Paprika has an interesting history. It was an old world spice (originating in what is now central Mexico) brought to the New World and shared across Europe, Asia, and Africa. It became popular in Hungarian cuisine in the 1800s. This is culture...it is dynamic, changing and adapting. It has always been so and will always be. I never ate a taco until I was in middle childhood; now tacos are global, with varieties representing local cuisine. I use spices and foods today that were not known here until the last decade. My grandfather's chicken paprikosh will live on as it is a family favorite, although likely it will not resemble the chicken praprikosh currently served in Hungary! Gotta love it!
