Licorice!

[MJ5150]

@T_Bone_TL is spot on about Dutch licorice. We love it too, even the lightly salted ones.

If you like ouzo try raki. It's similar and delicious and extremely potent. I believe it's the Turkish equivalent of ouzo so maybe don't ask for it at a Greek place, but I highly recommend it if you can find a bottle. Most liquor stores by me have it.

It is indeed Turkish. Had a run in with it in Turkey years ago and it's not called the lion's milk for nothing. Let me tell you, the bathrooms on Turkish ferries are not for the viciously hungover or the faint of heart. At least they weren't in the very early 90s.

As for licorice? No. Just no.

Love the stuff, most all flavors, but partial to the black.

In my house, I'm the only one that likes black licorice, so I never have to worry if there's going to be any left when I come home from work. All mine!

Anybody else like the anise (black licorice) flavored pizzelle coookies?

 

[Richland123]

How about some Good & Plenty Licorice Candy?

I'm even down now and then for a glass of a fine French or Swiss Absinthe.

I make pizzelles every Christmas as a family tradition. Love the anise ones, but make other flavors too.

Technically, real licorice and anise are from different plants.

Love anise! A nice addition to curries...

Always liked all flavors but the brown.

The best licorice candy (in general) is Australian.

Oz also excels in candied ginger.

They sell a root beer with licorice at the local Renaissance Faire.

No thanks I'll pass that stuff is gross

My niece turned me on to these, she has a friend from Holland. Strongest flavor I've ever experienced, yumm.

I see those at the market we stop in at in Seattle, but walk past them for the Dutch ones. I will try those next. Thanks for the heads up.

Screw the dutch licorice and the flavored liquor.

You need some good ol Finnish Salmiak.

Its licorice with a refreshing mouthful of ammonium chloride.

Mmmm metal salts! \m/

I'll give it a try. Which brand is the best?

I honestly would not spend a lot of money on this. If its salmiakki from Finland, get the smallest package you can find.

Why not? I dig me some salty licorice. I already like the Dutch take on licorice. I like chocolate from Finland and other Scandinavia items. Seems like a winner to me, or has the potential to be.
