  1. Looks great Jan. I've just returned from Hungary where I had the traditional Goulash and I use paprika on almost everything, so perfect for me!

  6. This sounds good. I don't think I have ever used caraway seeds, so I am not sure how they taste. I will cook this recipe sometime and find out.

  11. 'Mince mess' or a variation of it appears on my partner's menu often. How I wish he would add the vegetables too.
