Are there any hungarian recipes that call for using spicy paprika? I got both kinds but it seems like most recipes just call for the sweet stuff. Should I just sub some of it if I like my food spicy?

Paprika flavored Pringles and other chips are very tasty, which led me down to the path of buying actual paprika to use in cooking, only to be extremely disappointed every time

That's the colloquial usage of the term "vanilla". Nobody saying that is referring to the actual literal flavor profile of the vanilla spice.

[Anonymous No.20200235]

>vanilla is synonymous with plain or uninteresting
This is due to popular adoption of the LGBT slang term vanilla meaning "not shamefully degenerate" and not an indictment of vanilla as a flavor

Shitty vanilla is literally MORE flavourful than real vanilla.
>b-but artificial vanilla isn't real vanilla
Even the cheapest no-name artificial vanilla from the sketchiest corner store is genuine vanilla flavour, as in it is literally the flavour compound that makes vanilla vanilla, but created in a factory instead of extracted from the bean. Vanilla flavouring is as broken open and freely available as the super mario 64 source code. Frankly the term "artificial" is a misnomer at this point, like with fake/artificial gemstones that are objectively so real and high quality that "real" gems are identified by being shittier than the """fake""" ones.

>Shitty vanilla is literally MORE flavourful than real vanilla.
You've only had very poor quality vanilla. I thought the same until a baker/chocolatier/candy maker I know showed me his quality stuff. I've never bought any, to be honest, but according to her, if it's some in a supermarket, it's not going to be very good quality (and will also be overpriced; she told me that the vanilla she buys for the various shit at her shop is actually far, far cheaper than anything did at supermarkets). She gave me a couple beans and it's like night and fucking day.
But yeah; maybe imitation is better than poor quality stuff. I'm not sure anymore.

I like getting the real vanilla extract to do shots with. The government doesn't want you to know that it's made with vodka and you don't get carded to buy vanilla extract.

Unlike the vanilla post in >>20200365, this is something I CAN speak to in personal terms. I'm from yurp. My mum is Swisstalian but my great^2 grandmother moved to Northeast Italy from Hungary in the 1800s. We use a fucktonne of paprika. Any any any any any time I go back home, I bring back paprika. Like the vanilla I mentioned in the other post, it's actually cheaper and better quality than the "good" quality paprika sold in the US. weirdly, Aldi and Lidl both have decent cheap paprika so if you're finding the pricy stuff isn't up to snuff, try one of those. The difference isn't AS drastic as it is with the vanilla, but it's still noticeable.

I remember that, then he did a whole episode ranting up and down that he isn't political and it was by accident blahblah, which made it worse. I lost a lot of respect for him after that. Sure he seems like the type that would get Trump deragement syndrome, but the fact that he'd bold-faced deny being butthurt makes him also a deceitful coward. Shame.

Vanilla is in literally every sweet thing to the point that people are completely numb to it and consider it a non-flavor. I know people who think vanilla ice cream is just plain ice cream and all other flavors are made by adding something to vanilla ice cream. And you know what? They're actually kind of right, because even chocolate ice cream contains vanilla. I like vanilla as a flavor, but to deny that most people consider it plain and uninteresting just shows that you're very out of touch with most people.

I thought smoked was spanish though, not hungarian? I've never heard of bittersweet paprika either.
This is what I mean, all the english-speaking recipes are vague about which paprika to use (at most saying to get a 'good' hungarian paprika like OP), and often say to use too little of it. Maybe I need to find a hungarian recipe or something.

MSG is quite possibly the biggest psy-op in the history of cooking. It tastes like trash when you add it to random things, and salt provides an infinitely greater flavor profile. There's a reason salt is a billion dollar industry and MSG isn't.

You’re right. The Japanese invented powdered MSG as a way to sell their excess kombu harvest. Kombu is the seaweed used to make dashi, which is the super umami broth that forms the backbone of Japanese cooking.
