Your host didn't say "Hungarian Goulash" but technically you were
served a goulash, hog slop is a goulash.

gou�lash
noun
Etymology: Hungarian guly�s, short for guly�sh�s, literally,
herdsman's meat
1 : a stew made with meat (as beef), assorted vegetables, and paprika
2 : a round in bridge played with hands produced by a redistribution
of previously dealt cards
---> 3 : a mixture of heterogeneous elements : JUMBLE
