Former radio & TV personality and current host of the most downloaded podcast of all time Adam Carolla has never forgotten where he comes from. So on this episode of Your Last Meal, he takes Rachel back to his roots in Eastern Europe as we explore a type of cuisine that's not all that easy to find in the US: Hungarian.
Rachel talks to Carolyn Banfalvi, a food writer and food tour operator living in Budapest, Hungary, about the history & authentic versions of some of the country's most classic dishes like Goulash, Chicken Paprikash and a sweet dessert wine called Tokaju Aszu.
Speaking of sweet wines, Adam gives us the story behind his sweet, high-octane signature drink Mangria.
Rachel also catches up with her besty from elementary school days Lauren Mera. Rachel loved eating over at Lauren's house, but it turns out their versions of Hungarian dishes weren't exactly authentic.
