What to taste in Szeged
Szeged fish soup (szegedi halászlé)
Szeged fish soup is made from a strained fish stock with plenty of Szeged ground paprika and several kinds of fish (carp, catfish, sterlet, pike). Good places to taste it: the Sótartó, the Régi Híd or the Kiskőrössy.
Szeged paprika (szegedi fűszerpaprika)
Ground Szeged paprika (“Szegedi fűszerpaprika-őrlemény”) is a Hungarikum. The history of paprika is presented by the Paprika Mill and Museum in Röszke (Röszkei Paprika Malom és Múzeum; approx. 10 km, Mon–Fri 7:00–15:30, adult ticket HUF 1,200 according to Tourinform).
Pick winter salami (Pick téliszalámi)
“PICK téliszalámi” is a Hungarikum. In Szeged the PICK Kereskedők Háza shop (approx. 4 minutes by car) is open according to Google; the Pick Museum, however, is temporarily closed.
Lángos and the Mars tér market
Lángos is a Hungarikum; the Mars tér market (Nagycsarnok, the market hall) is the home of Szeged's market culture, and the Tourinform food walk also ends here.
