Ahh, sweet tamarind. Being a country mouse, this is something I never experienced until I moved to San Francisco and had access to Mexican snacks. The first time I tasted tamarind it was in the form of a sticky pulp formed onto a long stick and rolled in sugar. YES! I gnawed on that thing like there was no tomorrow. After that I branched out into other tamarindo snacks: Jarritos, popsicles, aqua frescas. All of the above ruled me. To this day I don't think there's anything quite as refreshing as a tamarind popsicle...tart, sweet and brown.
