Fennel seeds make a very pleasant tea.

Also a very good cure for wind.
And if you have a dog whose diet makes him whiffy and windy, half a teaspoon of fennel seeds in his dinner every day will keep him fit for pleasant society.

I don't know. I've never had one. Had plenty of dogs.

My experiment is at a bit of a standstill at the moment.
I am still 'Freezzer feasting' which makes for some rather weird meals.Combining freezer feaating with Meatless Monday yesterday made for an interesting meal. 
Out of the back of the cupboard I dragged a Fray Bentos Vegetable Balti tinned pie which must have been in there about a year. With it I had Cauliflower cheese along with a meatless chilli and rice that somehow had sneaked it's way into the freexer!
I went shopping with Daughter on Saturday but couldn't find any yellow stickered stuff of interest so will have to stick with freezer and allotment stuff for the time being.
