It sounds delish. Unfortunately for me the butter and mayo need to be tossed out.I like recipes using Apple Cider Vinager. I've switched to acd for all my pickling instead of white vinager.

Racfish, you could always modify a bit, EVO instead of butter and for the mayo make a little white sauce with evaporated milk (skim) and a little flour or corn starch. My best advice is to just head over to Salty's so you're not tempted to use that new mandolin or any knives! We gotta get those hands healed up.

I'll second the motion to keep sharp things away from Rac.

Fennel has always been a tough one for me. I'm not a big fan of its licorice taste but I like the seeds cracked and on a pork roast.
