Without quoting, you and Ruth were talking 'Goulash'.  It's a vague Americanism
to call it 'Hungarian' I think.  The American versions are largely based on
things that came from the Americas and not much that sources to the old
country.

Dave is right that based on our traditions, it has no noodles but it doesn't
really have a set list other than lots of diced tomatoes.

Common items: Tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, corn kernals, sometimes chiles,
spices such as were available, meat (type whatever ya got).  It was also made
vegetarian.  It was the sort of thing grown in your own garden.

Then things get very wierd.  Burgoo.  Burgoo is our own crazy thing with
classic version having 3 different types of meats.  Possum, deer venison, wild
duck are 2 possibilities.  Only fish were omitted.  Rats, squirrels,and lots of
other things landed in the pot.  It varies a lot but is essentially Goulash
with meats (grin).  But it's a blurry line though and more apt to be defined as
one or the other reginally.  That's why people argue a bit about it.

Enjoy!
