So, today, I tasted fennel foliage for the first time (unless I nibbled on our plant last year a bit; I don't remember). I think it was this kind, as I got the fennel seeds from seedsnow.com: www.seedsnow.com/products/fennel
First, I tasted some from the plant outside. Then, I tasted some from some fresh fennel purchased from Winco (someone gifted it to me, since I had never tasted it).
The kind from the garden had a stronger licorice punch to it. The leaves taste kind of like salad greens, with a temporary licorice punch. I like them. It's hard to describe the grocery store kind. I preferred the garden kind as it was fresher and tastier, but they were both good. I think fennel greens would be great in salads.
Both types I tasted are bulbing types (but this post is about the taste of the tips of the foliage).
