Goulash (Hung “gulyás”) is a national dish of Hungarians (also popular in Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia). Goulash is a piece of beef or veal stewed with bacon, onion, pepper (usually with paprika) and potatoes.
Goulash exists in two main forms - liquid goulash soup (Hungarian Gulyásleves, German. Gulaschsuppe) and thicker white goulash (perkelt) (Hung. “Pörkolt”).
