Am I alone in thinking paprika has a flavor profile and heat index similar to smoked sawdust?

Seriously, why do people talk about paprika like it’s almost cayenne pepper hot? I find it bland and dull in flavor…like it takes more away from a dish than it adds 🤔🤷‍♂️

Paprika in western grocery stores is quite different from paprika from Budapest.

I've had a paprika dish at an Eastern European restaurant, and it was pretty hot and quiet tasty.

@DrWatson Maybe that’s it. I’ve tried a few different brands, but all from US makers.
