Plural form of goulash, a rich stew typically made with beef, onions, paprika, and other vegetables, originating from Hungarian cuisine.
From Hungarian 'gulyás' (herdsman's food), from 'gulya' (herd), because the dish was traditionally eaten by Hungarian cattle herders.
Goulash became famous across Europe as wealthy Austro-Hungarian nobles brought their kitchen traditions with them—a working herder's cheap meal became fancy restaurant food!
