British people hate paprika in particular for some reason. Have not changed their stance on that since Jonathan Harker. For some reason it’s the first thing they mention when talking about disgusting American food, presumably because it features in a lot of recipe videos. Perhaps the funniest example of this was when someone commented “WHAT WAS THAT DISGUSTING ARTIFICIAL LOOKING RED POWDER?” under a chicken recipe and everyone tore them to shreds. Anyway, I’m a smoked p aprika fanatic and I genuinely think paprika haters are weaklings.

My most basic seasoning for meats is made of garlic, onion, pepper and paprika.
If I’m doing a stew/bolognese/something hearty, then: garlic, onion, cumin, pepper, paprika, oregano, basil, thyme, and cane sugar. And that’s nothing compared to other cultures’ cuisine.
The British are weaak.
As a British person I feel confident to speak for our nation.
Fake news.
We buy paprika We eat paprika flavored things We cook with paprika We’re not afraid of red powders in cooking We enjoy paprika!
Yeah it’s just not true, I use paprika a lot and I’ve never had any of my friends say they don’t like it. Never actually heard anybody say they don’t like paprika, come to think of it.
Two of the biggest crisp brands in the country, Pringles and Walkers, sell paprika flavoured crisps 😂
This is especially telling because I don’t think there’s any paprika-flavored chips in the U.S. at all.
So not only do you like it, you like it as a plain seasoning the U.S. doesn’t even try.
