Thai snacks - Paprika

Paprika is a name of a type of chili. It is also the name of a Thai snack. I will tell you about Paprika as a snack in this entry. Paprika has been very popular in Thailand for more than ten years.

It is a deep fry potato powder. It said supposedly <em>(best word I thought of)</em> it is seasoned with paprika chili but it tastes more like black peppers. For me, it doesn't taste chili at all. Anyway, I like it because it is very pleasant to eat.

There were Two new flavors came out two months ago. I don't remember their name but one of them has more paprika chili inside the package and the other doesn't use paprika but use difference seasoning.

It costs around 30 cents (10 baht) in Thailand but it sells at $3 in the United States. I think it is much more expensive in the United States because of the transportation cost.

Note:

Supposedly /səˈpōzidlē/ <em>Adverb</em>: According to what is generally assumed or believed (often used to indicate that the speaker doubts the truth of the statement).

I have not had the chance to try this snack before, I will look next time I get to visit.
