    Meanwhile in Hungary:

    • Krumplis tészta - pasta w/ crushed tatos, fried onions, bacon or kolbász and paprika
    • Káposztás tészta - cabbage pasta with sugar and black pepper sautéed in lard
    • Grízes tészta - pasta with semolina wheat (think cream of wheat), powdered sugar and peach or apricot jam
    • Túrós csusza - pasta w/ dry cottage cheese, bacon and fried onion, served with sour cream
    • Mákos tészta - poppy seed pasta, mixed with butter and sprinkled with powdered sugar

    Just the tip of the ice berg.

      I don’t think these are so crazy, if you compare to pizzocheri or other stuff from the north of Italy it has a quite similar character

        Yes. It’s basically cottage cheese that’s more pressed. Has a granular texture. It’s harder to find in NA, but is all over Europe.

        I’m Canada, after the shuttering of Western creamery in Ontario (which also used to make cream cheese), it’s only the M&C brand that I can find in the east.
