If you like the flavour of aniseed, you will like fennel

Here's the general idea about what it looks like. Best to inquire,
but once you know what you're looking for - you'll continue to
recognize it.

IMO, it's a very, very mild flavor. I do NOT like black licorice
['licorice candy' is made with Anise and NOT from Liquorice root in
United States], but I do like fennel bulb - even raw (in a salad) and
of course, I like the fennel flavor (powdered/ground or whole seeds)
in Italian sausage.

Ahh. I think I have seen that and thought it was something else. Never
bought any.

Thank you!
