Well identified, that man !

Thanks!!

Brought 2 bags back along with some other odd spices, local cardamons are an odd one too, the husk is very paperish and round, they smell and taste like regular cardamon but less pungent. Vanilla was a good buy at ?4 for a packet of 30.
I'll get some ground up to pop in my soup
