe. pittsburgh is a very ethnic place;hungarian, slovokian, czech, lithuanian, russian, german...you get the idea. the term "mill hunky" is what people who worked in the mills were refered to as. my grandma wanted her kids to go to school and be able to speak the language. she didn't want her kids to go through what my grandfather did and die at the ripe old age of 36 from lung cancer. some people look down on the term and some wear it as a badge of honor. Grandma looked down on it for what it did to her life(3 kids during the 30's with no husband). dad ended up working in the mill anyway, for 42 years and i look at the term as a badge of honor thing.
