what kind of asian are we talking here thats not specific enough

sorta pan-asiatic

not quite a 'hey what are you doing here round-eye'-stare (not racist, it happens) everytime you turn a corner, but most of the workers and patrons are chinese, vietnamese, or indian, or cosmopolitian white people

oh, and whole cardamom is usually available at those places significantly cheaper than western grocery stores, it's a really versatile spice

you sir/ma'am are a genius :)

i use it with pork and it's very nice on top of rice pudding or in tea, and we just ran out
