I never used to like it. Then I got COVID. My taste and smell died and were resurrected one Easter morning, but all weird-like. Now I love black liquorice. Tastes like eating a tire but in a good way.
is your taste and smell different in any other way? or is it just black liquorice that transformed from disgusting to beloved?
has the flavour of liquorice changed for you? or is the flavour the same but you now enjoy it?
how many tires have you eaten and what does it mean that something tastes like a tire in a good way???
Ive never been able to explain it to people. I don’t quite understand it myself. But the analogy is accurate and I agree
Right, like I can’t explain the flavours I am accustomed to. And I can’t even explain the new one (neither before nor after). But like… good hell/bad hell? I’m going with good hell.
I really like the black jellybeans.
I also enjoy black licorice but, I also enjoy lemons jalapenos and sawdust on occasion. So i might just be an anomoly.
They work well with herbal flavors like spearmint, wintergreen, clove, ginger, allspice.
But I’m weird. I actually like spiced gum drops and Necco wafers.
Polish person living in Denmark here. The Danish lore licorice. I can’t understand why, because for me it’s disgusting. Half of their candy is licorice based. You have to really watch out not to accidentally buy something licorice flavored. It happened to me a few times. My friend once actually asked if the hot dog sauce isn’t licorice flavoured, just in case.
The Danish lore licorice
Damn. I was really looking forward to Danish licorice lore.
“hot dog sauce…”
Heinz ketchup once tried to rebrand their ketchup as “hot dog sauce” to trick the good people of Chicago into accidentally tainting their hotdogs with ketchup. We remain strong and stubborn as ever, but that was a close one. Sometimes I feel like the people of Chicago would be more open to adding licorice sauce to their hotdogs than ketchup.
Dafuq is a strawerry?
When I was a kid, a sibling and some friends of mine would occasionally play “jelly bean Russian roulette”, wherein we would get a number of jelly beans equal to the number of us playing, with one of them a black licorice, have one non-playing kid scramble them and “randomly” give one to each player, and then eat them eyes closed without seeing what the flavor was. Whoever got the licorice was the loser.
