I know I could make it myself but I've bought it in the past.
Unfortunately, I do not remember where! It is used in Szechuan dishes but
the local Chinese stores stop talking English when asked about it :-) At
best, the reaction is a bit like a French grocer being asked asked about,
say, five-spice powder: "Il n'existe pas!"

Has anyone any idea about what type of ethnic stores I should be
searching?

I have found dried orange peel in Indian stores, but not recently - as well
as dried lemon peel. I've not seen any lately, so

I have started buying the whole orange slices (organic, maybe) in Trader
Joe's. They have the peel intact with the inside, but one could use just
the peel - in a pinch. Or perhaps the whole slice, depending on what you
are making. I put it in with cranberries and apples.
