I opened this post with the expectation of a recipe for "fennel cakes"
(that's what i get for not putting my glasses on) but now im thinking,
a basic "doughnut" batter flavoured with fennel? Some where i have a
recipe for a heavy, sweet cake made with rye flour, im thinking fennel
might go very well in it.

Perhaps a pound cake with fennel, or even adding fennel to a basic spice
cake.

While i used to love the county fairs for the rides and amusements i now
make a point of going just for the food. Once a year i indulge in corn
dogs, a big plate of deep fried chicken & shrimp, caramel corn etc.
etc.
