Since duck is currently relatively inexpensive (e.g., I bought 2 fresh ducks 
this evening at Giant for 1.49/LB), I was wondering if you could possibly 
forward me the Fezanjan recipe either to the list for others who may be 
interested or privately? 

I seldom do 'traditional' things like turkey or ham on a holiday and am doing 
a duck this year. I also picked up a couple of pomegranates (expensive) so 
the Persian duck recipe would be ideal. All of the recipes appearing in Bon 
Appetite, Gourn=met, Martha Stewart and a couple of other magazines are 
posted each month to a high volume recipe list that I subscribe to but 'The 
Herb Companion' is not one of them. :-( The other duck I am going to use in a 
period recipe that I have yet to find. :_)

As a side note, I noticed that even though this is quince season, quinces 
were double the price of last year (e.g., 1.49 each). Is this exorbitant 
price increase evident in other areas of the USA or even other countries? If 
so, does any one know the reason why? Although drought hit our area, apples 
were less expensive than normal during season. Quinces grow under the same 
conditions as apples and are closely related so I am personally at a loss to 
explain this phenomenon.
