Hmm... I've got smoked paprika. It's pretty popular in Spanish cooking. They wood-smoke the herb before grinding, so I'd imagine the same would be done with smoked cumin.

I live in Las Vegas. I know what Buttermilk is, so I imagine that most other people from here would know what it is... The reason I called ahead is, because I've been to two grocers, and they didn't have any buttermilk. On the shelf or listed. I think it just depends on how they stock their dairy section, I guess. However it's likely that the person I spoke to on the phone didn't know what I was talking about. Either way, I appreciate all everyone's help, and if I just can't find buttermilk, I can make my own.

Hmm. I love paprika (which I'm convinced is 80% of the colonel's special recipe). What sort of dishes do you use the smoked version for, or is it heavily ethnic stuff?
ViolentDove:
I know it definitely goes well with fish and lamb, but as for traditional Spanish dishes I'll have to ask my housemate. I most frequently use it for making spiced chickpeas (basically you bake chickpeas with a bit of olive oil until they're crunchy and then roll them in your own spice-mix. It's kind've like a morrocan substitute for potato chips or something, I guess, and it's awesome)
The flavour is really quite strong, so you don't need very much of it.
