Lángos






While walking through the small streets of Zürich downtown, the special, very characteristic smell of "lángos" (a Hungarian speciality) approached us. We shortly followed our nose and there it was. A Swiss woman was making and selling "lángos" at the speciality market on Rosenplatz. We couldn't resist the smell and the temptation, though the way she was working with the dough was far away from the way it is made in Hungary - she was sticking the smaller pieces together on the table instead of moving the portion of dough around in the air similar to how the pizza dough is made. The taste was almost authentic, the consistency by far not. Anyway, it is nice try from a Swiss lady to make a Hungarian speciality.
