    • 1930-31, Frigyes Karinthy, Idomított világ: Zöngék és zörejek 1930–31, Szépirodalmi Könyvkiadó, 1981 :
      Megint megéheztem. Kikukucskálok a konyhába. Jóféle gulyás fő az egyik fazékban, de az holnapra készül… .

Despite the obvious connection in etymology, English goulash refers to the dish called paprikás pörkölt in Hungarian, not gulyás), so these terms are false friends.
