[Mick-Talbot]

I have just bought one.


erm ......what do I do with it?

[NoMercy]

Fennel?

[bigfoot3000]

A fennel?

[sandyRoe]

Use in salads or slice it about 1/8 inch thick and steam it.

[ummmm]

Cook like most veg...boil, steam or roast.

I don't like it :0(

can i make pernon out of it?
I will be banging it in a curry I think, just to make use of it.

[bigfoot3000]

I've never tasted it, so it tastes like blackjacks? How odd!

[ummmm]

I was going to advise you to throw it in the bin. I don't like it either.

[ummmm]

A mild version bob.

[Mick-Talbot]

can I use corned beef instead of the tuna steak Nomercy and lager instead of sherry?

[NoMercy]

You can do, Mick... but I cannot vouch for your stomach the next day.

[Mick-Talbot]

it gets worse, is this aubergine meant to have seeds all the way through it?

[NoMercy]

Mick... is there a Chinese or Indian near you?

[Mick-Talbot]

no just another englishman Nomercy.

[NoMercy]

Do you like crispy bacon, Mick?

[Mick-Talbot]

[ummmm]

Yes they will.
