It's mentioned in more than one book, as he's always restocking.
Probably gotta read the series a few more times. I know I didn't
start noticing details till the 2nd/3rd read thru, as you spend the
1st couple times jes trying to comprehend all those Limey terms.
It's can be offensively strong in its fresh ground form, but I don't
really mind it, as it smells like a good Indian restaurant. A lot of
Indian homes reek of it, they using it so often in cooking. It becomes
a permenent house smell. That and the stink of raising chickens in
the bathtub!

I assumed Gloria was referring to the "rural south" of the United

As others have mentioned, it's fairly common in Indian cooking.
The first time I encountered it, I was in a nice gourmet store in New Jersey,
across the country from my home in California. I purchased a small tin of the
stuff - a little goes a LONG way. They kindly wrapped the container in two
layers of plastic sheeting. I put it in my luggage when I flew back to
California.
Upon arrival, the little cannister was still intact and wrapped in plastic.
The luggage smelled intensely of asafoetida. This is strong stuff!
