Boy, Bug, that sounds good. I'm with Jimmy and would like more info!
You know, recently I spoke of this jarred spice I got, Simply Organic Grinder Citrus A'peel. It's kind of pricey (like all spices) and runs about $7.50 for a 2.5 oz. good sized jar, but I ordered it online for around $5.89 or so. It has a nice adjustable grinder mechanism on top which will grind finely or coarsely, and consists of: organic sesame seed, organic orange peel, organic lemon peel, organic garlic, organic onion, organic parsley, organic coriander, and organic fennel seed.
It's not a strong flavor and initially, I thought it would be lost if used while cooking and we just used it on top of a plate of something. But we've both kind of gotten addicted to the stuff. Thinking of Joe, it would also serve as a very decent tasting salt substitute, too, though it doesn't taste salty. Just tastes really good (kind of fresh tasting, too), and a very interesting flavor. We use it on top of bagels and cream cheese and it really adds a certain something. It's kosher, too (I like kosher stuff 'cause I know it's made in a clean environment and in a watched over manner).
I didn't know if you saw my initial mention of it so I figured I'd mention it again. Like I said, it's not a very strong flavor but evidently, we're not the only ones who like it. I logged onto Amazon not so long ago and there are just tons of stellar reviews of the stuff. I now plan to start using it more while cooking. We both used it on top of our breaded sautéed chicken recently, as well as some pork tenderloin and it was very good and suitable on top of each. Read some reviews and see if you'd like to give it a try.
