Mohnflesserl comes from the German "Mohn" meaning poppy. [3] In other countries, different names are used for similar or identical pastries. Some such names include "Mohnstriezel" (poppy striezel) or the more widely used "Mohnzopf" meaning literally, "poppy plait". In Eastern Austria, the name "Mohnweckerl" (small poppy loaf) is also common.[ citation needed ]
The term "Flesserl" harks back to the times, when Salt was transported from the Salzkammergut through Upper Austria via the Traun on rafts (German: Floß). [4]
Hungarian or Magyar cuisine is the cuisine characteristic of the nation of Hungary, and its primary ethnic group, the Magyars. Hungarian cuisine has been described as being the spiciest cuisine in Europe. This can largely be attributed to the use of their piquant native spice, Hungarian paprika, in many of their dishes. A mild version of the spice, Hungarian sweet paprika, is commonly used as an alternative. Traditional Hungarian dishes are primarily based on meats, seasonal vegetables, fruits, bread, and dairy products.
