If you live in or near any city, check your local candy shops. They will very likely have salted licorice. I was shocked when I learned that a dinky little candy store in Tacoma, WA, carried salted licorice.

One time, I found black licorice ice cream at a truckstop. It sat like a ball of tar on my cone and stained my teeth and tongue dark green. It was one of the happiest days of my life.

I also love me some black licorice... However I'm a strange person, as I can not stand chocolate.

[–]nubbinator 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I can't stand milk chocolate. Give me dark chocolate somewhere between 65 to 80% and I love it.

Black licorice is awesome too, unless it's Dutch licorice. I love old fashioned and just about any other licorice, but Dutch licorice is salty as hell. Not just any salty either, it tastes like they use ocean water in the production process.

[–]Edootjuh 1 point2 points ago

Dutch liquorice comes in sweet and salty flavours (and mint and whatever else they've come up with)

Not only that but because it is so strong it has a sort of self-limiter in it where after you have a bit you can easily put it down and come back to it another day.

I LOVE licorice, but never get to eat the actual candy because it's made with wheat, and I'm allergic to gluten. =( I need someone to make some GF licorice twists stat. (Yes I can get my craving of the flavor in other means, like tea or alcohol or what have you, but I love the candy consistency.)

Indeed, black licorice is very tasty. However, in my opinion it is an acquired taste. The first time I had it was awful, but for some reason I came back to it and soon enough I was enjoying it. It's pretty much the same thing with Moxie.

On the contrary, licorice root inhibits H. Pylori, can be used to help treat Chron's and IBS, and with moderate usage, can help soothe upset stomach.

It also contains glycyrrhetinic acid, which inhibits 11-beta-HSD2. Basically, that's the enzyme that prevents cortisol from binding to the mineralicorticoid receptor that controls blood pressure. So if you eat liquorice, you'll give yourself hypertension and lower your potassium because your body thinks aldosterone is high.

As an asthmatic, I love it twice! Tastes great and it's good for me!

Licorice root has been shown to effectively soothe swollen airways, acting as an effective anti-inflammatory. It has also been found to effectively inhibit histamine release, inhibit coughing and has highly effective expectorant effects.

Licorice root eases congestion and coughing, helping to loosen and thin mucus and airways. It aids in the relaxation of bronchial spasms and soothes soreness and tightness in the throat.More Here

There's no such thing as black licorice. There's just licorice. Really, the one you should be saying "fuck you" is Twizzlers. Twizzlers are the idiots that confused multiple generations of young Americans into thinking that something called "licorice" could ever taste good.

Therefore, fuck you Twizzlers for branding something tasty as licorice and allowing the infernal bunghole of the candy world to have something vaguely approaching popularity.

The only thing worse than black licorice are those colorful candies with black licorice in them. As a child, I tried one, thinking how tasty the pink and blue candy might be. Then the licorice taste kicked in, and it was bloody awful. I still hate the taste to this day. Ugh!

Fuck that red shit, it's not really licorice.

Hardcore licorice heads eat the stuff full of AMONIUM CHLORIDE. It's sweet, salty, and full of amonical goodness. It's called salmiak, check it out.

I've hated black licorice until just recently when I started eating it due to there being no other candy in the house. Then all of a sudden - bam! I fell in love with liquorice allsorts.

I like liquorice. It's so satisfying that when I go on a vacation I always stop at a sweet shop and get a bag of fresh liquorice to munch on on the way. Keeps me from needing to get more junk food snacks wherever I stop.

Not so!

Black licorice is excellent. And you should try Dutch licorice. Find a dutch deli or Dutch candy store, it's a real treat.

My mother told me a story once why she dislikes black licorice now.

As a kid she thought her fathers twist tobacco (Chewing Tobacco) was black licorice. He was a coal miner.

They chewed twist due to not being able to smoke and stop their mouths drying out from the dust.

Of course she ate it.

Black licorice is delicious.

As an aside, I've noticed that it's generally enjoyed by people with more evolved palettes, and hated by the less adventurous.

I love black licorice! But I've never met anyone who sorta likes it...my theory is that you either like it, or you don't.

When I was in high school, my friend always had black licorice and when I first tried it, I spit it out in disgust. After trying it about 5 more times, I decided it was the best fucking candy in the world. 5 years later in college, my friend tries black licorice for the first time. She hates it. 5 more tries later and she's buying me a box :)

So, what you do, right, is, you take the active ingredient from that awful stench of week old piss, ammonia.

Then you douse it in hydrochloric acid.

The resulting salt, ammonium chlorate, is what you sprinkle on your black liquorice for even more awesomeness.

Mmmm.

Like other commenters here, I love "Black" Licorice.

Plus, if you eat enough, apparently you can hallucinate.

The area i grew up in as a kid [in Holland] hosted a lot of factories: cacao plants, mills, and a couple of candy factories.

Every wednesday afternoon we went to a small warehouse where they gave away free candy from the candy factories down the river.

Licorice, jellybeans, 'engelse drop' and much more were given away to dozens of kids. Obviously this was before certain health codes were enforced: early '80s.

My point is, when you grow up on the stuff you might have a preference for a certain kind of licorice, but even the black licorice is good.
