[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I eat fennel seeds by the handful. Such a great breath freshener![/b] Steeping fennel with mint and ginger also makes a great herbal tea too soothe an upset tummy. But I can understand aversion to fennel, anise, and tarragon if you don't like licorice. Oddly enough, I can't stand licorice, and I'll take a hard pass on tarragon. But fennel and anise don't bother me.

Just a mild suggestion.  If you are going to be spending a significant amount of time with someone, you might want to reconsider this.  I knew someone who did this, and the fennel smell that she thought was so refreshing was, to put it mildly, not refreshing to those around her.  She was a work colleague and whenever she did this, people would fight not to sit near her in meetings.  Some people started to avoid her in person and she did not realize any of this.  There are quite a lot of people who dislike the fennel/anise smell (as you can see even in this thread).  And the smell lingers and does not go away, especially if you are the type that refreshes your breath freshening periodically.  She could not smell it, but her office space smelled like stale licorice.  It got to the point that several people mentioned it to her boss who had to have the uncomfortable discussion with her to please stop eating fennel seeds at or before work.

Her's was an extreme situation (she loved them), but just letting you know that what you considering refreshing is distasteful to many and may be a problem for people who have to be around you.[/quote]

OMG!!! What if those two posters above know each other?  :shock:  :D [/quote]
