Premium-Grade Hungarian Sweet Paprika
We’ve had months of anticipation, but we’re happy to tell you that the fabulous premium-grade Hungarian sweet paprika has arrived! If you’re a regular user of this indispensable spice, you’ll certainly notice the difference, and if you’re not, it’s time you started! Known as kulonleges (exquisite delicate) grade, this particular paprika has not been available to us before, and we know our Hungarian customers will be delighted to have it available at last. Once you have it, revisit our Newsletter from Summer 2010-11 and make the Catfish Soup again. Just fabulous!
Have you noticed in magazines how ingredient lists in recipes always list “smoked paprika (pimenton)”, and have you wondered why? Putting the pimenton in brackets is just showing you that they know the Spanish word for paprika. It seems funny, when it doesn’t appear necessary to put a foreign translation after other ingredients. It’s a small thing, but one we’ve been watching for the last 14 years, and it bemuses us.
