Chicken Paprikash a’la’ Serenade.

Epic! There’s just no other way to describe it. We stopped for dinner (after picking Ron up) and ate at a traditional Hungarian restaurant where we were serenaded by a Gypsy traditional folk band. I had Chicken Paprikash (a traditional Hungarian meal served often with flour “dumplings” in addition to chicken breasts served with a paprika-based “sauce” and sour cream) while Ron and Ben both had big, steaming bowls of Gulash (the REAL kind of Gulash… not hamburger helper!) and thick-crusted bread. It was excellent, and even better, a truly cultural experience. Eating traditional Hungarian food in a restaurant in Budapest while Gypsy folk-musicians serenaded from behind! Wow!
