The Great Debate

[Zomber_Jesus]

I had no idea they weren't actively called paprika in the english speaking world because apparently the native English speakers I met in Europe adapted to our use without much discussion. I was taught the word paprika comes from hungarian but I'm sceptical because the Turks introduced it to Europe. In any case I think some bits got lost in translation on the word's way to England so it just got conflated with pepper, the spice, except in those cases where it is used as a spice itself
