It's kind of "sweet but sour too". Very nice. I tend to use sweet smoked paprika in savoury baked stuff, piquante in risottos, rice dishes and stir fries, and hot in Chilli (along with chillies). As with all smoked paprika, use sparingly!
Just looked at ocado's prices. You're talking about the Bart's £ 1.69 for 45g effort??
well, my veggie paella which I used it in was frikkin delicious...
ummmm, and yes, that will have been the one that I bought... I assume I have been ripped off?
i found it hard to find pretty much everywhere though.... *sigh* oh well, the smoked paprika houmous I made was pretty lush too

^This.
Why are you asking a load of urbanites what he can eat?
Ask him, surely? He must know a lot recipes for meals if can eat. Or has he gone from gf to gf successively pissing them off with his dietary requirements, insisting that they adhere to them but just sitting back and expecting to be cooked for without any input or help from him, just the odd bit of criticism to contribute to the pot when someone inadvertently cooks something containing a forbidden ingredient?
ummmm, wow, blimey.... oh deary me...
thing is, I love his little non-tomato-eating-cotton-socks..... and I like cooking
sometimes I just wish I could open a jar of pasta sauce when I can't be arsed. those nights just tend to be nice he cooks egg fried rice instead

Well fair enough, he did seem a nice bloke so tolerate his little ways eh?
I'd be trying to get into Asian cooking if I were you.
Indian, Thai, Malaysian, Chinese, Japanese - none of these go heavy on the tomatoes (I know a many Indian curries have a tomato base but equally many don't).
I know 'curry' or 'stir fry' can seem a bit dull and limiting, but it might be worth buying some recipe books for inspiration on ways to inject more variety. Building up a supply of all the required spices, seasonings etc can be a bit off-putting at first, but you've certainly got an incentive to persevere!

Next time have a butchers on e-bay. I got a 3-pack (one of each variety) of 80g tins for £7 incl p & p, which saves about £4 o the price you paid.
I bet you find yourself trying it in stuff you wouldn't previously have bothered with too (remembers Greebo doing a "salt and shake" with pimenton in packet of crisps
)!E2A: The piquant one is lovely lightly dusted on scrambled eggs, too!

Do you ever buy sausages straight from the butcher?
If you do, you're eating a mix of about 50/50 pork belly and pork shoulder.
Mind you, I had a mate who loved pork belly, especially marinaded in a bbq sauce before cooking, right up until he found a pig nipple on one of his slices. Put the wimp right off!!
