These people know how to eat (Part 1): Langos



I must have some Hungarian blood in me somewhere (perhaps my stomach) because there is something deeply appealing to me about their food. These people know how to eat! Example No. 1 is Langos. Langos is deep fried dough. It is served with any number of fattening, sugar laden, or salty toppings.

We came across this street specialty at the Ecseri Market in Budapest. Ours was served to us fresh out of the frying pan, smothered in sour cream and then topped with about a pound of shredded white cheese. We were then directed to a condiment jar of minced garlic, which we applied liberally. This may possibly be the perfect food combination.

We then dug in, tearing into our Langos like wild lions. Yummy!
