Do you like black licorice?

[KopyKat]

I love licorice. All licorice I have ever had is black so what is with the "black" licorice?

If you are talking about that red rope candy, that is not licorice. That is, well, red rope candy - has nothing to do with licorice except that someone decided to copy the shape of the original rope licorice (which is black) with some vile red stuff they called "red licorice" for those wimps that didn't like the real thing.

I love the flavors of licorice, fennel and anise. I think it's an Italian thing.

Possible the worst flavor out there, it reminds me of medicine.

This thread reminds me of something the late Jerry Garcia said. I am paraphrasing here, " The Grateful Dead are like black licorice. You either love it or hate it. But if you love it.... you REALLY love it!!!" Couldn't have said it better myself!!

Out here we have licorice icecream, byfar the BEST flavor EVER!!!
Licorice is an aquired taste. Not for everyone, that just means more for me.

I like black licorice. Jagermiester is pretty popular, so I think many people like licorice to a degree. Try a stormtrooper (1/2 jager, 1/2 peppermint schnapps, chilled). Because it is so overpowering a lot of people claim to hate it, but I think in the right quantities people like it.

Not only that but I love Black Salt Licorice.

I suppose I should add....I HATE those black jelly beans. That's not real licorice anyway. I do like Anise and Fennel, but Licorice Root is far different.

Salty licorice is delicious. I have a buddy from Finland that first exposed me to salmiakki. His parents send him care packages with all sorts of Finnish candies. I alway make sure to get some salmiakki.
