Lead-filled licorice = blackjack.

as a kid, licorice was one of those staples that passed around when kids got together....along with ‘dots’ on paper and wax ‘soda’ bottles filled with goop.
I was never, ever a liker of the foul sticks...either black or red. in my book, candy had chocolate in it....all else was sham-candy, that you ate, only to be polite to whomever was giving it to you.

I moved to Sweden for four years and was appalled by how many people there loved black licorice to the extent that the flavor was used in bubble gum and...ack...ice cream. Barf.

health officials found the batch to contain up to 13.2 micrograms of lead, or more than twice the state-recommended safe amount. Best to stick with unleaded...

1) Black licorice is awesome. Great stuff! Anybody who doesn't like it is probably queer.
2) "Red Vines" is the absolute worst brand, regardless of color or flavor. It should all be rounded up and rocketed into the Sun; the factory should be subjected to saturation nuclear bombing, and the formula destroyed forever.

after health officials found the batch to contain up to 13.2 micrograms of lead, or more than twice the state-recommended safe amount. The first part of that is meaningless if not referenced to some unit weight. 13.2 micrograms per gram? per pound? per ton? the whole of that batch?
And the second part is nonsensical as well. If 6.6 micrograms are considered "safe," what happens to people who eat twice as much as others?

Black licorice is yummy, as are black jelly beans. Anisette is good and Sambuca makes a great shot! Maybe it’s an acquired taste?

“Anisette is good...”
Let me guess... you are from Italian descent? All my friends that are Italian LOVE Anisette. At Christmas, they even make Anisetta (sp?) cookies. Am I right?!
To: Vaquero
Do you realize that black licorice is in Italian sausage and spicy Thai food?

real black licorice is very good. I purchased a lb of salted black licorice a few months ago and every once in a while, I grab a piece and hide the rest from the kids. It’s a nice treat on par with really good chocolate.
The red crap and the mass produced junk gives the authentic stuff a bad name.

Back in the day when we visited the in laws on a Sunday morning, you couldn't leave without a shot or two of Anisette or Sambuca in your coffee. And it's still good today.
To: momtothree
Guilty. At Christmas, we make cookies with Anisette and pies with wheat. I think it's more of a Neopolitan thing; like the Sicilians are famous for their almond paste delights!

if you refering to the seed of the Finocchio....(or fennel seed)...
first off I usually order my sausage from the pork store without fennel. but even when I do not...the small amount of fennel does not impart enough flavor to make a difference...
Thai food? ate it a time or 2 (sounds like bubba)and just as soon not try it again.

Black licorice seems to be one of the few things people either LOVE or HATE. I’m in the love-it category. I’ll probably have to pick up some Snaps today, because of this!

yup, it’s an acquired taste. The time I tried to drink ouzo, I couldn’t get past the smell to drink it...
