LOL because I buy any Indian spices that I can get my hands on, which isn't loads as I live in Spain. Yes I do buy all the spices that I do need on line but picked these two packets up and didn't know what they were for. Now that I know they are laxatives might come in handy some time lol ::)

Oh, I really don't think you need to worry too much about buying laxatives if you're eating decent curries (or, especially, crap ones!)!  ;)

Living in Spain + eating curry = no need for laxatives, Immodium maybe!
