Well they are real and they sell them on Amazon in the UK and are about £4.50 per 500gms. try the Nut shop on the seafront by the harbour they seem to have every variety.

Tiger nuts are used by Carp fisherman in the main as a bait and attractant.
In addition they are also popular for human consumption.
No ridicule from me.
