Spice level warning — Goulash is not what I expected

I underestimated Goulash. The hearty and deeply savoury description didn't prepare me for the reality. caraway brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

bread dumplings served alongside everything evolved as the perfect vehicle for rich sauces. The a ski resort lunch setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. slivovitz plum brandy cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
