Gulyas is basically Goulash Soup and Galuska are a type of Hungarian Dumpling.
There is a recipe for it on the UKTV site by Silvena Rowe.

I prefer mine a bit thicker so I don't use as much water.
Also, normally use veal instead of beef

Thankyou - that sounds really nice. I might try that this evening. When the recipe talks about 'sweet paprika' what does it mean? I thought there was only one type...

Sweet paprika is basically the normal (and cheaper) stuff, as opposed to the spanish smoked paprika you would use for paella

I've played about with my sig, joined the grocery challenge but I still haven't moved off this seat to do some flying. Instead of looking at the whole list I'm gonna take it one room at a time, so, master bedroom first.

Gonna challenge myself to see if I can do it in 15 minutes, starting at 10.15....*cue Benny Hill music*
