Hungarian Goulash No. 5<br />

If you like Hungarian food,<br />

They have a goulash which is very good.<br />

Or if you wish a dish that's Chinese,<br />

Somewhere down in Column B there's lobster Cantonese.<br />

Enchiladas, that's what people eat in Mexico.<br />

Shish kebab is skewered, in Armenia you know.<br />

Then there's blubber, the favorite of the frigid Eskimo.<br />

Such delicious dishes, no matter where you go.<br />

Chicken cacciatore is Italian.<br />

Kangaroo souffle must be Australian.<br />

Mutton chops are definitely British.<br />

Chicken soup undoubtedly is Yiddish.<br />

Pumpernickel comes from Lithuania.<br />

Hassenpfeffer comes from Pennsylvania.<br />

Wiener schnitzel's Austrian or German.<br />

Kindly pass the sauerbraten, Herman.<br />

Borscht is what they're eating in the Soviet.<br />

Wait, I think we've got some on the stove yet.<br />

See the Mau Maus underneath the jungle sky.<br />

Jolly Mau Maus, eating missionary pie.<br />

Frenchmen eat a lot of bouillabaisse there.<br />

Dutchmen eat a sauce called Hollandaise there.<br />

Smorgasbord in Swedish is the winner.<br />

In America it's TV dinner.<br />

So there you have one food from each land.<br />

Each one delicious, each one simply grand.<br />

Mix them all up, in one big mish mash.<br />

And what have you got? Hungarian goulash
