I disagree with anyone who says licorice tastes good. Because licorice does not taste good. There is no part of licorice that tastes good. In any shape, size or form. I haven’t yet figured out why licorice is actually produced in the first place. And why anyone would want to eat it? It doesn’t look good or appetizing either, resembling something like a car tyre. And who wants to eat their car tyre? So where would the appeal even lie?

I love licorice, I love the taste, even in liquor form when it’s sold as Sambucca. You will be surprised how many people like it, that could be one reason why it’s around. 🙂

Haha, I had a funny conversation tied to licorice once. I said that I tried this chamomile tea, and I wasn’t big fan of it because it tasted like licorice. Then, they said something about anise, and they had to explain that to me. Then, I was giggling and saying “yeah, I don’t want any anus tea”

I’ve always disliked black licorice, but I like the red. Funny how our tastebuds are all different.

Yum, licorice. I love licorice. I usually will take my friend’s licorice jelly beans because, like you, she doesn’t like the taste. But I do, and it’s good for bad tummies too.

One is never ambivalent about licorice. One either loves it or hates it.

I only will eat red licorice but did learn to kinda like Good and Plenty candies since the candy shell helps make the licorice palatable, Vonita. 🙂

I love black licorice but don’t care for the red (it tastes like perfume to me). But I tried a different brand of licorice recently and ugh, it was horrible! I could see why people would say that they hated licorice if they tasted that stuff! I was told when I was pregnant that licorice eases morning sickness, so I ate it constantly during my pregnancies.

I don’t really like black licorice either but for some reason used to love Good n Plenty candy which is black licorice covered in thin candy.
