Did you know that I used to be a smoker? I just passed my one year non-smoker anniversary. One of the things I have noticed since I stopped smoking is that I taste more, and taste diferently. I no longer taste just the top tones of a spice or flavor, but the undertones and aftertastes as well. It’s kind of interesting to know now that most of my life I wasn’t tasting what I ate. Which is kind of amusing, considering how much I love to eat, LOL!
I called this paprika eureka is that the first spice I re-discovered was paprika, and I was reminded of that when I wrote my review of The Spice Merchant’s Daughter today.
Consider this post the cyber equivalent of me passing around the bottle and saying taste this! Try it in dry beans, on chicken and fish, and also on popcorn!

I think that is why people gain weight when they quit smoking…. everything tastes better so you go get seconds!
