    In Hungary, lángos is a typical beach dish. It was very cheap and had nothing on it. Today it is cheap only in the markets, 600 HUF, 1.3 EUR, but tourists do not get to the market very much. They buy it expensively and put all sorts of things on the langos. I'm Hungarian and I won't let you put anything on it, because it's the most delicious.

    To me Langos is without topping, only salt or garlic rub.
    The hybrid Langos with topping is of course more inbetween.

    I had Langos for lunch at a rock festival 8 years ago, that was my first time (maybe only this far) having Langos. I really liked it! There's Langos trucks coming to my town from time to time, but I haven't had the chance to go when they're here. Hopefully I'll have the chance to this summer. I prefer Langos with garlic, sour cream, cheese and red onion on top. When it comes to preference between pizza or langos, it's really down to what I want that particular day, both are really good in their own way. That said, I consider langos more fit for lunch, and pizza can be lunch or dinner as pizza feels more like a complete meal

    It's rubbish to charge so much money for this very delicious food. Take flour, salt, water and a grain of boiled potato and a little yeast!
    The flour must be mixed with the yeast with a little sugar and added to the flour, to which I add a little salt and a mashed potato (this will keep the dough fresh the next day!). You have to knead it well and let it rest, then cut out a piece, flatten it between your hands and fry it in hot oil. Then let it drain from the oil and you can put anything on it, everything is delicious! Enjoy your meal. There is salt, flour and oil in every country! You have to make a little leaven without yeast, but I think there is yeast in every country. As a Hungarian, I apologize for cheating you with this food!
