Sorry, I couldn’t resist !

As for local flavor in terminals, I’ll deliberately set up layovers at AUS whenever I can so I can hit up the Salt Lick Bar-B-Que and Amy’s Ice Cream while I’m there.

Ingredients
* 1 fennel bulb, green tops and core removed, white part chopped
* 2 onions, chopped
* 4 garlic cloves, sliced
* 3 tablespoons of olive oil
* 1 1/2 cups of Riesling or other white wine
* 2 cups of diced ripe tomatoes or canned tomatoes
* 2 tablespoons of fennel seeds
* 1/2 teaspoon of hot pepper flakes
* 2 pinches of saffron threads
* 3 bay leaves
* 4 cups of sea (or land) kitten stock
* salt and pepper
* zest of 1 orange
* 24 ounces of any assorted sea kitten

Directions

1. In a large soup pot, sauté the fennel, onions and garlic in the olive oil until they soften and smell wonderful. Pour in the wine and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes, fennel seeds, hot pepper flakes, saffron, bay leaves and kitten stock. Season with salt and pepper and let simmer for twenty to thirty minutes. This is just long enough for all the flavours to blend together. Add the orange zest and sea kitten to the simmering soup and stir gently. Let simmer for 5 minutes and serve immediately.

Of course this also begs the question what does our harpoon wielding Eskimo do to the Salmon-thirty-Salmon? Intra family cannibalism?

Basically, PETA = Ryanair. Ryanair is never going to have pay toilets, and standing room – but talking about such things gets people talking about Ryanair, and then it sinks into peoples’ brains that if they need a cheap flight, they should check Ryanair.
