Is szechuan pepper still banned from importation? Why?
I used my last few grains last night and now I have NONE. It is an
essential ingredient to one of my favorites - chicken and cashews
(with hoisin and szechuan pepper).

Does anyone know a source. Black market?? Anyone have a stockpile
and would be willing to share? Anyone have a relative coming in from
Asia who would smuggle some in for me? Know of a "dealer" in Asia?
