SC - spice merchants

[Stefan li Rous]

Caroline asked:
>A friend has just asked me about grains of paradise-what it is, and
>where to get it. I told her we had discussed it on this list, and it
>occured to me that I have not seen the list of spice merchants that has
>been discussed. Would it be possible to get a copy?

I sent Caroline a copy of my spices-msg file which contains the info she
was asking for.
