this sugar filled style licorice is my jam.
I dig black lic too
Not sure if we are still in licorice territory here, but if it is, Sweet Tarts Ropes are phenomenal.
There is only one flavor of licorice. Licorice flavor. The anus flavored "candy" enjoyed exclusively by old people, some Europeans, and weirdoes. All this Willy Wonka bullshit you guys keep bringing up is just...candy. Unlike licorice it actually tastes *better* than Brussels sprouts with bouillon cubes hiden inside.
Licorice is so gross. It's like the haggis of candy. Really, it's only technically candy by virtue of all the perfectly good sugar it wastes. Nothing else 1/10 as disgusting would ever claim to be a treat. When people pretend to like it just to seem tough it offends me, and I pretend a lot of things myself...but come on. That shit doesn't even resemble a good taste. It doesn't even resemble a bad taste. It doesn't resemble food. It's like some one just handed you a little compressed hunk of that black bioslime that drain flies live in, or the greese you see dripping from fairground rides. One of the worst flavors I've ever experienced and I don't see why it continues to be manufactured.
I mean, I hate spiced jelly beans, anything with cocoanut filings in it, and fake peach flavoring quite a bit, but I'd strap a feed bag filled with cocoanut caked spicy peach jelly beans to my head before I ate a single piece of licorice. I'd rather share treats with my dogs, no, my CATS. That's how gross licorice is. Worse than a cat treat.
I wish I could say more but that's probably enough to permanently derail this thread.
You are missing out, comrade.
I mean, I cannot imagine a world without, say, cumin.
I also LOVE burnt toast.
Anise = amazing, especially if it is not overloaded with too much sugar.
I drink my coffee black.
I like espresso.
I like tea, without anything added.
I love lemongrass.
The bitterest beers are the best beers.
THE BITTEREST BEERS ARE THE BEST BEERS.
I love cumin. I put it on my salad. Everything. Popcorn. I love cumin.
I love very hot (spicy) foods from all cuisines Indian, Thai, Chinese, Persian, Italian, etc. (not so hot that I develop a fever, though).
I love nori/seaweed
Horseradish/wasabi
Tabasco.
Black pepper.
I have to stop, but I could go on and on.
Oh, and I love licorice! Black, delightful, heavenly licorice.
Onions!!! Leeks!!! Chives!!!!
Licorice, too.
esteban, we have very similar taste . minus the burnt toast. I find after u get used to very flavorful things, other tastes become more boring.
You said in another post you dislike jagermeister ... but have you tried the less sweet italian style bitters (amaro)?? Fernet Branca?
my #1.
that being said i also go for some less flavorful stuff too, like german food.
