Langos - a Hungarian snack
November 13th, 2018 | starter
In Budapest, you get it everywhere: Lángos – a fried potato-yeast dough spread with garlic and sour cream. Grated cheese and a touch of paprika complete the taste. Whether it tastes just as good at home… We tried it. And, yes! Lángos are delicious, even at home!
In the big market hall in Budapest on the first floor they also serve Lángos. Unfortunately, they are degenerated into pizza-like puff pastries, which are covered with all sorts of things (salami, mushrooms, pineapple, etc.), which certainly have nothing to do with a traditional Hungarian Lángos. On the Margaret Island and in the Puszta, on the other hand, we were allowed to taste genuine Lángos. The following recipe comes very, very, very close…. only the Hungarian environment is missing…

Veal cheeks – tender as butter
This dish is my absolute favourite for a festive multi-course meal. It is a bit time-consuming, but you can prepare it already days before your guests arrive and freeze it. As a side dish dumplings or Spätzle and a salad of lamb’s lettuce with roasted bacon and walnuts are a perfect match. The effort is rewarded by a super tender meat and incredible aromas!

Cicchetti with chanterelles – almost like in Venice
When I think of Venice and Cicchetti I start daydreaming. Normally my dearest captain would be on the Adriatic Sea at this time of year, I would certainly be with him on board and we would have made some nice Cicchetti tours through the beautiful lagoon city. Would. Would have. Subjunctive. Nothing is normal in these Corona times. The ships are not sailing, they have been on anchorage for months. Well, if we can’t go to Venice, we’ll do the cicchetti at home.
