Hungary’s Red Gold
By Linda Tancs
Located east of the Danube River, Kalocsa, Hungary, is a town in the central part of the country. Its claim to fame is its paprika, known as “red gold.” Indeed, it boasts 8,000 acres of farmland growing the red peppers that have been giving dishes like goulash its distinctive taste for centuries. Not surprisingly, the town has a Paprika Museum. Located in Holy Trinity Square, it explains everything you could ever want to know about paprika, including its planting, growing, digging and harvesting. Buy a few bags while you’re there and support the local growers.
