Can you picture your favorite comfort food? Whether it’s a steaming bowl of your grandmother’s homemade soup or a chewy chocolate candy bar from your childhood, food evokes all sorts of emotions. But the way we experience food also depends on lots of different factors like smell, sound, texture,...

Wow, do I miss the bacalha in Lisbon.

Bacalhau (salt cod) is a deep part of Portugal's culinary identity. But the fish is found far from the country's shores, so how did this love affair come to be and continue today?

Don't know if I like that! I'll never look at a fig the same way again. Used to be a favorite fruit. Not so much now.

Figs are technically not fruit– they're actually inverted flowers. They require a specific kind of pollination that can only come from fig wasps (1.5mm big) –wasps that have to DIE INSIDE the fruit in order for the fruit to mature, since figs cannot be pollinated by wind or normal bees.
Edit Per search: Contrary to popular belief, ripe figs are not full of dead wasps and the "crunchy bits" in the fruit are only seeds. The fig actually produces an enzyme called ficain (also known as ficin) which digests the dead wasp and the fig absorbs the nutrients to create the ripe fruits and seeds.

Half of this article is untrue for those of us in Hungary. We have better meats, yes. But they are nowhere near as expensive as in the USA for example.

The distinctions between European and American supermarkets are vast, although you will still find some overlapping features. Here are some major examples.

Canned fruits are just as nutritious as fresh or frozen. Canned fruit is easy to use and has a long shelf life, making it an ideal staple to have in pantries.

Love the green bean and mushroom soups and I make a mean rakott krumpli if I don't say so myself. But most Hungarian cooks I know only use the thin skinned light green long style peppers, for their stuffed peppers. They are a bit bitter and not sweet like the California tricolor ones.

If you're in search of authentic Hungarian recipes to try at home, you've come to the right place! From soups to goulash to meatballs, these easy dishes are sure to please.
