thanks for licorice/anise links. I like licorice also..guess i don't really know the difference in taste..but might if I really compared them at same time, which I have never done.

It is considered a 'health' food also.. I find myself drawn to it on occasion, same with hot peppers.. both medicinal uses. I think the body often talks to us if we listen.

I have a liqueur.. Creme de casssis. Has a licorice taste.. it is a French Gabriel Boudier Dijon (doesn't mean much to me)..I am not too fond of it.. A gift a couple years ago. If it were a bottle of Kahlua or B & B, it would be gone rather quickly!

No one drink it as such.

La crème de cassis is used for "kir" : add a little in a glass of chilled white wine or "kir royal" in a glass of Champagne - yummy.

You can also pour some over red fruits icecream... or Forest Noire (cherry) cake.
Delicious
