Fennel seeds.
OOOH! OOOH! PIck me! I know this one!!
I'm actually drying fennel seeds from my garden, since I figured I'd try my hand at some DIY Penzey's action.
Fennel Seed. Yum, yum.
Fennel seeds, one of my absolute favorite ingredients!
Got this one right away :-) In India, fennel seeds are chewed raw after a meal - they work as mouth freshener and digestion aid. When we're done eating in a restaurant, the waiter usually places on the table, along with the invoice/check, a saucer containing toothpicks, mishri (crystallized sugar globules) and fennel seeds.
Nowadays fennel seeds come in exotic flavors as well. I have in my pantry fennel seeds dusted with sugar and essence of "paan", mixed with dried rose petals.

Here is where I'm definitely not a "good" Italian, although I love anise, (cooked fennel, too), I'm not crazy about fennel seeds. Therefore, I don't have any in my pantry.
Fennel seeds. I have some in my pantry that I grew and dried a few years ago. I'm not really crazy about the licorice flavor, but I have made Italian sausage with it.
Yes, here in my pantry. I don't use them often, but recently I made a tomato jam with them, dubious that the flavor would work, but it really does.
A bit like caraway in being a surprise as a tasty savory addition. Look here -- they are related, and to a few other seeds too: http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/16401/are-caraway-seeds-and-fennel-seeds-the-same

It is fennel seed, and i do have it in the house.
fennel- I own it but I admit not a huge fan of the 'licorice" flavor :/
Fennel, I sometimes even grind the seeds by hand in my mortar and pestle.
