I'm after coriander seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds etc.
All I seem to be able to find in seed form is cumin.
Any pointers would be great.

Any supermarket. Any Pakistanis shop. I recommend the Shah on Abbeydale Road. They have everything and are friendly to whities.
Cheers for that.
I tried Asda at Handsworth last night, all that had in seed form was cumin.

any asian/ethnic grocers, try london road
The shops on spital hill do a good range of these spice but you can also sometimes find them in morrisons and other supermarkets but you need to look on the ethnic sections rather than with the 'normal' herbs and spices. When you find somewhere that sells them can I recommend that you also buy kalonji [otherwise known as black onion seeds] they are lovely in a curry with fenugreek.

Dump the supermarkets when it comes to spices.
Not sure where you are but look for little ethnic grocers. There are plenty on all sides of the city now.
Which ever is nearest there are places at London Road, Darnall, Spital Hill, Fir Vale and the Wicker to name a few.
In Sheffield I like Al Zahir on Carlisle street as it stocks a good range, is easy to park and is open in the evenings.

The health food shop on Sharrowvale road and Zeds in Nether Edge do them :-)

but if you're considering going to Zed's, go round the corner instead and get them from Pop's for half the price

Try online.. I have purchased spices through ebay and they were good.. or maybe a shop called Pak Stores in Rotherham (according to my friend Arshid who was a curry chef.. even cooked for Charles and Di years ago!)
