mákos csík

I don’t know if it is only a Hungarian dish, but we do eat it a lot.
It is called ‘mákos csík’ [Literally::: poppy-seed stripe], ‘csíkmák’ [Lit.: stripe-poppy], ‘mácsik’ or ‘mákos tészta’ [Lit.: poppy-seed pasta].

It is easy to make. You make or take some pasta cut into stripes or squares, cook it, when it is cooked pour some oil or put some butter onto it, then add some cracked poppy-seed and sugar. Mix them together with the oily/buttery pasta and it is ready to eat. 😉

We also eat pasta mixed with only jam [lekváros csík]; cacao, walnut [diós csík], cabbage [káposztás csík] or curd/cottage cheese [túrós csík] or simply sugared curd/cottage cheese with raisin  [cukros túró mazsolával].

Similar dishes are ‘mákos guba‘ and ‘mákos gombóc‘.
