Lángos · Budapest
Deep-fried flatbread the size of a small pizza, topped with sour cream, grated cheese and a clove of raw garlic rubbed across the dough. Street food gold across the Hungarian markets.
Lángos is older than the country, a fried-dough tradition shared across central Europe with Hungarian-specific toppings. The sour cream and cheese (tejfölös sajtos) version became the Budapest standard from the 1970s. Cooked at every market hall in the city, from Központi Vásárcsarnok on the Pest side to the smaller neighbourhood markets. Originally a household bread made from leftover dough, the version sold at counters today is deep-fried, garlic-rubbed and loaded with sour cream and grated Trappista cheese.
