Mr King Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 It seems like you either love black liquorice or you hate it. I personally have always liked it. Though I can not get into that salmiak liquorice that is so popular in northern Europe. It is just too salty.
bojan Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 It seems like you either love black liquorice or you hate it. IT IS RASIST!
Guest Jason L Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Love it, Pontefract cakes especially. Sadly it's something that needs moderation: really bad for the blood pressure, although I find it helps keep my sinuses clear too.
Stargrunt6 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Love it! But yeah, it has a substance that would be a 100 pt Scrabble word that causes pseudhyperaldosteronism, ie, hypertension with electrolyte disturbances.
Guest Jason L Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I love the stuff and since it helps with thirst I started taking it as ride food at one point. Boy what a fucking mistake. After about 2 weeks I felt worse on the bike than ever, including days with hangovers. Must have totally fucked my electrolyte balance and everything. I was pounding back like 100g of the stuff every day. Edited November 27, 2012 by Jason L
Mr King Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 I have also discovered the Indian form of after dinner mints, mukhwas. Candy coated fennel and anise seeds, which have a liquorice like flavor. Very tasty.
Simon Tan Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Err......I much prefer the gulab jamun or ladoo......
Mr King Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 Gulab jamun is alright, kind of too sweet for my tastes. Have not had ladoo yet. Give me some kheer and some pista kulfi and my sweet tooth is set.
Stargrunt6 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 I love mukhwas but they are hard to swallow. so I treat it like dip. yee haw
Typhoid Maxx Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 HUh. Love licorice, HATE sambuca. Bojane: World of difference between those sweets and the yummy stuff these Western Imperialist itd, itd, itd produce
Typhoid Maxx Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Damn, I remember those Negro "sweets" and some horrible pentagonal mint "sweets" being the only thing on offer as a kid....both horrid.
Archie Pellagio Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I hate it. Reminds me of sambuca. Quoted for truth. Nothing good has ever happened once black sambucca shots come out... I don't mind licorice in small doses, very rarely. Hated it as a kid.
