One of the joys of being in Hungary is discovering its unique tasty treats. And a new-found favorite of ours is Lángos. The description of fried flat potato bread doesn't do it a bit of justice. Instead imagine a warm chewy dough. Smothered in cheese. Or garlic butter. Or both. And sprinkled with paprika or not. In the mood for something sweet instead? Try it topped with jam. Or if you really prefer, you can have it plain. The traditional way is actually sour cream and cheese (also a tasty option), but the choice and combo is yours.

You can, of course, make Lángos at home, but where's the fun in that? So our preferred stop is a place off of Szentendre Centrum, in the little alleyway on the climb up to the top of the hill. But as Lángos is a common treat, you'll find it at the different festivals (like the Chain Bridge Summer Festival or Taste of Hungary), tram stops, and markets.
