3. Pörkölt
Although foreigners sometimes confuse it with Gulyás, Pörkölt is a different kind of meat stew consisting of meat, paprika and a variety of vegetables. You’ll find Pörkölt with almost any kind of meat, with beef and pork being the most common. In country pubs and more other traditional venues, you’ll sometimes find it with venison or other game meats. Along with Gulyás and Paprikás, a paprika and sour cream infused stew, this is one of the national dishes of Hungary.
