What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The New York Times.
Hank LedgerA caramelized fennel pasta that delivers sweet, caramelized notes without any onions or other alliums, The New York Times reports.
Hank LedgerI am the judge, and the thermometer is ready.
Vera BullockHot take: the onion's statement reads, we are thrilled to announce a fennel-led transition, and we will be exploring other opportunities.
Hank LedgerNot. The onion did not ask for a healing journey. It was replaced.
Dale BearmanHot take: one recipe writer says caramelized fennel tastes very reminiscent of caramelized onions, with more peppery savoriness.
Dale BearmanSo fennel has been impersonating onions for years, and nobody checked.
Hank LedgerHot. A vegetable with a cover story is the most believable thing I have heard all week.
Vera BullockHold on, you rated my take not and his hot? He just accused a vegetable of fraud.
Hank LedgerYes. Yours was a wellness retreat. His had a suspect.
Dale BearmanThank you, Hank. Vera, the onion didn't ask for a lawyer, it asked for a lawyer.
Hank LedgerMy final take: I rate my own take HOT. Decades of cooking onions, and it turns out they were fennel the whole time.
