All true, Mark. I agree that paprika does color dishes more than other
peppers.
Smoked paprika has become so common that itÂ’s now a McCormick spice in most
supermarkets. There are number of Spanish paprikas, e.g. hot. sweet,
bittersweet: http://tinyurl.com/vjaws A combination/mix is used in paellas.
The hot is not as hot as cayenne, but it is
HOT.

Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried sweet red bell peppers
(Capsicum annuum). In many European countries, the name paprika also refers
to bell peppers themselves. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add
colour and flavour to dishes.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word comes from the
Hungarian "paprika". This derives from the Serbian and Croatian "paprena"
that means "the one that is hot" and it is derived from Serbian and Croatian
noun papar, "pepper", which in turn was borrowed from the Latin "piper", for
"pepper."
A-and, it normalizes blood pressure, helps digestion, increases saliva--for
kissing!---and has
6 to 9 times more Vitamin C than tomatoes.....
