hmm…. look at this ;) does it make you salivate yet?
This Hungarian food smells really great! Being here, all the food really live up to its presentation;) In case you wanna know, the Hungarian paprika is thought to be the finest, and will be labelled as from the Szeged region. This skewed meat cubes+onions+cucumbers with cheese on top had paprika sprinkled on to add color.
We bought some Paprika powder and I found out that Paprika releases its color and flavor when heated. Thus, sprinkling ground paprika over colorless dishes may improve their appearance, but does little for their flavor. Do you know? if you want to color the contents of a dish, it is best to stir the paprika into a little hot oil before adding ;)
Zsolt hopes you will share with him a similar proverb/saying from your country. It can be with similar meaning also…but its not a problem if its different. The main point is to collect proverbs/phrases/sayings from all over the world!
The proverb for today is:
One man’s meat is another man’s poison.
(meaning: No two persons are alike – every one has his own preferences, likes and dislikes.)
:)))
so hot??very hot???very very hot??

A good photo, a good proverb, some good food, It doesn’t get any better than that.
Cheers!
I think of one proverb:
萝卜青菜，各有所爱。（in pinyin: luo2 bo0 qing1 cai4, ge4 you3 suo3 ai4）
its meanning is : someone likes radish, someone likes greengrocery.Each one has his favourite.

j’ai attendu ce midi pour repondre a ce post, car le matin je prefere la bonne baguette francaise. Humm cela semble tres bon et ca donne envie. (sinon merci pour tes proverbes, c’est une tres bonne idee)
I waited this midday to answer has this post, because the morning I prefer the good French rod. Humm that seems very good and Ca gives desire. (if not thank you for your proverbs, it is a very good idea)
i want to have that!!! tapow back to Singapore Zannnie!
I really like the steam rising off the food in this photo … I plan to go home this evening and check the labels of our paprika. Maybe they come from Hungary and I was never aware. One of the dishes we prepare is Hungarian goulash which is heavy in paprika … A similar saying would be “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.
Yummmm…looks so good. Thanks for the lesson on paprika. We have the same saying here in the US.
Have a wonderful day.
Yay! Food posts are a great new inclusion. Food is something I can always truly understand, which transports me to a place, even if just from a photo!
it’s great to see you’re enjoying hungarian delicacies, these skewers look yummmmmy and now you have to tell us where did you find this food stand, just in case we visit Budapest one day =)
here’s one more proverb for you:
‘even on the same pillow a man and a woman dream differently’ – on how different we all are.
yum yum! know what, zannie? i still dare not use too much of paprika. Need to understand more and this post did help a lot. Thanks!
And you ARE in the home of paprika, aren’t you? This looks so tasty.
Jing,
ohh, it’s not hot, just the appearance is made to look appetising;)
do take care of your skin…
萝卜青菜，各有所爱…yes it’s a nice proverb that means about the same as the one on my post;) Thank you…
Lachezar,
Thank you, you are a great supporter, Lachezar;)
Lisi,
it really looked and smelled really good:) Satay tastes different…
Olivier,
i love baguette too! In Singapore, my favourite is the Delifrance baguette;) with chicken mayonaise, yum
Keropok,
”ta pow” is not so good becos my flight takes more than 18+hours!! maybe i’ll learn the ‘secret recipe’;) or you can try it here on your trip to Budapest;) didn’t you told Zsolt that you are coming soon?
Denton,
Did you manage to find the label? Yes the Hungarian goulash is with lots of paprika;)
I like the similar proverb you’ve wrote, and it’s true;)
photowannabe,
Thank you….i’m learning each time too;)
have a great week ahead!
Abigail,
Are you coming to Budapest also? Let us know;)
Jazzy,
In case you are visiting Budapest, these delicious skewers can be found at Vörösmarty tér
I like the proverb that you’ve shared: ‘even on the same pillow a man and a woman dream differently’ ;)
kris,
Try the paprika powder, don’t worry, it’s not that hot at all. We recognise the asian foodfare with the colours, but even trying the ‘reddish coloured Hungarian soup’ called ‘Gulyás’ with extra lots of paprika powder, its still didn’t satisfy my ‘spicy hot’ craving….
Meg,
yes, i’m in the HOME of Paprika;)
