[Sca-cooks] nibbles

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

Fennel seeds as well.  I have a reference but don't know where it came from,
about keeping fennel seeds in one's pockets to nibble on during long church
services.  It sweetens the breath and is an appetite suppressant.

Hm.. I think raw celery and raw or pickled fennel bulbs were mentioned
in Platina; the Rus seem to have liked raw radishes; I have somewhere a
reference to raw turnips, I believe...
