Recipe for the best World's Best Goulash on the BBC website!

British jazz bass player Arnie Somogyi and his friend the Hungarian guitarist Zsolt Bende travel through the Carpathian mountains, only eating what they are given in exchange for playing their music.
With Arnie's double bass squeezed into their tiny hire car, they go in search of Hungarian specialities, including the country's staple dish, goulash.
Friday 21 November
Arnie and Zsolt begin at the Restaurant Rosenstein on Mosonyi Street, Budapest, before they head out on the open road to test their ability to charm food from the kitchens of rural Hungary by just turning up unannounced and knocking on the chef’s pantry door.
A plate of bean soup keeps the wolf from the door until they fetch up at a very festive occasion in a family restaurant in the town of Band. It's a Christening party and Arnie and Zsolt offer to play for their supper.
Friday 28 November
Arnie and Zsolt reach Komando, a little logging village over 3,500 feet up in the Carpathian Mountains.
Along the way, they make an unscheduled stop at the ancestral home of Count Kalnoky, who invites to join his guests for dinner, in exchange for a fantastic performance, and insists they stay the night.
