[Sca-cooks] Outlandish Seige contest - galangal seed?!

[M+D: Mary and Doug Piero Carey]

Someone said that the small black seed was galangal?  Oooh, where 
they'd get galingal SEED?  I've only ever handled it as root or as 
powder!  The roots I've had look like seriously shriveled ginger, & 
the powder has been very similar in color to yellow mustard powder.
