Hungarian cuisine received many influences from the nomadic ancestors of the Magyars, the Transylvanian Vlachs[?], and neighboring Slavic peoples[?]. However, like its music, Hungary has won much acclaim for it unique culinary culture. Budapest is known for its many romantic cabarets with "cardas" (csárdás) fiddlists.
Hungarian food is often spicy, using paprika, black pepper, often onions. Some of the "hot" paprika or red peppers are only for the bravest. Main dish often contains potatoes.
