k that's a toughy. the bacon is what gives it the body. try this one. hopefully you eat dairy.

fennel gratin

1/2 litre whipping cream (or since you're in the UK double cream)
5 bulbs of fennel
salt
pepper
parm cheese
bread crumbs

in a bowl mis the cheese with the bread crumbs. toss with a little water so it's a little clumpy. slice the fennel thinly with a knife of a mandolin. in a pot bring the cream to a boil with the salt and pepper. add the fennel and cook until it's tender. using tongs take the fennel out of the cream and place it into a baking dish that's big enough to make a layer of fennel at least an inch thick. pack it down. drizzle a little bit of the cream over it so it's a bit more moist. top with the bread crumbs and bake in a 350 oven until the top is brown and crispy. let it cool in the fridge. then when you're ready to eat heat it up and again and spoon it out. if you don't let it cool you'll have a big mess of mush. cooling it keeps the shape.

I've never understood when people say

"I'm a vegetarian so I'll have...a tuna sandwich!"

i'm kind of teh same way. i see it all the time at work. "chef? this guy is a vegetarian, but pork, lamb, fish, and beef are ok." i do'nt really care. people have the right to eat whatever they want. for me that it comes down to is, if you can't look at the face of an animal that yiou're going to eat, or have the balls to do it yourself, you're a hypocrite. people see markets in countries outside of the english speaking world and are shocked at the panorama of cruelty. but at least it's a hell of alot more honest than our system of buying pre processed, pre packaged meats.

How about a good recipe for a watermelon & feta salad?

did you just answer your own question?

Would love a great recipe for Chile Verde' Any suggestions ? Thanks ! ~Blood D~

i don't know any mexican stuff but one of the cooks at the restaurant is mexican and made it once for us. i don't know the exact recipe but i know thre was pork, green tomatos, some corn, potatos and tortillas.

I want something my age is bound to like, not too fatty and salty, and easy to make (from scratch)

how old are you? food does not discriminate. if it's good enough for your grand parents, it's good enough for you. now pass the liver and onions.
