Traditional Goulash & A Recipe Round-Up

Everyone loves a good classic recipe and that’s exactly what you’ll find with this goulash round-up!  It happens to be one of R’s favorite food, so during the colder months here in Iowa we eat it frequently!

Variations on Goulash

I traveled to Australia in college and I got the privilege of staying in a lot of homes (host families) during my tour with the Castle Singers of Wartburg College.   While staying in Canberra (their capital) I was placed in a home of German immigrants.  They immigrated to Australia in the 60’s and still spoke German in their home.  Their accents were so thick that it made it hard to understand some times.  They were great people (even though our host-dad did think the answer for everything was a little “vhisky (whisky)”.  Our second night with them our host-mom asked if we liked Goulash!  A home cooked meal just like mom made sounded so good, but little did I know at that point in my life that not everyone made Goulash the same way.  Imagine my surprise when we sat down for supper and I was served something similar to THIS over noodles!
