Love the concept of your country-by-country blog. Also love this delicious salad. I made half a batch, exactly as written. Thought the lemon might overpower, but the balance of flavours was perfect. In 2009, I spent a couple of weeks in Angola (which was once a colony of Portugal) and never saw a fennel bulb. It's a cool-climate vegetable, so I think this recipe must be strongly Portuguese, where the bulb is popular and easy to grow. But my huge thanks to you for posting this delightful recipe. It's becoming winterish in Australia and fennel is cheap. I'm thrilled and will make this often!

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
