The mirror's idea of 'news' is publishing a tweet from someone confused about what paprika is. Next up a hard hitting expose on people who didn't know pencil lead is graphite. I smell a Pulitzer!

Wait until they find out there's no such thing as baby carrots, only deformed or damaged carrots that are factory-whittled down to 'baby carrot' shapes.

It amuses me that the huge profit margins on baby carrots has led to 'pretty' carrots being pared down for baby carrots. I guess the leavings go into carrot purees. I hope so, anyway.

I generally keep my paprika in vats. Not to be confused with my vats of radioactive waste that I dangle the Dynamic Duo over when they try to foil my criminal schemes.
Chances are that you'll have a pot or two of paprika in the back of your cupboard, with the spicy seasoning being a surefire way to add a little extra heat to a dish.
But there is no species of paprika pepper.

And most british words that are unique to the island are unique because no one else was dumb enough to even consider using them.
So let us know when you brits stop using stones as a valid unit of weight
