August is turning out to be a difficult month for this blogger. There are two obstacles - getting online at all (I won't say where your correspondent is, but Sarkozy's daft rules for WiFi access are a right pain) - and finding anything to write about.
I have discovered that Peru's exports of paprika have risen by 50% in the last quarter, with prices up by 13% over the same period. There is a clear reason. It is now the garnish of choice in the sort of aspirational-but-not-quite-getting-there restaurants I'm currently using, sprinkled over the rim of plates in the manner of primary school powder paint, whether the dish is fish, fowl or tete de veau. Grim.
