Dinner - Hungarian Style

As mentioned in the prior post, we traveled to Washington, DC to lay Frank's mom to rest.

Alice was of Hungarian descent and was well-known for several of the traditional dishes like Chicken Paprikash with homemade spaetzle, Gisella's Chicken, stuffed peppers and poppy seed/nut rolls (to name a few).

No Hungarian restaurants in DC so arrangements were made with a local German restaurant where we could dine as a large group and enjoy some of the dishes we've come to love.

The fare was more German than Hungarian but it was all tasty nonetheless.
Pickled herring in sour cream sauce.

"House salad" - all sorts of pickled things like cabbage, cucumbers and parsnips.




The meal was served family-style.  Yummy spaetzle.

Dessert - no poppy seed rolls but apple strudel, crepes and a sundae bar

It was a wonderful evening and nice way to catch up with everyone.
