Licorice poll!

[kenaij]

I love Dutch liquorice called DROP. That is a far stronger flavor than the american variant.
But what you say is true. Atleast 'drop' is very salty and is bad for your heart and veins when eating it too often and a lot at a time.
But a couple of 'dropjes' every now and again don`t hurt.

Black jelly beans are amazing.

So is soft salted black licorice.

As long as it's all natural and not stuffed with chemicals I like it.

I never liked Dutch liquorice, the salty stuff. But I love Vegemite so go figure.

I do like the original black liquorice which was actually a medicine, a mild laxative. Where I grew up a lot of Italian migrants had introduced Aniseed (now officially a noxious weed that costs the government millions to keep under control) and I liked eating the seeds as a kid. I like chocolate coated liquorice too.

But as a 17 year old I made myself incredibly ill on ouzo one night and ever since I can't stand the smell of it.

I've never liked black liquorice. There are some foods that I didn't like when I was younger, but have acquired a taste for as an adult. Liquorice is not one of them.
