SC - Gulyas Revisited

[Varju at aol.com]

<<"..........Even after the discovery of America it took time - the red
dishes
of Hungarian cookery, paprikas and gulyas, date from the 17th and 18th
centuries only.......">>

Something occured to me after i had sent my original reply to this.  Based on
thIs context I can't tell what type of dish is being refered to.  It is a
common misperception that gulyas (or goulash) is meat in a heavy paprike
sauce.  A true Hungarian gulyas is a hearty meat and vegetable stew that may
or may not have paprika as a seasoning.
