calimacAccording to the recipe I followed, there is no such thing as chicken goulash. (This is apparently not actually true, not if the Google results for "chicken goulash" are to be believed.) Goulash, it said, is made only with beef or other heavier meat.
Nevertheless, I had the sauce makings for goulash, and the only meats to be served for dinner around here are poultry, so chicken goulash it was.
Goulash is traditionally served over noodles, but I felt like serving it with polenta, so polenta it was.
I shall whimsically call this Slovenian cuisine, as Slovenia is halfway between Hungary and Italy, on the same principle that a cross between a Siamese cat and a Persian is called a Himalayan. I'm aware that Himalayan cats are not actually from the Himalayas.
Long time since I've had goulash. Delicious, and B. liked it too. And Pandora, who is none of these breeds, stuck her face and little paws up onto the table to see what was going on.
