SC - Grains of Paradise - question for Aussies

[CBlackwill at aol.com]

Oh, you can get the Grains of Paradise, allright...you just may have to break 
a few import laws to get them (but, you know us Americans...we're 
import-restriction-rebels)
Truthfully, I have no clue as to why the Grains would be prohibited in 
Australia (aside from their use in Gin, which is reason in itself to prohibit 
them)  I will, however, look into this subject further. Living in a state 
which has very strict agricultural import laws (California), I may be able to 
contact our local cooperative extension to get some more info.  I'll keep the 
list aprised of my efforts.

Out of curiosity, though, what recipe are you using which calls for grains of 
paradise?  I am a professional chef in the mundane world, and have had very 
limited call for them in any of my work.  I am always looking to expabd my 
horizons, though.
