  1. A friend has a recipe that calls for Fennel. Instead of getting the
    seeds, he just got ground instead. Which is better or does it make a
    difference? Also, I saw on a cooking show where seeds that were to be
    added to a recipe were first placed on the cook's plam and the plam on
    his other hand was used to crush them, like a mortar then everything
    was added to the recipe. Should seeds be added whole or opened with
    the above method?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Always buy whole seeds. They last longer and keep their essence
    better. Get yourself a good mortar & pestle or a small cheapo coffee
    grinder to grind spices should the recipe call for.

    nb

    Without your presenting the recipe all one can do is offer wild
    speculation... for all we know it's a salad and calls for fennel bulbs,
    or poached fish requiring fennel fronds for the court bouillon. Yeah,
    right... the proverbial friend... admit it, the dummy is you. <g>

    Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .
