[Sca-cooks] plea for help-- Soup for the Qan

I believe carp is traditionally used for gefilte fish, so if you can 
find a fishmonger in a primarily Jewish part of town, they may have it.

> No asafoetida, and the clerks had no idea of what i was talking about.


Try an Indian grocery.  Or you should be able to find it on the 
internet.  If all else fails, put out a plea here and someone could send 
you some - my local health food store carries it, for instance.

> No dried orange peel, of whatever nationality. 


Couldn't you dry your own?  You could do it in an oven, or borrow a food 
dehydrator.
