By Milena Hrychka

• Transcarpathia is a multinational mixture of culinary traditions with surprising diversity: each of the nations who lived in this generous land, left a few recipes. However, the strongest effect was still made by the Hungarian cuisine.

• There are dishes that came to us from ancient times, and are not found in any other menu - stewed beans, turnips and shovels. Transcarpathians are very fond of fragrant additions and spices and often use red peppers "papryka" and black pepper "poper" as well as garlic, onion, cumin, and all spicy greens.
