Goulash recipes

I'm looking for Goulash recipes.
My Goulash is alright, but I'm looking for variations. My usual recipe uses beef, onion, garlic, red peppers, tomatos, red wine vinegar, beef stock and, believe it or not, paprika. It makes a good hearty stew.
I'm looking for something different, traditional or otherwise. Suggestions welcome!

If you're going fully traditional, don't forget to add a quite alarming amount of salt - the first time I ate goulash in Hungary, I had to drink about a litre of water to avoid passing out with dehydration, by the time I left the country I was a convert to the saltiness.
Also, tiny little egg dumplings in goulash are nice:
1 egg
6 Tbsp. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
Whisk them all together and leave to stand for a bit, then drop heaped teaspoonfulls into the goulash when it's, I dunno, five or six minutes away from being ready.

I always add marjoram and caraway (1 tbsp. each). I think that's part of the traditional Hungarian recipe.

Apparently that's a very traditional recipe. All I know is it tastes pretty damn good...
