Telex uncovered it: while the meat-filled pancake itself has a 200-year Hungarian history, the version known as "hortobágyi" was only invented around sixty years ago, in the mid-20th century. Does that change how "traditional" the dish feels to you?

A Telex gasztrotörténeti sorozata kiderítette: a húsos palacsinta 200 éves múltra tekint vissza, de a ma "hortobágyinak" nevezett verzió csak a 20. század közepén, hozzávetőleg 60 éve született.

• Yes, a little disappointed — I thought it was a century-old recipe
• No, sixty years is plenty to become a tradition
• Doesn't matter to me, only the taste counts
• Now I'm curious about the real origin story
