You don't cook this on an Egg. New to me and I like it for a snack. Never had befor yesterday but have seen it.

Seen this as a drink in Mexico, had no idea where it came from, so what does it taste like?Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Bitter, but not real bitter @Skiddymarker. I think it may take mind off ( or hoping) donuts.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

You use the tamarindo paste in making worcestershire sauce.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

It is sweet & sour. Used a lot in South Indian cooking as well as Jamaican cooking. This fruit imparts a tart taste to the spicy curries. If you have eaten a lentil soup in an Indian restaurant, this is one of the ingredients used.LBGE & MiniOrlando, FL

I believe tamarind is a crucial Indian ingredient. Used to sweeten dishes...IE tamarind paste?

Interesting! Does it taste like worcey sauce?Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Sometimes I use tamarind paste instead of lime/lemon juice in indian/thai dishes. Gives it a deeper flavor. Tamarind water is pretty good too. Looks weird, but tastes good.Dunedin, FL

Eat them lots in Mexico. Peel them, cover in tajin, and eat, spit out the seed. Tastes like a thick sweet/sour date or fig. Don't eat too many, unless you need too. It would be like eating too many dates...+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer.

Tamarind paste is a great addition to barbecue sauce.

This is used also one of main ingredients in many southeast asian dishes such as tom yum soup, "sayur asem" (malaysian/indonesian soup dish), etc.

We use them in various dishes. It's a PITA to get the meat off the seed so we buy the paste now. I think we still have some in the fridge...

You can get this in seedless blocks at Asian stores that you soak and them put through a strainer. Wonderful distinctive sour taste. Mickey, those pods look like they are dried. The fresh pods I can get aren't light brown. ... Essential ingredient in a lot of Vietnamese food and, I believe, one of the key "umami" elements. I can get them fresh in Latino stores but have always opted for the Asian blocks.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia
