[Sca-cooks] Re:Citrons

        Someone must still be growing them...not only can you get candied 
citron in those nasty little boxes (always dried-out and bitter) but they are 
used in a ritual for the Jewish holiday of Succott, the citron being called 
'essrog'.  Many very fine and beautiful ones are imported from Israel around 
--um--early fall.  My landlord the rabbi assures me that it is not only proper but 
good and respectful to make the fruit into something edible afterwards, rather 
than just discarding it.

yeah, yeah. I know that it's January, and early fall is a long long time 
away.
