At the festival in Kozard we were introduced to what I would call my dream come true dish and the only thing that actually made me sick on the trip. Strapacska. This dish makes Langos look like a light snack.
You start with a bowl full of little mashed potato dumplings in the style of spaetzle or gnocchi. Then you mix the dumplings with a large handful of crumbled ewe's cheese which is the Hungarian version of goat feta. Stir that up so that it's nice and creamy. Add to the top a hefty dollop of sour cream and drizzle a scoop of bacon grease on top. The first few bites are pure delicious creamy love and then you begin to think about what you're consuming. The indigestion that follows is hard to beat.

A few days after being introduced to Sztrapacska at the fest, we headed to Matraszentimre, a tiny mountain town off the scenic highway 24 where we heard there was a restaurant that specializes in the stuff.
Kemences Csarda Restaurant
We sat. We ordered. We ate. We went to the bathroom. End of story.
