1 teaspoon fennel /optional

Please clarify. Why is the fennel optional? Does your BIR add fennel to pilau rice or not?

Or, when a customer orders pilau rice, does the waiter ask if they'd like fennel in the rice because it's optional?

Perhaps they charge 50p extra for the fennel option, like some places do for breast of chicken!

Done! Good job I asked because I would have guessed it was included, and I'd have been wrong.
