The story of the pork loin a'la good wife
In Hungary, when preparing food, there are names that refer to a person practicing a profession or, for example, his wife, which are actually fantasy names. For example, “The good wife’s way” means: if it’s a meat dish, it’s accompanied by a ragout of bacon, onions, mushrooms and green peas, if it’s fish, it’s accompanied by a creamy mushroom sauce.
