Who likes fennel seeds? Because I got a hold of an organic bunch of them and wow, I just love these things. I eat them after meals to aid digestion. I'm also excited blitz them into a powder, for a lovely licorice-style cookie/biscuit/cracker thing-a-ma-jig (as I have decided yet for sure).
Friday Question: Do you like fennel seed, bulb and/or feathery leaves? And if so, how do you like to eat yours? If I get my little oven mitts on a nice full fennel this weekend, I'm gonna slice it for a nice crisp raw treat.
PS: This makes post 1414 :-) I love the number 4.
I love fennel seeds in casseroles and stews. I also like fennel bulbs for salads.
ReplyDeleteYum. I can see it working well in both of those.
DeleteNever had the seeds, but I sure would like to grow them. I love licorice. Husband doesn't like fennel. I love it. Hope you are doing well and Happy Thanksgiving ahead of time.:)
ReplyDeleteThe seeds are heavenly. Like you, I'd like to grow them as well.
DeleteHappy Christmas :-)
I love cookies or baking with a licorice or anise flavour. I'm not sure if I've ever had that flavour from fennel seeds or not though.
ReplyDeleteThey're like eating little JellyBellies but only better. If I could, I'd teleport you a few.
DeleteCongrats on 1414 posts! I am not too familiar with fennel.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's so yummy. Whatcha been cooking up for your hubby these days?
DeleteI gag on fresh fennel back in the day!
ReplyDeleteThat's not good.
DeleteWe just had lunch at our favorit Indian Restaurant and as always had the fennel seeds as we left. So good.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
That's the best. We just finished supper with fennel seeds as well. Great stuff.
DeleteHow was your meal and what did you get?
Its the seed of the devil, burn it now!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're funny.
DeleteEww. Hate fennel anything. Makes me gag.
ReplyDeleteOh man, that's no good.
DeleteI love fennel. It's a great taste for cookies and cakes, and I also use them when I make homemade Italian sausage. YUM!
ReplyDeleteThat all sounds good.
DeleteI with you I like fennel. I love it in Italian sausage. I grew fennel in my garden a couple of years ago and it makes a nice salad. I have a fennel and apple salad recipe on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI can see the fennel and apple being a refreshing pair. I don't eat pig sausage so I was going to make an organic chicken sausage with the fennel. Very cool that you grew it a couple of years ago. Must have been heavenly to have it so fresh.
DeleteWot? No prize this time?
ReplyDeleteYes, I like to eat a few fennel seeds on the way past the plant in my garden.
Love the Christmas lights, never too early for Christmas lights.
My bad. My mind has been elsewhere. I award you three stinky socks and two broken lightbulbs.
DeleteThanks very much.
DeleteHope your mind was in a good place elsewhere.
I don't think I've ever tried fennel. I LOVE your holiday look for you blog. Very neat.
ReplyDeleteThanks. At the house we go straight from Oogie Boogie to Ho-Ho-Ho. Just needed my blog to catch up.
DeleteYes, fennel is a favourite in our house ... and I love your new header.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks. I've changed it again since your comment. Hope you're having a yummy day and are finding treats that fit your hubby's health condition.
DeleteI've never heard of fennel seeds!
ReplyDeleteThey are soooo yummy.
