Transcarpathia is a multi-ethnic region, so its culinary<\/a> traditions are striking in their diversity: every people who lived on this generous land left several popular recipes to their descendants. However, the influence of Hungarian cuisine was and still is the strongest. In winter, the bean goulash, a traditional Hungarian hot bean soup, can warm you up a lot.
The most popular meat dish is bograch, which
Hungarians<\/a> they’ve been cooking since the crossing over Carpathians<\/a> to Pannonia. Bograch is a thick mixture of meat, mushrooms, onions, peppers, garlic and other ingredients. Cook it in a pot over an open fire (even the name indicates this: in Hungarian “pot” \u2013 “bogracs”). According to legend, the Hungarians strongly peppered their dishes during the Turkish wars, so that the enemies could not eat the prepared food.

In General, corn played a very important role in the diet of Transcarpathians. According to legend, the first ear of corn in Transcarpathia was brought from Turkish captivity to
Uzhgorod region<\/a>, in the village of Baranyntsi, a local soldier who was able to get it out of hiding in his hat. This was back in the XV century. For a long time, corn in Transcarpathia was even called “Turkish wheat”. And the tradition of gatherings for cleaning the cobs, when relatives and friends could talk about anything on a simple topic, even entered into the catch phrase: in Hungary, there is an expression “to clean corn”, equivalent to the Russian “to breed tours on wheels”, or Russian<\/a> “sharpen your teeth\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n
