Eat Like You’re In “Dracula”: Paprika Hendl

As Jonathan Harker sets off on his totally normal business trip, follow along by eating the same meals as he does on this day, May 3rd, the official opening of Dracula Season!

At the start of his journey, Jonathan's journal entries read very much like the notes of a lifestyle travel vlogger. He makes observations about the local scenery, people, and a smattering of history - and, of course, the food.

I have found two contemporary recipes for the infamous paprika hendl that Jonathan eats, one of which is weirdly obsessed about chickens... If you can't actually make and eat paprika hendl along with Jonathan, at least you can get a very immersive, slightly melodramatic Victorian commentary on it!

Truthfully one of the most insane things to me that tumblr users have ever done is transform Dracula from a book about the Victorian scooby gang trying to defeat a vampire into a tragic time loop (which in turn makes the story even more of a gothic horror in my opinion) via the existence of Dracula Daily

Like what do you mean every single year the Harkers, the suitor squad and Van Helsing are forced to relive the worst year of their life

Sure they win in the end but over and over they are forced to loose the people they love, be striped of their personhood and fight what must have seemed like an impossible battle.

And nobody is even aware of this time loop except us and we just feed into this narrative. “Oh my friend Jonathan has just sent me another letter let’s hope this goes better than last year ;)”

And from a literary analysis standpoint this whole change is inane because it frames the book in an entirely new light. There is a meta layer of horror being applied to the book that was never possible before.

How many years will they suffer like this before someone realizes something is wrong? Before someone gets déjà vu just a few too many times?Before Jonathan and Mina realize they don’t know what their son looks like all grown up? How many years before they are free?

The time loop is starting again so just so you all know Tasting History did an episode on Paprika Hendl.

first words in the whole book are Train Details, immediately establishing the most important truth of this book which is the fact that Jonathan Harker is wifeguy #1 and he knows exactly what details his beloved train fiend is gonna want when he gets back from his fun little business trip that’s gonna go totally fine no really we promise

It's that time of year again. My good friend Jonathan Harker is on his annual business trip to Castle Dracula.

what's this in my inbox? correspondence from my good friend jonathan harker? certainly it will be nothing of import - his solicitor business tends to bore me somewhat (keep those words between us, of course!)

Let's wish our good friend Jonathan a good trip to Transilvania!! I hear that count fellah is quite a accomodating host :)

Gröning proposed the idea for the film to the monks in 1984, but the Carthusians said they wanted time to think about it. They responded to him 16 years later to say they were willing to permit him to shoot the movie if he was still interested.

Replying agreeably 16 years later is extremely relatable
