Give me all your fennel then, you guys. I love it!!

(I'll send you whatever cilantro I come across--bleh)

That's not a good trade. Fennel, anise, cilantro and cumin are the spices/herbs I won't eat... it makes indian food dicey although I love the indian food without cumin in it.

I don't like it in stuff but I

it grilled... seems to kill the licorice flavor.

Ten points, Monster.

But it sounds like he does get funky with it, he just pulls out in time. Eatus interruptus.

was it tasty Flint ??

Hey, I like fennel seed in a tomato sauce. Adds a flavor note to the complex.

I also sometimes toss in a weensy handful of raisins. They hold onto their own flavor rather than suffusing anything into the sauce, so you're eating along on spaghetti sauce until you hit a raisin and suddenly here's a sweet note for just this mouthful. Quite nice.

UT, I'm sad for you though: no cumin = no chili. It just ain't chili without its cumin. Just a sort of insipid meat stew.

Have to agree with Urbane there. No cumin = no chilli. I also like a bit of coriander in a chilli too.

That's one of the great things about Chilean empanadas--that occasional sweet bit of raisin. Then the next bite might have a little salty olive...

And then there's that funny Cincinnati Greek take on spaghetti sauce and chili: considerable cinnamon in the works, and some allspice too I think. Distinctive enough that I think you can google recipes for it.

One of them

And one for the crockpot

Epicurious.com seems to have crashed or gotten swamped. Pity, it seemed they had a good article w/recipe.

European and particularly Finnish licorice are a great big improvement over the unpleasant stuff we know here -- full of molasses, which does a lot to smooth it out and make it fun. I'm a total convert now.

Panda brand makes a herbed licorice that comes off like what if Ricola made licorice. Also quite fun.

bluecuracao · 10-19-2007, 05:56 AM

I had no idea that Cincinnati chili was Greek.

Urbane Guerrilla · 10-19-2007, 06:00 AM

I'm told Greek restauranteurs started it, and that it evolved over some years.
