NRP has a nice piece about licorice and vegetables/herbs that taste of licorice. I love this quote from it:
“I have always felt that the flavor of licorice overstays its welcome, like a chatty visitor whose friendliness turns out to disguise a monologuing narcissist.”
It didn’t change my mind about my distaste for licorice, but it was still a nice read!
