Pot roast for dinner.
 

Made and seasoned simply with salt pepper and parsley. No onion as the dogs
might eat some. Grave sweetened with sweet rice flour. Roasted Yukon Gold
potatoes, multicolored carrots and fennel. Each roasted separately. TJs had
fennel that was almost all bulb. Two huge ones in a clam pack. Did not have
to pay for all those fronds when we won't eat them.

You have to pay extra for fennel fronds where you are? That's strange.

Here they are sold loose and the price is by the bulb and not by the pound.

It's sold by the pound and usually there are more fronds than bulb. Not
unusual.

Of course they do. Maybe Canadian fronds don't.

That should say "puppies".

Grandparents are in other states. The ones that are still alive that.

I think the keywords are "clam pack". Trimmed fennel bulbs,
prepackaged. She likely didn't look for unfettered fennel with fronds.
Certainly wouldn't consider the fronds would help in seasoning the gravy
for the pot roast she's serving with roasted fennel. Hmmm.

Exactly. It's not bulbs trimmed and sold in a "clam pack". I have
never seen fennel sold that way. I'd guess it's in the convenience area
in the produce section. Alongside the bagged salad greens and
pre-chopped vegetables. Sorry, I don't look for those things. If I
want fennel I'll look for the loose bulbs and certainly take it with the
fronds. I think I can buy them by the each. I haven't checked the price.

You have to take weather and crop conditions into consideration when
you're shopping. Fennel is a winter crop. Most of the fennel in the US
is grown in SoCal and Arizona. It's just now coming to market. What
you see puny right now with the fronds is likely last years crop.

The fennel was served on the side. Fennel is not a flavor I would want in my
beef gravy.
