Sehnsucht (German pronunÂ­ciaÂ­tion: [ËzeËnËzÊxt]) is a German noun translated as longing, pining, yearning, or craving, or in a wider sense a type of intensely missing. However, Sehnsucht is difficult to translate adequately and describes a deep emotional state. Its meaning is somewhat similar to the Portuguese word saudade, or the Romanian word dor. Sehnsucht is a compound word, originating from an ardent longing or yearning (das Sehnen) and a long or lingering illness (das Siechtum).
Paprika is always made from peppers that are dried then ground down into a powder, but this process, and the type of peppers used, can vary hugely. Hungarian paprika comes in six different varieties, from the more delicate KÃ¼lÃ¶nleges to Eros, which is fiery and hot. Grown mostly in the south of the country, Hungaryâs favourite spice crops up in all sorts of dishes â itâs that unmistakably intense underpinning flavour in a hearty goulash, or vibrant hum of heat and spice in the aptly-named chicken paprikash.
The recent darling of food fanatics everywhere has been Spanish smoked paprika, or pimentÃ³n. Unlike Hungarian-grown paprika, in which the peppers are slowly sun-dried, pimentÃ³n is slowly smoked over a fire, imparting an unbelievably rich and smokey flavor.
