Comments: Hungarian cuisine differs from that of its European neighbors by its generous use of paprika, which in Hungary is available in hot, medium, or mild versions. A "paprikas" is a Hungarian favorite, made with meat, poultry or fish in a sauce of rich cream and paprika. For a Hungarian dinner, serve Chicken Paprikas with spaetzle or potato pancakes, broccoli, cucumber salad, and strudel for dessert.
