Folyásk

Folyásk is a traditional Hungarian dish, originating from the northern regions of the country, particularly in the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg and Hajdú-Bihar counties. The name "folyásk" translates to "streamer" or "ribbon," referring to the thin, ribbon-like shape of the dough used in the dish. The dish is typically made with a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a bit of salt. The dough is rolled out into thin ribbons, which are then cooked in boiling water until they float to the surface. Once cooked, the folyásk is usually served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, grated cheese, or smoked fish, depending on regional preferences. It is often accompanied by a side of boiled potatoes or a simple salad. Folyásk is a popular street food and is commonly found at local markets and fairs. The dish is also enjoyed as a light meal or snack, making it a staple in Hungarian cuisine.
