Licorice Lovers Click Here

Bill Daley of the Chicago Tribune wrote a terrific story about licorice in yesterday's paper.  Called Black Magic -- how perfect -- it not only gives a bunch of information on licorice history and its current uses, which are many, it also gives a good source for licorice root, extracts, powders and sticks, as well as another source for licorice candies from everywhere imaginable.  Oh, and you, my licorice loving and loathing readers, are also mentioned.

is it bad that I like the 'bad' stuff too?! Good n Plenties are my biggest weakness... But good licorice has such a complex flavor, a sort of tang that i've never tasted elsewhere. Thanks for sharing this!

Hi Dorie,

Thanks for sharing the information about licorice . . . just wanted to add that for those who remember good old-fashioned licorice, www.Licoriceinternational.com is running a year-long Licorice Memories contest. We have received more than 600 entries since April. Winners are posted on our site. The monthly prize is a $50 gift certificate and the Grand Prize, to be awarded on National Licorice Day (April 12th) is a membership in the Licorice of the Month Club. Maybe some of your readers would like to share their memories with us.
