Haaa well I love all veggies-sort of. They have to be cooked right- nice and crispy still, not like the boiled mush that mum and her generation thought that they needed to be....and which made me HATE HATE HATE veggies for such a long time- in fact I remember the day that I actually fell in love with them for the first time.
It was in 1992- early 20's, I needed something for lunch at work and I walked around till I just sort of followed that gorgeous Chinese cooking smell into a shop and saw the cooks frying up veggies in a wok and thought, now they actually look pretty good and so got some- nice and CRISPY and that plain dish- I think just Garlic with veggies changed my life- well atleast my perspective of veggies anyway...I grew up in a very small country town and we only had a few pubs and in them were Chinese restaurants and mum and dad used to buy takeaway Chinese every Friday night but I didn't like it and so just at the Prawns crackers, prawn cutlet and maybe some fried rice, so it was not only a discovery of veggies, but also Chinese food too...( I'm a late bloomer...π€£..)
And fennel is one of those herbs that I don't mind too much- in something...lol...
