Hungarian goulash
Apparently there is an old Hungarian saying about this traditional dish. On the first day, serve goulash to beggars, on the second day serve it to friends and on the third day you and your family can eat it! I’ll leave it up to you to decide when you choose to eat your bowl of goulash!
