A lot of offices here have this jar filled with licorice and dip into them. Once in a while someone buys a couple of pounds to fill it up again.
When you have a cold: put some bay leaf licorice in a bottle of water: shake well and let it stand for a night = cough syrup
Another idea: take a huge peppermint + some really salt licorice and put it in your mouth; tastes real good.
Yes, we all love it. It's a national addiction  |
we had a Dutch exchange student for a year, everyone of her "care packages" had a fairly large supply of that kind of licorice. I like black licorice, but the heavily salty stuff was WAY too much for me!
