Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dish was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I think I'll save it for a weekend when I have more time.

The fennel was a bit too tough for my liking. I think I'll try roasting it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a ham that was already pretty salty. Next time I'll use a milder ham.
