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.

        Yeah I feel like you’d get shot in Bologna for even suggesting paprika and cumin in a ragu

        No, I’ve tried it and it is pretty awful. And combined with cumin it is just going to make your bolognese taste like a chili. Which I guess it fine if your are making a chili, but when I have a bolognese I want it to taste like a bolognese.
