As I mentioned, I've been doing a lot of cooking and really going through my Hungarian sweet paprika. Someone mentioned smoked paprika and I recently saw hot paprika when I was shopping.
Can anyone compare the three of these to something I might be familiar with? Like, the hot paprika could go anywhere. I love the "hotness" of pepperoncino or jalapeno but really dislike chili flakes and chili powder. Referring to something as "hot" can refer to flavour or bite or kick or spice. I'm interested in the smokey version, though.

I am as well
That's why I was so surprised. We're usually on the same page

Yeah well, I'm not surprized at all.
See, thing is you are only about a 3 on the scale of 'Leftist pieces of ****'
Sam is a solid 10. So much so in fact that I consider it at least 50% possible that "sam" is actually just another conman sock.
Because if it is even theortically possible to reach an
11
on a scale that absolutely positively can NEVER go higher than 10… conman would be the goon-ass twink bastard who did it.

Well, that's a bummer. It doesn't give the food at least a slight smokey flavour?
Have you ever heard of liquid smoke? It's one of those flavourings you can add to foods to (allegedly) give it a bit of a BBQ type of taste.

liquid smoke is kinda gross when compared to the real thing 🤮
so the moral is, don't ever eat real food
regarding paprika; it's made from bell peppers. you can even make your own by drying them. you can use sweet peppers or not. you can roast them, or not. you can add whatever profiles you like. and they do not have to be from hungary -

I have liquid smoke, but have never used it. I don't cook very much.
Maybe I don't put enough paprika in the food. I bought the smoked version for a French fry recipe that called for that and malt vinegar.

I used it once and absolutely hated it! I may have added too much, too little, or just didn't use it right, but it tasted more like chemicals than giving anything resembling a "smoked" flavour.
One of the reasons I use paprika a lot with baking certain foods, is that
that
is what actually provides a toasty, sweet and almost caramelized taste and texture.

Maybe I'm not using enough of it. Usually I'll just sprinkle a little bit on deviled eggs or french fries. I don't really even taste it.
How much of it do you use in a recipe?

I apply it pretty liberally. It adds flavour but also causes browning and crisping. On my sweet potatoes, it even causes a little caramelization.
