It is also interesting to say that in the 1960s, China and the Soviet Union had a heated debate on the relationship between potato and beef and * * * productism. Politicians comment on right and wrong, but Hungarian famous dishes can be seen from this. Hungarian cuisine is influenced by both eastern and western cultural customs, among which authentic European flavors of Italy, France and Austria are combined with Slavic and Turkish flavors, which can be described as a world-wide gathering of flavors. China people who travel in Europe are often troubled by their unaccustomed diet. But in Hungary, the situation is very different. Stop at the commercial street for a while, and you will immediately smell the rich onion oil. Even if you are not hungry, you can't resist the temptation to taste them one by one.

Hungarian cuisine has the characteristics of both eastern and western cuisines, and is unique in color, fragrance and taste, and is highly respected internationally. Italian sausage, foie gras, chicken, wine and other foods have long been widely known and welcomed by people. Any kind of food culture has a long tradition. Let's talk about the Hungarian food tradition first, leaving aside a lot of delicious food.

In the Middle Ages, the traditional eating habit of Hungarians was two meals a day. This traditional custom still exists in some villages in Hungary. Hungarian breakfast is called Regri, Ebed or Frostock. Later, Ebed was also used to mean lunch. It is said that the tradition of two meals a day is related to farmers adding coal to the stove twice in the morning and afternoon respectively.

In spring ploughing and summer harvest season, due to the increase of farm work and physical labor intensity, people add a lunch between meals. Lunch is simple: a piece of bread with bacon and raw onions, similar to our fast food hot dogs today. A priest who rides on horseback all the year round has three meals a day because of his great physical exertion. Pastor cooks by young people, and meat is the staple food, including bacon, dried meat strips and bread. Dinner is the most abundant, not only with all kinds of cooked meat, but also with vegetable and fruit salad.
