Hungry for a new taste? Plan Now for
the
Tempt your tastebuds with over 20 new tastes. Gulyás
(pronounced goo-yash),
popularly known as Goulash, is a traditional hearty stew, sometimes
soup, typically made of beef, onions, vegetables, spices and ground
paprika.
“Hungarian cowboys, called ‘gulyás,’ are the
namesake of this delicious hearty, chunky Hungarian meal-in-a-bowl known
as goulash to almost everyone around the world,” according to Lél
Somogyi, website editor for the Hungarian Cultural Garden as well its
historian. “Nothing is as great as a big tasty bowl of
gulyás with a some bread and a microbrew to
make you feel great and alive!”
The Hungarian Cultural Garden Committee of Cleveland will hold the
3rd Annual Great
International Gulyás-Goulash Cookoff starting at 12:00 noon on
Sunday, June 19, 2011 to raise funds for The Cleveland Hungarian
Cultural garden.
According to Bill Kolosi, who heads up the organizing committee for the
event, the Hungarian Cultural Garden Committee aims to raise funds to
continue the restoration of the garden which began in 2007.
Twenty-two chefs competed in last year’s event, which was held outdoors
at St. Emeric, which is behind the parking lot of the West Side Market
in Cleveland. Two awards
were given: “Judge’s
Choice,” selected by a panel of judges, and “People’s Choice,” voted by
the more than 300 guests, to the best tasting pots of gulyás.
Kolosi adds, “Bring your family, especially dad’s celebrating Father’s
Day, and make the rounds from gulyás cauldron to cauldron, tasting
different gulyás offerings, and wash it down with a soda, or better yet
a locally-brewed beer, while listening to live and lively Hungarian
music.” Other traditional
taste treats, such as pogácsa (a bacon-rich Hungarian biscuit), lángos
(a Hungarian fry-bread), and strudel will also be available to satiate
your hunger. Tickets
are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
Tickets can be purchased online at
www.hungarianculturalgarden.org.
