Slightly adulterated but respectfully close. Forgot to mention caraway is an oft added spice but first roasted in fat a bit to remove the menthol(careful or it will become bitter).Hungarian Gulyás
@Superampman posted a recipe for this elsewhere on AK. One of my abilities is to be able to taste a recipe, if I am familiar with the ingredients. His recipe sent me off on a quest., since I have never had this before. I used different proportions than his recipe, but much the same ingredients. This dish is a keeper, and should take its place among our regular fare around here.
Hungarian Gulyás: duck fat, chopped yellow onions, sweet Hungarian paprika, beef tri-tip steak, minced garlic, diced bell peppers (red, orange, & yellow), diced Eclipse tomatoes, diced purple and white carrots, diced Russet potatoes, beef broth, bay leaf, sea salt, and fresh-ground black pepper. I forgot to serve with a dollop of sour cream, and it really did not need it.
This was served with some nice crusty, whole-wheat sourdough bread and Danish butter.
To wash this down, we had a variety of Eastern European beers. I was unable to locate any Hungarian brew. Pictured are a couple of nice ones: Czechvar ( a dark Czech lager), and Golden Pheasant (a Slovak lager).

Beer battered?"Ultimate Fish Stick" from Costco. Best I've had and great in fish tacos.
Looks pretty good, Rich.Sukiyaki
This is one of our favorites around here, and we have it down to a science. I stole the serving style from a local restaurant (single serving). We still enjoy the hot pot method when we have guests.
The broth is made of dashi ( a broth made from kombu (kelp), dried shiitake mushrooms, and katsuobushi (bonito flakes)) soy sauce, mirin (sweet rice wine), sake (rice wine), and sugar. This is used as a simmering sauce when everything else has been placed in the pot(s).
First, some very thin-sliced rib steak is sauteed in beef tallow, then the following ingredients are arranged in the pots (cast-iron skillets): carrots, firm tofu (caramelized in a dry pan), scallion segments, red onion, glass noodles (made from yams), udon noodles, Taiwan Napa cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms (carved to resemble chrysanthemum flowers). Then the simmering sauce is added and all is simmered to perfection and served.
This batch was served with leftover rice from our previous dinner, which was fried with toasted and crushed sesame seeds, gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), butter, and black sesame seeds.
This was washed won with some ice-cold Kirin Ichiban (Japanese beer).

Tandoori Chicken Skewers, Etc.
Sometimes you just want to do something wild. Here is one expression of such wildness. The choice is to eat the chicken from the skewers, or in a sandwich, like a gyro sandwich. It went both ways.
First, Mushroom Mutter Makhani: quartered Crimini mushrooms, peas, peanut oil, cumin seeds, chopped onions, gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), fresh-ground coriander, turmeric, heavy cream, garam masala (a special spice mix), sugar, fenugreek leaves, sea salt, chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped cashews, and cilantro.
Next, Potatoes with Black and Yellow Mustard Seeds: peanut oil, black mustard seeds, yellow mustard seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric, cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, sea salt, fresh-ground black pepper, fresh-ground coriander seeds, gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), and chopped cilantro.
Next, fresh Iraqi samoon bread.
Next, the sauces for the chicken (sandwiches, or otherwise): Grilled Tomato Jam (grilled Eclipse tomatoes, grilled japeno, peanut oil, fresh-ground black pepper, chopped yellow onion, balsamic vinegar, and fresh saffron). Herbed Yogurt (Greek yogurt, chopped mint leaves, chopped cilantro, sea salt, fresh-ground black and pepper).
Finally, Tandoori-Spiced Chicken Skewers: grilled skinless chicken thigh meat (marinaded in tandoori spice powders (1/2 Sun brand, 1/2 Pensey's brand), lime juice, Greek yogurt, lime juice, peanut oil, sea salt, and fresh-ground black pepper).
For dessert, Strawberry Lassi: blended Greek yogurt, milk, sea salt, and frozen strawberries.
