I might add that Basil is a taboo ingredient in authentic Orthodox Cooking. Basil is for burials and memorials not for eating as it is too sacred. This is a an 19th century Italian practice to eat Basil. Even there it was formerly unheard of. I do not recommend it. It is said to have been found around Christ's tomb after his resurrection.
I love Christians and food.

@LiturgicalChants I would also point out that it is just as taboo, if not doubly so, to serve and eat Gregory under any circumstances.

Aren't you supposed to not eat meat as monastics ????
What is going on here...I must have been taught wrong.
Kudos to the fennel, an authentic mediterranean ingredient Archm. Nicholas would have grown up with I suspect.

@LiturgicalChants If I am not mistaken, monastics can eat meat during the Feast of feasts, Pascha.
