A paprika museum, that sounds cool! When I was a kid my grandma sometimes made goulash, a dish which was new in the Netherlands then, originating from Hungary and containing paprika :-)
Seeing the Hungarian stamp reminds me of my father's travel to Hungary, ages ago (I was a teen then). He returned home with a large bag full of small paprikas his host had given to him (paprika is also a Dutch word, meaning sweet pepper). He had so many paprikas with him that we were wondering what to do with them all. Then we had a solution, we thought 'let's make soup of it'. So we did. Put all the paprikas into the pan. And when the soup was ready, we served it. And then we tasted it for the very first time... The red paprikas didn't taste paprika-like. They burned our mouths because... they were hot peppers :-)
Oooh a paprika museum, I like a niche museum.

Oh, that's a good story! :DDD
DeleteWe steer clear of paprikas due to a mouth searing experience when we should have known better. Much safer with the stamp.
ReplyDeleteLuckily for us, stamps are completely safe :)
