  • Lángos is probably the most popular street food in Hungary. Deep-fried dough with sour cream and cheese. What do Hungarians love so much about this snack? Isn't it just a deep-fried pizza? And how is lángos prepared? You can find out all this from Lángos himself.

    In Hungary, lángos is a typical beach dish. It was very cheap and had nothing on it. Today it is cheap only in the markets, 600 HUF, 1.3 EUR, but tourists do not get to the market very much. They buy it expensively and put all sorts of things on the langos. I'm Hungarian and I won't let you put anything on it, because it's the most delicious.

    I would consider Langos more as a snack and pizza as food.
    To me Langos is without topping, only salt or garlic rub.
    The hybrid Langos with topping is of course more inbetween.

    I had Langos for lunch at a rock festival 8 years ago, that was my first time (maybe only this far) having Langos. I really liked it! There's Langos trucks coming to my town from time to time, but I haven't had the chance to go when they're here. Hopefully I'll have the chance to this summer. I prefer Langos with garlic, sour cream, cheese and red onion on top. When it comes to preference between pizza or langos, it's really down to what I want that particular day, both are really good in their own way. That said, I consider langos more fit for lunch, and pizza can be lunch or dinner as pizza feels more like a complete meal
