Savanyúság

The Savanyúság (ˈʃɒvɒɲuːʃaːɡ) are small side dishes of vegetables or fruits pickled in brine in the Hungarian cuisine, commonly accompanying the main dish. When it is cut up to small peaces, it is called csalamádé. It's often made of watermelon, alma paprika (Capsicum annuum L. convar. Longum), bell pepper, cucumber, leeks, red cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, green tomatoes, sauerkraut (savanyú káposzta), beetroot, TV pepper (abbreviation of "töltésre való" meaning "meant for making töltött paprika", but jam is also made out of it ), mostly soaked in vinegar.

It appears in Zsigmond Móricz's: Dinner, as something the main course can't be lacking.
