Hungary

I grew up in a town with many people of Hungarian descent, but never had any savory Hungarian dishes (I do remember very tasty walnut pastries). Seven countries border Hungary; I think Hungary balances influences from neighboring countries very well. We ate paprikas csirke with homemade spatzle (first time with that!).
