Americans don't usually use paprika for its flavor. In fact, the common ways it is used won't bring out the delicate hot sweetness of it. Americans also have a tendency to pronoun the word wrong too, putting an a' in between the second p' and the r' (Pap-a-ri-ka). There isn't that middle a' (Pa-pri-ka).
