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?!
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.
yup, it’s an acquired taste. The time I tried to drink ouzo, I couldn’t get past the smell to drink it...
It is good to be the person who likes black jelly beans because you almost always get to pick them all out! I do love Sambuca too. I always drink it with a coffee bean in it, altho I’m not sure why that is.
LOVE black licorice. When I was growing up ate a lot. Don’t remember the brand but it came in a red and yellow box. Also bought a lot of Black Jack gum. Now the only good kind available IMO is Crows and we order it a case at a time on the internet because no one carries it in their store any more.
Frequent an Italian restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, when we are there. They used to serve a flaming shot of Anisette after dinner until one of their customers didn’t have the good sense to put the fire out before she attempted to drink it. Of course she filed a lawsuit against them and so no more blue flame. Stupid woman!
