It seems like there must be a way to cook main dishes with it, I'm thinking especially poultry. Anyone have experience with this? Any success or failure stories?

They are definitely two different plants, though.

I'll dig around my cookbooks and see if I can come up with anything.

Of course, if you have heard of Heston Blumenthal you will know he tends to make things that might seem a bit... wierd... to many people at least, but if you are pretty open to new flavours & ideas then it might be worth a try! I like the idea of savoury liquorice dishes! Wed Sep 13 18:07:48 -0700 2006 1848913 40335 missdipsy
