 _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 vegetable that borscht was originally made out of.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
