So: Tamarind. Some people know about it, some people don't. But even if you've never heard of it, you've probably eaten it. It's in Worcestershire sauce and some bloody mary mixes (at least Zing Zang). It's also used to flavor some curries. And for the most part that's been the extent of my experience with it for the past decade or so: making Massaman Curry. Lately I've been trying to become more familiar with it, primarily in the form of candies. But this past week I had the chance to pick up a box of the actual fruit, so I thought I'd share a little bit.
