[DemBones DemBones]

5. I love liver! Also pickled beets. And licorice,

of course.

[lunatica]

6. And rootbeer is the liver of softdrinks

I bet you like rootbeer too, don't you?

[DemBones DemBones]

36. I like root beer occasionally. Ginger beer

is better. What can I say? I also like anchovies, Brussels sprouts, kale, and other foods not widely loved.

[Shell Beau]

10. Yep!

:thumbsup:

[geardaddy]

14. You mean they're all good sources of iron?

[Lethe]

35. you can use a Twizzler as a straw

take a piece, bite off both ends and use it as a straw for a coke

when you're done with the coke, gnaw on it, it's kind of like cherry coke

[DemBones DemBones]

4. Yes, we do.

Maybe it's a genetic thing. My dad loved licorice, too. :shrug:

7. I was ever so happy when they started selling whole bags

of black jellybeans. :9

[Shell Beau]

11. I just threw a handful of black jellybellys away!

[Lars39]

22. Scandalous! :^)

[Jamastiene]

34. BLASPHEMY!

There are women here in NC (at least two of us that I know of) who are starving and would be THANKFUL to have those black jellybellies, I tell ya. THANKFUL!

I'll just sit here now and drink my mater soup and look at you funny with one eye squinted. :P

[geardaddy]

16. My sister always picked out the black jellybeans

and gave them to me.

Also, black gum drops=the delish!

[Lars39]

21. oh, yeah, those, too. :^)

[struggle4progress]

8. I really like some traditional salty licorices. But most of what I see on candy counters

I wouldn't touch

[Swede]

9. I think it's my favorite candy.

Can't think of one better.

[Shell Beau]

12. No! Say it ain't so.

[geardaddy]

13. Yes...

[Bake]

15. I loves me some licorice.

And root beer. Not so hot on beets though.

Bake

[Shell Beau]

17. Root beer is fine with me although I can taste the licorice taste.

Beets are satan.

[Bake]

24. The black licorice jelly beans are my favorites!!

Bake

[IntravenousDemilo]

29. Beets can be wonderful...

... if they're not next to your mashed potatoes, turning them pink. I always have them on a separate dish, but I won't eat them at all if they're pickled. And borshch is beautiful if it's done right.

[hippywife]

31. Beets are totally awesome!

I never had them as a kid and just started cooking and eating them last year. :9

Oh, and licorice rocks, too. :hi:

[Taverner]

18. Not a big fan, but a light anise flavor isn't a bad thing

[azmouse]

19. I am so with ya on this one.

Licorce is nasty stuff... :puke:

[Shell Beau]

20. There you go!

[Wapsie B]

23. Yes!

Not every day but once in awhile I love to have some. And the red or green stuff is not licorice.

[arcadian]

25. I like it.

Good N Plenty

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. I love licorice...

And Ouzo, too!

[dana_b]

27. black is okay, but I love red! n/t

[IntravenousDemilo]

28. Ugh! And I can't abide ouzo or sambuca either. n/m

[redqueen]

30. Yup... there's even cookies made with that stuff (anise).

Weird, huh?

[Jamastiene]

32. I like the black licorice.

It turns my tongue black. :D

[skygazer]

37. What do you eat?

You don't eat licorice, you don't eat fruit in salads.... you're a food nazi!


:P

[Sanity Claws]

38. It depends

Some American brands of licorice are okay; the one with the Panda on the front (forgot the name) is okay.
I tried a Norwegian or Swedish version of licorice and it was totally inedible.
