You Either Love It Or..

Hate it. Black Liqourice (or licorice depending on your continent):

Licorice

I really don’t like this stuff. I can just about bear it on ‘Liquorice Allsorts’, which are coated in so much sugary, fondanty stuff that you can’t really taste it, but on it’s own: yuk.

Red liquorice (which I guess, isn’t actually real liquorice) is a different matter altogether, I could eat that stuff ’til it comes out of my ears. Did you ever endure certain sweets (candy) as a child that you really didn’t like, but as they were the only things on offer you ate them anyway? I can think of:

  • Liquorice
  • Parma Violets ( I think that’s their name) Foul violet scented sweets
  • ‘UFO’s’ - Rice paper with sherbet in: Like cardboard only without the flavour
  • Winter mixtures or ‘cough candy’. Bleccccch.
  • Wagon Wheels -Take chocolate, take biscuit, what could go wrong?  Just insert a layer of inedible white foam between the two and you’re set.

Sometimes, sweets held no pleasure at all…. :-(

    Chris and Crunchy you are sweet heretics! ;-)

    Licorice, UFOs and Sherbet Dib Dabs are fantastic. BTW Chris, Winter Warmers and Cough Candy are 2 different sweets! I agree about the former though.

    Didn’t Wagon Wheels have a layer of jam too?

    Totally agree about the UFOs. We always chose them when we bought our penny sweets but why? They were cardboard.

    You say jam Ems but I think the congealed blood of toads may be more accurate…

    Winter warms, cough candy bleech whatever…

    Sherbet fountains? :-( whatever they were called….
