Trying Hungarian Street Food | Budapest Food Tour

Today we are experiencing Budapest by taking you along on a Budapest food tour, tasting iconic Hungarian street foods for the first time. We start our day trying the famous strudel, rétes, with a poppy seed filling. We also sample some traditional langos (fried dough with sour cream and cheese). We visit a butcher shop to try Hungarian blood sausage, liver sausage, and paprika sausage, before trying a delightful cinnamon chimney cake fresh from the oven. Then we sampled a unique dumpling called túrógombóc made with potato dough and fresh cheese (recommended by our friends who are locals) . We end our day with classic Hungarian dishes like chicken paprikash and stuffed cabbage at a restaurant overlooking the Basilica.

Budapest will now be on my list of places to visit. I love Hungarian food already...my 30 yr old son had a Hungarian babysitter that loved to send me home with food 😂❤

[@janettesinclair6279]

Budapest is now on my bucket list!

[@seantynan1]

Me too!! 😋

[@juliea4857]

Turogomboc is absolutely traditional. My grandma used to make it. There are many other sweet dumplings that are traditional, usually with fruit. Potato dough, like gnocchi. It's too bad you missed the famous cafes and their excellent sophisticated pastries (like in Vienna). These cafes are as traditional as you can get. Of course, they are not street food and they can get expensive. SOme of the really famous ones tend to be touristy, but still worth it - New York Cafe (for the architecture too) and Gerbaud are perhaps the most famous.

[@sodapop83]

streetfood is very expensive too

We’re going to Budapest in May, our first visit 😊 the food looks amazing, can’t wait to try it 😊

Hi ! For the sausages: The difference between a hurka and a sausage is the filling. The sausage is always filled with raw seasoned minced meat. Its important spices paprika. The paprika will make it orange-red. The filling of the hurka is rice cooked with marjoram, cooked minced offal + spices. This is the basic mix. For the liver version, boiled liver is added to it. For the blood version, raw salted blood is added to the base. 4:56 Traditional pickled vegetables. On the right is an apple-shaped paprika. Of this, the spicy version is usually pickled. Pickled paprika also have cherry-shaped peppers. It is always pungent and mostly red in color. They are pickled either in one piece or filled with cabbage. The knife has un ram's horn (pepperoni) paprika. Here, all parts of the paprika plant are called paprika. Elsewhere, it's just the powder used as a spice. Pickled cucumber in the middle. We eat it with fatty foods, as it helps digestion. 5:45 He was a brilliant comedian, a recognized representative of the stand-up genre. In the communist system, it was not easy to joke about politics. He brilliantly used the opportunity given to him by the system.. Many of his jokes are still quoted today. 7:45 The phonetic description is about: turogombots. The resemblance to cheese is no accident. Cottage cheese is one of the steps in cheese production. This pure milk protein is pressed together to make cheese. The Sopron factory is indeed a subsidiary of Heineken, but it is a traditional local beer. It is popular together with the Dreher brand. I think both are better than Heineken. There are many versions of stuffed cabbage, as well as goulash and stew. Listen, because goulash here is always soup, and we never add sour cream. Be careful with palinka it can be tricky. Although the minimum 45% alcohol is shocking at first... Best

Hello Cara and Jeremy. Yum!

[@matc6221]

The chicken paprikash (previously know as paprika hendle) was a dish in the Dracula novel that Jonathan Harker said made him thirsty lol. Looks yummy. BTW the noodles are mini dumplings apparently.Thanks both 🤘

[@stephenhourd4653]

Another educational video for us foodies! Thanks again !

[@csat1078]

Lovely review. About the "hurka" & sausage: You've tasted them in the proper order as you should :), because the intensity goes that way. Normally(at home cooking for your yourself) you wouldn't eat the "hurka" by itself but with a bunch of potatoes, cabbage and as you've done it: cucumbers. Sausage with mustard + bread in itselv is something that more people would eat normally just like that. My suggestions: A) you should clarify if you are interested in what the general population tends to eat or go foodie and look for some local gourmet specialities :). B) in general hungarians love soups: my suggestion for you would be to try a simple (cold) "fruit soup" and a simple proper "chicken soup".

[@ianroper2812]

You’re both looking good 👍 obviously enjoying yourselves. Keep up the good work.

[@amfwelsh]

Looks a very cool place.

[@Eklerx2]

Good to see you enjoying the country

[@hailstone7385]

Just found your channel, love it! I'm from Newcastle and my husband is Austrian and we live in Canada. I miss Greggs LOL and he misses langos!

[@crrntvntsnthnlnftnsscmmnty]

Tbh the Central Food Hall would probably have been cheaper than some of the places you visited. Don't eat at places with Euro menus I would broadly say. Central Budapest used to have some local food for local people, a bit less so thesedays tbh but you may do better outside of the immediate tourist zone. The quieter end of Kiraly Utca has some cheaper and/or better options for Langos and Hungarian food IMHO, for example.

[@Horizontal77]

There are many delicious Hungarian dishes and cakes that are not sold on the streets of Budapest. The Hungarians are at the center of the mixing of cultures, and Hungarians have adopted many foreign dishes, which they have transformed in such a way that they are delicious for everyone, wherever they come from.

[@Sue474]

I'm amazed to see all the English words everywhere. Did you find most people spoke English?

[@lilih8478]

I've been twice and in Budapest most people can speak English, thankfully as Hungarian is a notoriously difficult language to learn 😮 I did attempt to learn the basics before I went but can't say I got very far 😅

[@seantynan1]

That looks lovely, and I wouldn't consider it expensive at all, considering the current cost increases in Europe. Thank you both! 😃

[@kaliou6645]

🇱🇺🇱🇺🍨You should do Luxembourg Next🍝

[@lbeepbeep]

I love how much weight you have both lost eating a European diet of good quality (none steroid enhanced) food. And lots of walking. Not only do you both look slimmer your skin is glowing and you look much healthier and happier

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

You made the Daily Mail website the other day not sure if that is good or bad

[@Kari_B61ex]

It was good as there were many excellent comments.

[@NeckasFBIAgent]

They did and the comments were very lovely which is a miracle for the DM

[@geoffbeattie3160]

Most European countries make a form of blood sausages just using different mixtures and names for it!!

[@endlessdreamkitchen]

💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@elder999666]

Túrógombóc has no potato in it if it's a real one. Also, you guys ate only at turistrap places. You could have ate way better and way cheaper at other places. Edit: Tejföl is not exactly sour cream although very similar.

[@gutinstinct4067]

And the question is , ' Would you want another one of the things you ate in this vid.........OR......A GREGGS Sausage roll lol

[@OriginsReborn]

Hair at 7:16 👌

[@snazzleflang]

3:46 To be fair, the UK is probably more known than Budapest is for it's irony

[@matthewrandom4523]

Völlig überbewertet, Langos & Co.

[@Pure_B]

Too many poppy seeds can make you high. 💨

[@knor1982]

I reassure you. Edible poppy seeds do not contain opium. It is often given to children as a school meal, for example as poppy seed pasta [mákostészta] (cooked pasta sprinkled with ground poppy seeds and icing sugar) or as poppy seed puffs [mákosguba] (a pastry roll rolled up, soaked in vanilla milk and topped with ground poppy seeds and icing sugar). Those for medicinal (drug) use are grown from a special type. It is true, however, that it can be detected by a drug test for a few days after consumption in large quantities.

[@DevonMel]

Be careful with those poppy seed pastries - you can fail a drugs test because they'll detect the poppy seed as opium 🚓
