Fennel
There are two giant fennel plants in my yard. I don't actually like to eat fennel. I just like to pet it.
See? It's so soft and fuzzy and such a pretty color. Too bad it tastes like licorice. I haven't been able to tolerate that since the infamous Licorice Incident of '89.

The bulb is less licorice-y than the foliage. I tried it again after many years and found that it was good, especially when you pan fry it and get some caramelizeation going on. It has more of an anise flavor when steamed.
Really? I'll have to try that--thanks!
Holy moly, that was a lot of licorice back in 1989.
