Hortobágyi palacsinta · Budapest
Hungarian savoury crepes filled with paprika veal stew, rolled and napped with a sour-cream sauce. The signature starter of restored Magyar haute cuisine.
Hortobágyi palacsinta was created in 1958 for the Hungarian pavilion at the Brussels World's Fair, popularly credited to celebrity chef János Rákóczi. Despite the rustic name evoking the Hortobágy puszta on the Great Plain, the dish has no historical roots there; the Hortobágy reference was 1950s marketing meant to suggest national tradition. It remains a Magyar fine-dining starter at Stand, Hungarikum Bisztró and Borkonyha.
