FENNEL


This is FENNEL. I know what you’re thinking. Fennel is undoubtedly gay. But it’s not so easy to judge the homosexual (male) qualities of fennel.

LaRousse Gastronomique describes fennel this way:

FENNEL. Fenouil—An aromatic flowering umbelliferous plant of Italian origin which is now widely cultivated. It has a slight flavour of aniseed.

It is true that delightful dishes such as “Orange and Fennel Salad” from Cucina Fresca by Evan Kleinman and Viana La Place are  unanimously considered homosexual. The recipe calls for 3 large navel oranges (or PINK grapeFRUIT), 2 medium fennel bulbs, 3 tablespoons FRUITY olive oil, course sea salt and freshly ground pepper. The homosexual possibilities of fennel reveal themselves explicitly in the text.

Yet fennel routinely makes its subtle presence known in Italian pasta sauces. You’ll frequently see it roasted with onions, combined with sausage, and other meat sauces. And as we all know, it doesn’t get more heterosexual (male) than that.
