A little bit of Hungary

It was good to see, that some of our things that we're so proud of is available even in California, and that is our beloved paprika. I found two sources.

One is in Sprouts Farmer's Market, where you can by your spices to measure out:


At Safeway you can even buy it packaged. It claims to come from Szeged, so it supposed to be one of the finest (the pörkölt (description) is already cooking, let's see how it passes the test):

And IKEA also counts Hungarian as one of the world's languages:



BTW if you plan to bake bejgli (click here if you want to now what it is) for Christmas go to Smart & Final. They have poppy seeds in a 425g packaging and it is not that expensive. I paid a bit less then $3. Considering that poppy seed here is a spice it is hard to find generous packaging for a reasonable price. It seems Smart & Final will be my source for spices for now on. It is half as expensive as anything else I've found so far.
