It originates from the medieval Kingdom of Hungary.
 Its origin traces back to the 9th century to stews eaten by Hungarian shepherds. Back then, the cooked and flavored meat was dried with the help of the sun and packed into bags produced from sheep's stomachs, needing only water to make it into a meal. ]]> 2017-03-11 11:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/zshamlin19/Hun_cuisine/wish/159428927 Paprika zshamlin19 https://padlet.com/zshamlin19/Hun_cuisine/wish/159447991 Paprika is a ground spice made from the red air-dried fruit of the pepper plant.

Hence its name; "láng" means "flame". 
 Lángos was made from bread dough and was served as breakfast on the days when new bread was baked. Now that people no longer bake bread at home, lángos is fried in oil.
Lángos is popular all year long around bus stations, at fairs and local celebrations or sport events, in amusement parks and at open-air baths, pools, slide-parks and beaches.
Lángos is most often served with garlic sauce, sour cream and grated cheese.

Between 1896 and 1898, newspapers wrote extensively about the marriage of the primás (first violinist) Jancsi Rigó to the Belgian countess. The cake is a celebration cake wearing Rigó Jancsi's name and in honor of the romantic love story.
Sources do not agree about the origin of the pastry. Some claim that Rigo created the pastry together with an unknown pastry chef to surprise Clara; others claim that Rigó Jancsi brought this pastry to Clara and the confectioner named it afterwards Rigó Jancsi.
