Final Comments


Hungarian cuisine differs from that of it's European neighbors by it's generous use of paprika, which in Hungary is available in hot, medium, or mild versions. For a Hungarian dinner, serve Chicken Paprikas with
spaetzle or potato pancakes, broccoli, cucumber salad, and strudel for dessert.
