In Vietnam, we have tamarind candies, both sour kind and sweet kind. I like the sweet kind better. It's coated with sugar. I haven't had one since I was a kid. They sell them at the asian store here but they don't taste the same. But I do buy my mangoes at the asian store instead of the regular supermarket. The mangoes at the regular supermarket is green and not ripe. Even when you take them home and allow them to ripe, they are not sweet.

Here is a photo of a fruit stand in Vietnam. Fresh fruits everywhere. You can buy a whole bagful for about 10 cents!
