Notice I did not say black licorice. There's no need to distinguish between black or red because all licorice is black. That red stuff is artificial sugar and shouldn't even be allowed to appear in the same sentence as the real thing. Intense, powerful, Australian licorice is superior to any others I've tried. But if you don't like licorice, forget it--you will hate it beyond words. Oh, and if you have high blood pressure, best to stay away--licorice is high in sodium!

Such a weird, unloved little flavor. Apparently Germanic peoples like it, too, because in Iceland they sell milk chocolate-coated black licorice candy bars (I don't recommend them, though - chocolate and licorice really don't go well together). And the one food my Dutch friend brought with her to Russia was black licorice chews. Apparently in the Netherlands they even have different strengths and varieties (smooth, sharp, etc.) of black licorice! One thing I don't like, though, is the way black jelly beans turn your tongue purple. Aww, I like black licorice! Such a weird, unloved little flavor.
