As for the tastiest Hungarian food, we can say in advance that it wasn’t the goulash soup, the Hortobágy pancake, or the chimney cake that came out on top.
The tastiest Hungarian food
The worst and best Hungarian foods were published recently:
the winner was the Csaba sausage (csabai kolbász), which received an average of 4.5 out of a maximum of 5 points from the voters.
The following is written in the description of the Csaba sausage:
“Csabai kolbász or Csabai vastagkolbász is a cylindrical sausage made with pork from pigs that have been fattened to a minimum weight of 135 kg. What makes this sausage unique is the manual boning method during production, where all of the sinews are removed, thus ensuring the best quality of the meat.
The pork meat and fat are minced, then combined with paprika, garlic, caraway, and salt and filled into casings, after which the sausage is smoked, cured, and dried. It slices easily and has a hot, smoky and spicy flavor (due to the paprika and the smoke treatment).”
