      I don’t understand. I honestly love black licorice.

      They wouldn’t even make it if no one liked it. I also like dishes that use fennel or anise.

      Always have and always will. Red licorice is the garbage one.

        I was in my teens, I think, the first time a friend said they liked black licorice. I really thought they were kidding, just blew my mind. I mean, if you like something, you like it, can’t really argue with that. Still.

          I think the flavor is too strong on its own for people to appreciate, but you may be surprised how it has been used in dishes you loved.

        I also love licorice =)

        I really like licorice root tea, and when I was a kid I’d take the seeds out of star anise pods and suck on them XD

        I’m the opposite. Cannot stand a hint of licorice or anise in any shape or form. It had made me genuinely gag in the childhood. Nowadays it’s just unpleasant to an extreme degree.

        P.S.:
        I’m not dunking on the thing. If you like, you like. Good for you.
