hufolk1-5, Exercise 2: Bread, paprika or pálinka

Model answer:

Example: paprika. It became central to Hungarian cooking from the nineteenth century, with Kalocsa and Szeged as production centres, and strings of drying peppers are a familiar household sight. In the national image it is a symbol of Hungarian food, though the line between household cooking and tourist cuisine is blurred (check the history). Bread or pálinka (hospitality, home distilling) are equally acceptable.
