I'm a fan of goulash in all its forms, and there are many. There's the American dish of ground beef, tomato sauce, peppers, and pastaâa dish that I knew as American chop suey while growing up in the Northeast.

The food of Hungary has a long history with many influences-including those from neighboring Slavic countries, Germany, Austria, and France.
