Fish soup and cabbage rolls, what's on the Hungarian festive table!

Fresh meat and fish, delicious side dishes and tasty desserts - let's see what Hungarians eat during the winter holidays. 🍤【Walnut Pie Beigli】: This is a "sweet tradition" in Hungary. This dessert baked with walnut filling can be stored for a long time. The ones that are particularly worthy of praise must be those made by the respected elders in each family. It’s both a sweet and joyful enjoyment and a feeling that’s inextricably linked to the memory of the holiday. ⛲【Zserbó, Walnut and Almond Cake】: Although it was invented by a Frenchman living in Hungary, Hungarians still regard it as their own dessert. Hungarians carefully guard its recipe, so "gerbo" is relatively unknown outside of Hungary. Walnuts and apricots are widely grown in Hungary, so Zserbó is made with layers of walnut paste and apricot jam. 👩【Fish Soup】: Hungarian fish soup is very popular and there are many different fish soup recipes, most of which originate from the two main rivers - the Danube and the Tisza. The fish used in the past was carp, but now catfish and perch are also used. Bajai halászlé originated in the town of Bajai on the Danube, and Szegedi halászlé naturally originated in Szegedi in the Tisza River basin. As a country that produces a lot of chili peppers, Hungary often adds a lot of chili powder to its fish soup, which can replenish energy on cold winter nights. Drinking a bowl of it can warm your whole body. 💴【Stuffed Cabbage】: Pork is the staple food of Hungarians. This dish mixes ground pork with diced onions and garlic, and the sour cabbage is very important, and it is also coated with paprika and served with sour cream, which is the perfect combination for a cold winter day. 🧡【Wine】: As a wine-producing country, dinner must include high-quality Hungarian wine. Whether it is the "Bull's Blood" (Bikavér) from Eger or the "Portugieser" (Portugieser) from Villány, they are both excellent table wines.
