I never used to like it. Then I got COVID. My taste and smell died and were resurrected one Easter morning, but all weird-like. Now I love black liquorice. Tastes like eating a tire but in a good way.
Right, like I can’t explain the flavours I am accustomed to. And I can’t even explain the new one (neither before nor after). But like… good hell/bad hell? I’m going with good hell.
Polish person living in Denmark here. The Danish lore licorice. I can't understand why, because for me it's disgusting. Half of their candy is licorice based. You have to really watch out not to accidentally buy something licorice flavored. It happened to me a few times. My friend once actually asked if the hot dog sauce isn't licorice flavoured, just in case.
Internet rule, even the most obvious spelling error because of autocorrect, will be pointed out. On the other hand, why did it correct love to lore? I'm pretty sure, the former is the more often used word.
Heinz ketchup once tried to rebrand their ketchup as "hot dog sauce" to trick the good people of Chicago into accidentally tainting their hotdogs with ketchup. We remain strong and stubborn as ever, but that was a close one. Sometimes I feel like the people of Chicago would be more open to adding licorice sauce to their hotdogs than ketchup.
When I was a kid, a sibling and some friends of mine would occasionally play "jelly bean Russian roulette", wherein we would get a number of jelly beans equal to the number of us playing, with one of them a black licorice, have one non-playing kid scramble them and "randomly" give one to each player, and then eat them eyes closed without seeing what the flavor was. Whoever got the licorice was the loser.
Get yourself a mix bag of Dutch liquorice, with some of the sweet, salty, and bees wax coated stuff. Soooo good, and a proper chew feel too, none of the soft rubbish stuff <3
I must consume all the licorice. It's very common here in the Netherlands and I fucking love it. Especially the salty licorice with salmiak (or whatever y'all call it).
