It Tastes Like Licorice

This reminds me of the first time that I met the husband's family... We went for Thanksgiving and we were having snacks before dinner. There was a vegetable platter and I picked up some celery and dipped it in some dip, then I took a bite. It wasn't celery--it was fennel*. Frankly, I'm still mad at the husband for not warning me.

*which does not taste good with dip.
