    There are variations to Hungarian Goulash. My family is also from Hungary and our Goulash is a soup/stew. My question though....is your family from Kapuvar? We have family there....just wondering... - 1/27/11

    Only my great-grandmother was 100% Hungarian, but it's my heritage. All family there either immigrated to the US or were executed during the 1919 revolution... The recipe is my great-grandmother's, though modified for availability (ex. sub portabella mushrooms for chantrelles, etc).
