The message
from "Rupert \(W.Yorkshire\)" contains these words:


I have been munching the odd seeds for the last few years and they do taste
of aniseed. I will now desist until I am certain of the ID and will content
myself with extra portions of wild garlic.

For aniseed taste, try the ripe seeds of fennel (supposed to
supprersss appetitie as an aid to weight loss) I also enjoy a
munch-in-passing on fennel leaf, mints, chives and garlic chives.
