paprika unhinged i bought the wrong kind and now the goulash is too spicy it might be alright without the caraway seeds and the cracked pepper though; maybe a little butter to tone it down 080314 ... unhinged i even invested in the real hungarian kind i should have read the recipe before i went to the store 080314 ... past spicy is good! 080315 ... unhinged usually but this is a kind of a spicy that burns the lips without doing much for the tastebuds. i didn't have any garlic in the house. the next time, i'm gonna make buttered noodles instead of rice. add some garlic, and some sour cream. i found the recipes on vegan websites. central european food needs animal fat to be authentic. the chicken paprikash i had in budapest was one of the best meals of my life. simple, but so tasty i can still remember it nine years later. and it was totally the chicken fat and the dollop of sour cream that made it. aaahhhh, tasty stewed goodness. 080315 what's it to you? who go blather from
