Here is a fantastic recipe if you would like to recreate fruit soup at home: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/recipe/hungarian-fruit-soup/
No matter where you find yourself in Hungary you will probably be able to find a Langos kiosk nearby. This deep-fried flatbread is usually eaten with Tejföl, which is sour cream, and grated cheese or garlic oil. The only way to describe Langos is true comfort food. It is the one food I cannot really compare to anything outside of Hungary. Enjoy it warm with a cold beer or even a shot of Palinka!

An amazing recipe for Pörkölt: https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/porkolt/
The Hungarian chimney cake! Traditionally flavored with cinnamon or vanilla sugar and eaten warm, now you can order with many different toppings. This popular Hungarian dessert is made by placing the dough around metal tubes when they are cooked to create a chimney-like appearance. Often eaten at festivals these delicious cylindrical pastries are definitely a must-eat when visiting Hungary! They are sometimes seen in other central European countries but Hungary definitely makes them the best! I would definitely suggest ordering one warm with a side of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgent treat.

Another masterpiece of a cake to come out of Hungary, Gerbeaud is the perfect end to any Hungarian meal. It features layers of shortcrust pastry sandwiched between a mixture of apricot jam and ground walnuts. These layers are then topped with a generous layer of dark chocolate giving it an elegant sheen that is dangerously easy to spot in a bakery. The sweetness of the jam compliments the dark chocolate perfectly and the walnuts give a perfect nutty finish. There is also a Cafe Gerbeaud in Budapest that is well worth a visit! Any cake that has a cafe named after it is worth visiting the country for in my opinion! This cake is super easy to bake at home. You can even use ready-made shortcrust pastry for a really quick dessert that looks impressive.

It’s no secret that Hungarians do not shy away from fried foods or cheese, but what about the two combined? Rántott Sajt is a deep-fried hunk of breaded cheese that I honestly wouldn’t mind eating with every meal of the day. Crispy breadcrumbs and creamy cheese – what’s not to love? I put this in a sandwich and can confirm that it was excellent.
