I have ammonium carbonate in a weensy jar down in my cupboard; I get it from my local Very Fancy Foods and Italian Deli store (the one out of which I invariably emerge with one. small. bag worth $50...) It is packaged by Red Club...

Leeks, of course. National symbol! (They're even on the Welsh version of the pound coin... each region/country of the UK has its own pound coin.)
