Paprika has a flavor?! /only ever used it as a garnish

It does if you buy the good stuff. Until I was an adult and started buying spices in bulk from a local market, I only ever thought of it as the garnish for potato salad, for color.

This is a good brand I've used before.

Trader Joe's brand of smoked paprika on roasted cauliflower is THE BEST.

I think I'm going to have to throw out nearly all the spices in the kitchen. I know they have a shelf life, and I don't remember when they were bought.

edit: plus I can't reach the shelf most of them are on, stupid foot-taller-than-me husband creature.

Quite a lot, especially the smoked. Needs to not be too old, though, it does lose flavor with age. That's a general rule with ground spices though.

Like Tep says, the TJ's smoked Paprika is very flavorful.

It's funny to me that Buffistas are (a) the kind of people who generally don't ask for extensions; but are also (b) the kind of people may never return their library books.

Lawful good students; chaotic neutral readers?

Hey. New board.

I drop the cayenne in basically everything. Partly because toddler, but wife is also a weakling, and you can always add hot sauce or spice at the table.

Cumin, on the other hand, I use what the recipe calls for and sometimes more That is a vital flavor for texican food.

I love paprika and cumin. Mmm.

I am sad I did not clean up at the Zappos outlet yesterday, but my sister totally did (Frye boots for $50? Tsubo heels for $10?). We were in Louisville and I was very tempted to keep driving and head to Nashville and meet yall!
