   • 1905, The Outlook, volume 81, page 519:

     “Of course the Herr will desire to choose from the bill of fare something national, a gulyás, for instance, or a páprikahuhn.” But páprika, or Hungarian pepper, whether applied to a meat stew or to a fowl, is not altogether to the stranger's taste.

   • 1971, Foreign Service Journal, page 33:

     The April 29th dinner will be an Austrian Maifest, with a special menu including Gefullter Pragerschenken and Paprikahuhner and a choice selection of Austrian wines. Suitable music will be piped in for the occasion.
