Fennel

While putting away the veggies tonight I figured I would pull out the fennel from week two, since the time was probably ticking on this one.
I read online, and my friend Sandy, suggested to just slice up the fennel, and dip it in some olive oil to munch on. Perfect -no stove needed.

Repost of the pickup photo : The fennel is hiding behind the strawberries 

Not much from the little bulb.

I was not super impressed. It was like a cross between celery and ??? I don't know. It had a faint lickerace taste , not as strong as I was fearing.

I was munching on this while Stella was eating her dinner and she REALLY wanted some. She ate three whole pieces. This makes fennel a more likely candidate for me to pick up again!
