Foods of The Loud House #2: Goulash
Hello, and welcome! It is I, BurgerTac, with the second in the series on foods presented in the Loud House TV show! For today's dish, we are going for a more homely dish compared to the previous one, with flavors and a feeling of confort, we're going to be talking about one of the most popular stews, the Hungarian dish known as Goulash!

History

Goulash is an incredibly old dish, preceeding our previous dish (Pizza) By a whole 10 centuries! it's origins lie in the 9th century, as a traditional stew eaten by shepherds of the time. it wasn't however, until the 16th Century, that we would see Goulash as we know it today, with it's most important ingredient (which brings out all of the complex flavors), Paprika. this dish is one of the national dishes of it's home country of Hungary, and is even used as a symbol of the country to this day.

Ingredients

This dish is pretty simple, just like pizza, it doesn't require that many ingredients, but all of the secrets of it's flavor lie behind the technique used to mix the flavors together and briging them to a perfect end. the most basic Goulash requires the following ingredients:
 * 1)    Any meat of some kind, most prefferably beef or veal (usually sun dried before use)
 * 2)    a stock (basically the fat of a meat combined with water for a soup base) from any meat, most prefferably beef or chicken stock would do
 * 3)   Noodles (could be any noodle, but the original noodles would be egg noodles)
 * 4)    Potatoes (one of the most important ingredients in Goulash, since the bulk of the stew came from it's starch)
 * 5)   Paprika (used as a flavor booster along with other spices to really make the dish shine)
 * 6)    any other vegetable (usually Garlic, Bell Pepper, and even Caraway Seeds are used)

The Loud House

Although not explicitly shown being eaten by the Loud Family, it has been shown in the episode "Fed Up" where Lincoln shows a weekly schedule of all the foods that Lynn Sr. makes every week without deviation from the schedule, with Goulash being used as the dish for Thursday.
