[Sca-cooks] Herby things

[Samrah]

Thus spake William de Grandfort:

>Here in Sunny So-Cal (Bakersfield), we don't really have the opportunity to >come face-to-face with anything more exotic than 'toasted sesame seeds'. 

Oh yes we do!  It is just the infamous scavenger hunt! 
Replied privately. Didn't want to bore the list with street directions.  If anyone else in Bakersfield, CA has difficulty finding spices, please let me know.  I know for sure we have all but a couple items, and they may be available as well I just haven't foraged for them recently.

And he continued with his shopping list:

>True Cinnamon (bulk, so I can buy only the number of sticks I need)
>Whole nutmeg (believe it or not, I simply can't find it here)
>Long Pepper (by the ounce)
>Cubeb (by the ounce)
>Galingal (either fresh or dried, by the knob)
>Grains of Paradise (by the ounce)
>Cardamom pods (another common item I have a hard time finding)
>Star anise
