Hungry Hungary in spice crisis
Hungary stopped sales of paprika last week after finding a batch contaminated with aflatoxin. This is a big deal in Hungary: they export 5 tons of it a year, restaurants are having to scrap about half their menu offerings, and individual Hungarians (who consume an average of more than a pound of paprika a year) are struggling to figure out what to make for dinner.
I'm well stocked, thankfully. And I've been considering an experiment to see if my great-grandmother's chicken paprikash recipe is adaptable to Quorn...
