Welcome Tibor,
My grandparents were Donau Schwaben from Hungary. They only spoke the Schwabisch dialect of German, so I never learned any Hungarian as a child. Most of our Hungarian origin is hidden in my grandmother's cookbook. Paprikash was a favorite.
To find a restaurant with "home cooking", we have to find a Hungarian restaurant. That is when my family (2nd generation USA born) realized our father's family was more Hungarian than German. My grandparents had emigrated in 1904, before both world wars, their home towns no longer appear on maps. At the time they had Austrian Empire papers. So we were unclear exactly where they were from, borders moved several times. But my grandmother's recipes are Hungarian home cooking.
