That “Pride of Szeged” brand is the one that is most common around here in grocery stores (besides the generic and imported paprikas.) It’s a good baseline paprika. Like I said above, if you have a Penzey’s or Spice House near you or if you mail order from them, both their Hungarian sweet paprika and California paprika are also excellent. All of Penzey’s paprikas are excellent. We have them all in the pantry, along with a red can of Szeged. The right paprika can take a dish from adequate to outstanding. ---
