Licorice!

[bholder]

Screw the dutch licorice and the flavored liquor.

You need some good ol Finnish Salmiak.

Its licorice with a refreshing mouthful of ammonium chloride.

Reminds me of the time I convinced my dad to try Moxie soda. It looked like his lips were trying to crawl off his face and hide...

I love iicorice--although I notice it's harder t find these days...

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.

The salt in Salmiak is ammonium chloride.

I like it. I very much enjoy convincing people to try it and watching the revulsion.

I used to take chilli seeds into a school classroom. I'd quietly eat one or two till someone noticed and wanted some. Good times.. They rarely had any clue what they were in for till after the first ten seconds or so.

I like liquorice too, and the natural root is good, someone I know recently reminded me of it by eating some. Got to get some soon. Coltsfoot rock is also good.

Black licorice is one of those things I get a weird craving for about once a year.


Like Dr. Pepper.

A jar of these on the counter can be a delight.

Never mind a jar, I'll take a 3 kilo bag. Careful observers may note that Tom Baker, as Doctor Who, eats a lot more of these than jelly babies. A man of taste and distinction..

I now refrain from ordering 3 kilos of Dutch black licorice cats at a whack as they lead me to excessive consumption

The trick to deal with three kilos is to decant into old coffee jars. And discipline, lots of discipline... Hiding the jars helps.

Cheapskate. Ok, I like those too but they are no substitute for the quality sources with the orange ones.
