_Food and Drink in Medieval Poland_ (just out, I'm SOOO happy!) mentions
three ingredients that I have no idea how to get or get seeds for:
Alexanders (Smyrnium olustratum)-- which is supposed to be something like
angelica
Skirrets (Sium sisarum) which is a root vegetable
and
European Cow Parsnip (Heracleum sphondylium) which is apparently the root
vegetable that borscht was originally made out of.
Can anybody point me to any supplier that might have seeds or supplies of
any of these?

I don't remember specifically about the others, but Nichol's has the
skirret seeds, along with Good King Henry (a spinach-like green), both of
which I'd love to try when I have the space--GKH, at least, needs a permanent
bed, and I think the skirrets may, too....... Nichol's is at: <A
