Pairing Langos correctly — a note on Tokaji wine

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Langos. I ordered it with Tokaji wine and the hearty and warming elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. sweet paprika in particular became more prominent in a good way.

paprika only entered Hungarian cooking in the 17th century but now defines the cuisine. The a family Sunday lunch is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Langos with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
