No way. I thought all you English folks ate fennel all the time. It tastes like fennel seeds in that there is a licorice flavor. I grow it on my garden. I think roasting it will make it milder and sweeter. It does seem like a very IBS friendly recipe.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
