isn't that the Hungarian version of curry? the Huns couldn't handle any other spice than Paprika so they used that as the main spice

>>12253022
how are you defining curry? any thick stew?

>>12252977
thats beef stew not goulash, mouthbreather

>>12253022
More of a stew, really. Looks thinner than curry

>>12253036
There's no single way to make goulash, idiot

>>12253022
This is historically inaccurate considering they literally created the silk road to get spices.

>>12253093
But they were too weak (don't use much black pepper, it's too hot) to figure out how to use them.

>>12253099
Hungarian here, our traditional food calls out for a lot of heat in nearly every dish. My grandma makes Goulash almost inedibly hot.

epic AND random
GOULASH!

>Suddenly...

>GOULASH

>>12252977
Isn't goulash supposed to be on the thicker side? Less soupy?

>>12254318
There’s tons of different ways to make it

>>12252977
That's fucking Cambell's Classic Vegetable Beef soup. The old school kind where you add a can of water.

>>12254198
That unironically looks far superior.

Is goulash good? I have only tasted the dry ration pack goulash that blå band makes and it's shit. Too salty

>>12255386
>too salty
Well goulash is just about the best food in the world. If they kind you tried was too salty, well then perhaps you should make your own, to your liking, that ISN'T too salty.

Goulash is the best, if you want to get into it, it's best to try different recipes from Hungary and AUSTRIA, since there are so many versions that don't even have their own name.

Goulash exists in different variations all over central Europe. In Austria, Serbia, Czechia, Poland, Germany. It was so good every neighboring country just stole it.

This is wrong. We not only like spicy food, we have our own spicy pepper species mostly unkown to foreigners. Black pepper is also widely and generously used in many dishes. You're right with paprika though, we use it in many dishes.

Goulash is closer to a soup than anything else. It's even in its Hungarian name "gulyásleves", where leves = soup. It has a generous amount of liquid and we don't put celery, parsley and carrot in a stew, only in soups.
Goulash is only made from beef, while a stew can be made from a wide variety of meats. "Goulash" is the internationalized version of "gulyás", "gulyás" is the cattle herdsman, "gulya" is the cattle herd. So if you want a describing translation of goulash, you can call it "cattle herdsman's soup" or "cowboy soup".

Move along, Polish Gulasz comming through.

>>12255417
While this is true I would focus on Hungary Austria and maybe Poland and czechia

>>12254198
Grew up on this shit. Fucking delicious.

I'm a big fan of Zoltan Kabai. Manliest man I've ever seen in porn. I have came many buckets of cum to his performances. I understand he tried to become a part of Hungary's government, only to be found out to be a former porn star and promptly fired. It's too bad. I wish him and your manly, porn-y country all the best.

>>12254198
Remove the pasta, it becomes similar to OP. Goulash is traditionally consumed with bread without pasta, but just like everything else, goulash needs to have a bastardized American version, i guess.

>>12255417
You can't really call it stealing.

From the Middle Ages until well into the 19th century, the Puszta (a Hungarian plain) was the home of massive herds of cattle. They were driven in their tens of thousands to Europe’s biggest cattle markets in Moravia (CZ), Vienna (A), Nuremberg (D) and Venice (I). The herdsmen made sure that there were always some cattle that had to be slaughtered along the way, which provided them with the meat for gulyásleves aka goulash.
Other countries you mentioned were part of the historic Hungary at some point, so those didn't steal anything either. They were given the territories with Hungarian people, who make goulash to present day.

No-one stole anything, goulash became widespread, because of the herdsman driving the cattle herds accross Central Europe and making their soup along the way. This is one reason, the other reason is that Hungary is 1/3rd of its size than it once was, so simply the goulash making territories belong to different countries now.

>celery, potatoes and carrots

bitch goulash is just beef onions and a fuck ton of pepper.

>>12255679
Educational. Thanks

>>12255719
That's how I make mine, honestly. The carrots and the other bullshit especially (I would never put celery in, for example, even if I did do the carrots on a whim) just gets in the way, I feel like. As for potatoes, if I want something starchy to go with the goulash, I would rather get fresh bread with a fuckton of butter. That's the best way to eat it imo

Looks disgusting

>>12254198
That just looks like watery american chop suey

My grandmother used to make this once or twice a month, but it was delicious. I'm sure people are excessively lazy and fuck it up, but it's simplicity at it's finest. Since there's no standard recipe but tomatoes, beef, onions, and paprika are the ingredients and inexpensive has been the preparation since the beginning part of the 1900's, it can be made rather delicious.

She just made a strong tomato onion soup with browned ground beef and of course paprika and a little garlic, then added noodles that had been boiled in salt water.
