colcannon is wonderful. it's a traditional lughnasadh food (http://www.celticspirit.org/lughnasadh.htm). well, traditional in our family. death to the red hag, indeed!
as for cardamom, it's an indian spice in the ginseng family. it's sold in pod form (these are the fruit of the plant; you want green pods), seeds (from the pod), or ground (ground up seeds). i buy green pods in the bulk section at the whole foods market, then crush them to extract the seeds. for chai, i just crush the pods and toss 'em into the teapot/infuser with the tea.
