The tamarind candy you describe sounds like something a person from this
list shared with me about a year ago.  She lived in Texas, I believe, and
said the sweet was really popular there.  It was wonderful.  I tried to get
the tamarind seeds to sprout with no luck.  They are covered with a shiny,
hard "shell" which I was able to get to split and remove by keeping them in
a wet paper towel for a week or so.  But, then, I wasn't sure how to plant
them and nothing grew.  Anyway...I would love to get more of this great
stuff.  Sorry I can't remember the name of the generous chile-head to mailed
them to me.
