Authentic Hungarian Goulash is one of the two top meals most of my life.
When I could get it.
Actually there are about 7 different kinds of Goulash, one being a soup. But the beef kind is my favorite one.
It's really VERY easy to make, though if you do it the traditional way, it takes three days ( 2 if you are in a hurry ) to make/cook.
The first day, you may give it to beggars, the second day you may serve it to the servants or second best "friends", the third day...you/your family eats it!* ;^)
Just as good, if not better, is "THE FAMILY SOUP"; which also takes 2 days.
You want the recipe?
*The above is the hastily, a bit sloppily translation of the Hungarian saying about Goulash. :-)
