Interesting. In my recent pass at the local Savory Spice Shop, trying
to figure out the dimensions of the hallowed spice, I did in fact buy a
jar of Spanish Paprika based solely on it smell. I've yet to use it. I
got the Aleppo pepper that same day.

What else do you use the Spanish stuff on where it's a major player?
