Lunch in the kolyba of Transcarpathian cuisine, which is characterized by dishes prepared with red pepper, tomatoes and capsicum (famous Hungarian goulash, chicken paprikash with dumplings and cabbage rolls).
Transcarpathia is closely connected with the Hungarians, so paprika plays a leading role in almost all dishes, such as goulash (a cross between a thick soup and a meat stew), pérekelt (a stew dominated by chopped onions), tokany (a dish similar to pérekelt) and paprikash (paprikash is the name given to all dishes with sour cream sauce and paprika), pork soups.
