Was reading Luke's mango chutney recipe and it again hit me that I can't
find tamarind anywhere in the territory.  Does anyone have a source for it
and does it arrive fresh, preserved, pickled, candied?  Someone in Texas
sent me some chile-tamarind candy once that was great but, of course, can't
find it in the great frozen US midwest.

Help appreciated.  I even tried to germinate the seeds that came in the
candy...great brown shiny buggers...but they wouldn't sprout even after I
peeled the hard outer covering off.
