SC - A question

[Varju at aol.com]

Greetings all!

Since we have been discussing the sources for a variety of foods I was
curious if anyone could add to my knowledge about paprika.   According to my
sources, the Turks introduced paprika to Hungary during their occupation.
 The Turkish occupation occured after the Battle of Mohacs in 1526.  Doea
this make paprika period for Hungarian cuisine only?  Where did the Turks get
paprika?
