VIDEO: Jane Fonda speaks Hungarian in this Netflix series
Have you ever heard the two-time Academy Award-winner Jane Fonda speak Hungarian? Here is your chance.
Jane Fonda, the American film icon who won two Academy Awards, seven Golden Globes and several other prestigious awards, spoke Hungarian in a Netflix series. The Hollywood star plays the leading role in the streamer’s Grace and Frankie series with Lily Tomlin. The series is about two ageing women who form an unlikely friendship after their husbands reveal they are in love with each other and plan to get married. The series premiered on Netflix on May 8, 2015, and has seven seasons.
Promotions.hu found the episode titled “The Paprikash” (7th season), in which Jane Fonda speaks Hungarian. Of course, Hungarian viewers already knew what the episode was about: the chicken paprikash, a traditional Hungarian dish.
Chicken paprikash (paprikás csirke or csirkepaprikás in Hungarian) is one of the most popular Hungarian dishes because it has everything that characterises our cuisine: paprika, pepper, onion, garlic, green pepper, tomato, meat and sour cream.
It’s a must-try meal, and you can prepare it following the instructions of THIS article of ours.
Jane Fonda wants to eat a chicken paprikash in the episode, her mother’s paprikash to comfort her. Her pronunciation is not the best since she says something like “paprigázs” instead of paprikash, but we know what she is trying to refer to.
Heroin is best in Hungary?
A friend of hers says in the episode that she had spent some time in Hungary, so the series creators knew paprikash was a typical Hungarian food. Interestingly, she adds that heroin was “incredible” there. Several heroin smugglers were caught in Hungary, for example HERE and HERE.
According to an IMF report, in Hungary, about one-third of the drug addicts and regular consumers take pills (LSD, SPEED, Ecstasy, Amphetamine), 19% take Marijuana, and 14% take Heroin.
