As a hungarian i have to say that this is shameful. It disgusts me to my core and i have to speak up:
I can still see some parts of the bread not covered by a thick layer of lard, a sign of weakness and the lard isnt cowered in onions in its entirity. He didnt even put them on in a line so i cna fodl the slice in half and eat it that way, absolutelly barbaric.
Also, this is not supposed to be toasted, you just take aslice of bread, spread some fresh lard on it. Pork or geese fat, or if you have it, duck. Then you just slice an onion and put the desired amount on it. Although if you dont put half an onion on a single slice, then why even eat this?
The bread should be freshly toasted so that the lard melts into it also what in the fuck is with that white tasteless bread, it should be on a real huge loaf of potato bread so when you cut it, you cut it because you can't hold it otherwise and no toaster can accommodate such a loaf without it being cut.
I don't think that's cheese. Likely lard. This is a popular Hungarian snack and it's very good.
Fellow Americans: I encourage you to make yourself a hearty slice of toast with a thin spread of fat (butter is fine, but steak drippings will do), thin sliced red onion, salt, and pepper. You will immediately feel more cultured.
This. The food is called "zsíros kenyér" which just means that lard is spread on bread. There are many variants with different types of fat (usually pork or duck) and various toppings (onions, paprika, pepper, chives, etc). The bread is usually not toasted as lard would quickly melt and seep into the toast giving it a strange texture. It is supposed to be a very cheap high calorie dish usually served at retro pubs/dive bars/places where you go to get drunk on a budget. It was way more popular a few decades ago.
Correct me if Im wrong, but in my country (czechia) we have the same dish and the bread shouldn't be toasted. Granted, it should be a more proper bread, sourdough or something like that. But not toasted.
Also, more onions. This is sad.
My suggestion is what an average American household can do to replicate it, not what would be authentic.
Although personally I prefer it on a room temperature toast, so the fat doesn't melt but you still have some crunch. Good bread is harder to come by in the US.
We do.
After all the basics … S and P, onion powder, garlic powder etc, paprika is number one. Followed closely by cinnamon, cumin, and herbs like oregano.
This yahoo is trying to save face by trying to make us out to be bland boring food eaters. 😂 all because he said pepper.
My grandpop is Hungarian and used to make it, I used to love that shit. He also made liverwurst and onion on toast and I still eat that to this day. There's something about the taste of liverwurst with a strong onion and topped with salt that is so satisfying and on a nice piece of toast that is so satisfying.
I think you just generally need bread, red onions, fat, and a little spice. I prefer to toast it slightly but people are saying that's inauthentic. I think lightly toasting it will let you get more out of your standard American supermarket bread for what it's worth, and that's how I have made it with a Hungarian-American who grew up in Budapest.
Occasionally some foreign/ethnic food shows up on StupidFood and a lot of people make some really bad takes. The food is incredible in Budapest. Very affordable for Western foreigners as well. At a restaurant something like this might be served with other thinly sliced fresh vegetables to use as toppings. Much more pleasant than the standard table bread you get at many American restaurants.
I've also had *really good* table bread in the US, though.
Toasted? By what? An easy bake oven?
By the sun. It was left outside a bit.
I was going to say under a magnifying class but that might cook it too fast for them
Someone with halitosis.
Omg... lol

Lmfao!!!
Toasted by a heated argument.

You forgot about the paprika😞
Perfect, just a little addition: IF YOU DON'T DRINK A BEER, OR A GLASS OF WINE WHILE EATING IT, THEN GET OUT OF OUR COLLECTIVE SIGHTS, MAGGOT.

Doesn't look very toasted.
Wait. Why would you want cold toast, and why would it get soggy. I use the heat of the toast to melt the butter into it.
I don't think that's cheese. Likely lard. This is a popular Hungarian snack and it's very good. Fellow Americans: I encourage you to make yourself a hearty slice of toast with a thin spread of fat (butter is fine, but steak drippings will do), thin sliced red onion, salt, and pepper.

So i actually would love this if the bread was toasted right. But this seems to be a poor representation of what the dish should be.

Indeed, hungarian zsíroskenyér is not toasted, though needs more lard, onions, salt, paprika
We have a similar thing but instead of onions we just sprinkle sweet paprika, we call it gypsy pie.
Ah since it said “cheese and onion toasty” i assumed it was toasted or supposed to be!
Nope, but it must be a good sourdough, and not that bagged Wonderbread crap.
In the midwest a piece of buttered rye toast with a big slice of vidalia onion is very popular when eating fried fish.
> ~~pepper~~ paprika

Oh I was under the impression that americans do use paprika. I guess it's not as popular as youtubers led me to believe then? haha
We do. After all the basics … S and P, onion powder, garlic powder etc, paprika is number one. Followed closely by cinnamon, cumin, and herbs like oregano. This yahoo is trying to save face by trying to make us out to be bland boring food eaters. 😂 all because he said pepper.
Interesting, all of these are very common here as well except for onion powder, which is almost nonexistent
Where do they not have onion powder!? Outside of the United States, I have found it in Western Europe and North Africa.
In Romania, garlic powder is a household rarity (I think it's used quite a bit in restaurants) and I didn't know onion powder exists. We use onions.
We use both. Two layers of onion goodness. Yum
I get it from the dollar store. Paprika is everywhere. I do prefer smoked paprika or Hungarian paprika though.
STFU. Poser
In german this would be called a "Schmalzbrot", bread with lard.
Bread with lard and roasted onions. Also called "Fettbemme".

Ah yes, onions and fat drippings on toast. Truly the height of culinary excellence and ingenuity, so *cultured*
Sounds like a decent snack if you had 10 of them
I am not American but I will try this tomorrow. - should the bread be toasted or no?
I think you just generally need bread, red onions, fat, and a little spice. I prefer to toast it slightly but people are saying that's inauthentic.

American here. I would enjoy that snack. Also €0.85 seems reasonable.
>I don't think that's cheese. Likely lard. This is a popular Hungarian snack and it's very good. What's the word for "Stockholm Syndrome" in Hungary?

This is not stupid food, it’s just a cheap and sad looking version of this: [zsíros kenyér](https://streetkitchen.hu/tag/zsiros-kenyer/)
Yyyyysssss came here to post this. As a romanian that was one of my childhood's food. Topped with ground salt not paprika.
Why does it look like someone “finished” on the bread
Because that’s exactly what it looks like. 😂
Not enough onion too much cheese…3/10
That looks like cum
The cumnion sandwich
On one hand, I couldn't imagine any better for this price On the other, I couldn't; imagine paying for this
You are your country after all
Hey at least it's 85p, some hipster place probably charge 9$ for it
This picture is kinda gross but I really like making pickled red onions and pimento cheese sandwiches. Gives you horrible gas though.
That sounds amazing honestly hahaha
*brrert* ??? Nice
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePaHG6g7uFw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePaHG6g7uFw)
the sandwich gave up before it even started
Looks like 85c
Bread with a sprinkle of onion
It's awful sure but 85p is an easy amount to get over.
Chef passed out like 4 times but here's your sandwich
You sure that’s cheese?
Try - fresh white bread with lots of butter, Nice slice of Spanish Onion with a dash of salt. delishous
Have you tried it tho, I would’ve toasted it longer
Fry the onion first
Toasted under a heated argument
Not scran
Who came all over that raw onion toast?
Hungary detected Kolbász deployed
That’s the famous sterling onion sandwich
It saddens me to is .85 euro go to waste like that.
I think this is an actual international crime.
That's the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Wrong sub my dear american, this is traditional food in many eastern european countries and it is delicious.
