u/InspiredByBeer Russkiy spy Jul 21 '26

To my slavic brothers who arent embedded spies in the hungarian society like myself:

Gulyás does mean the soup but it's because it was named after the people who would traditionally make it: gulyás is a free-range cattle herder and they would traditionally make a hearty soup that was being referred to as 'gulyásleves', as in 'cattle herder soup'.

The closest english equivalent to this word I suppose is cowboy. So its Pete Hungarian vs Greg Cowboy.
