ciboule, frondes de fenouil


Explanation:
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but a scallion's a scallion and a fennel's a fennel. I think there's a comma missing....

The scallion is similar to a spring onion, the frowns of a fennel are the dill-like strands on top.

agree  sueaberwoman: But shouldn't that be frond in English? And IMO plumets or feuilles are more usual terms.

  -> Thanks. I also call the frilly bits fronds, perhaps they are frowns on the other side of the Atlantic. Agree, plumets or feuilles could also be used.
neutral  emiledgar: I don't think that ciboule is scallion; scallion is a small white onion usually called "petit onion blanc" in French, ciboule is a member of the garlic family and has a more powerful taste. ciboulette, of course, is chives.

échalote, barbes de fenouil


Explanation:
Il est certain qu'il manque une virgule après "scallion". Quant au fenouil, on parle de "bulbe de fenouil", de "tiges" ou de "branches" et de "barbes" pour désigner le réseau de filaments verts qui tiennent lieu de feuilles.
