Origin & History
Paprika is a signature flavour in our Germany, Netherlands and Poland guides, and German Wikipedia notes that flavoured chips commonly use spices such as paprika. We haven’t found a reliable source for who sold the first paprika chip or when, so we don’t give one. Paprika chips are much less common in the UK and US, which is why expats often hunt for them online.
