Tamarind goes nicely with carrots, should anyone want to use tamarind anyway!

I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Here, tamarind (in a jar) is a specialty item. You have to go looking for it. It’s not at the local Kroger.
As it's a very common ingredient in Asian, Mideast and Mex cooking it's usually available in those grocery stores and now also very commonly available to order online - even ebay and Walmart have the concentrate in jars, dried/powdered and pouch packaging.
