I have notice with increased amount of foreigners the less licorice aviable in stores. By some reason most people outside Europe don't like it at all. Maybe it is something you need to try as child few times before you start to like it.

Love it - I can’t get enough of it

well.. there is "licorice" and then there is the "US Licorice" which is typically not made with any licorice root at all.. instead it is junk: Sugar, corn syrup, modified food starch, natural and artificial flavors, color added, Blue 2 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, beeswax, carnauba wax, confectioner's glaze... YUCK!

Licorice's botanical name, Glycyrrhiza, comes from the Greek for "sweet root;" it contains 8-10% sweet glycosides, up to 50 times sweeter than sugar, but with a sweetness distinct from fructose/glucose. The main flavor in the flavor profile comes from anethole ("anise" flavor,) hence all the confusion between anise-as-licorice and licorice-but-really-licorice.

allsorts are NOT licorice: Sugar, cane molasses, wheat flour, glucose syrup (contains sulphites), desiccated coconut, palm oil, beef gelatin, cornstarch, glycerol, natural colors (plain caramel, beetroot red, curcumin, paprika), fat reduced cocoa powder, licorice extract, natural flavorings (lemon, aniseed, raspberry, vanilla, orange), glazing agent (beeswax), fruit and vegetable juices for coloring. JUNK!

I like licorice. There is this candy, I do not know what it is called. However, it incorporates different sizes, colors, and shapes of licorice with the addition of other flavors like cocoanut, or molasses. I find them to be good. Some look like little licorice sandwiches with the top of brown or yellow with a black licorice middle, and a white bottom. Also black licorice ice-cream is very good too. Ich liebe viele arten Lakritze, alle schmecken ziemlich gut.

Liquorice Lover ♥️ I can't get enough. Sweet, salty, strong, a bit sticky, phantastic. You find good liquorice in Finland, Denmark and in The Netherlands. Vanilla ice with liquorice crumbles ... Phantastic 🤩 Liquorice can be very helpful against queasiness and against sorethroat (my personal experience). Unfortunately I cannot eat so much and not the strong liquorice because of blood pressure. But the childrens' edition is o.k.

I can still remember my first taste of it, I was 5 years old and I was hooked.

Anything with liquorice flavouring is right up my alley! Just the smell gets me wanting some. The Dutch make amazing liquorice! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

It’s wonderful . I need to purchase some from this company.

Can't have a good absinthe or sambuca without notes of licorice.

When I moved to the Netherlands I tried it and hated it but then somehow I grew to love it ,my favorite is the honey drop. I don’t eat it often because When I do I just keep on eating and Eating hard to control myself. My black cat is also named licorice.

You should try a saffron risotto with a sprinkle of powdered liquorice on top!

Here in South Africa we have delightful sweets called Liquorice Allsorts, a thin slice of liquorice nestled in between two layers of coconut Fondant. It's quite sweet, but I love these, also helping to up my low blood pressure.

I love it. Haven't had any in a long time,too long. Will buy some soon!

It is an acquired taste but I love it! I like the salted kinds from Sweden or Germany. Black licorice is not something traditional found in US candy. We have synthetic versions of it like Twizzlers, which are gross.

Twizzlers are lightly flavored plastic; you can't convince me otherwise.

Liquorice liquor from Calabria in Italy is also very well know! To drink in a shot glass with 1 ice-cube. I prefer salted liquorice from Finland, the ammoniac salt is a very specific taste. Dille & Kamille and Sostrene Grene have a great choice of liquorice.

Absolutely love it! ❤

from the hard rocks of pure extract to the totally processed pink and orange All Sorts - I LOVE IT ALL!!

I had little liquorice gums in Italy once. Beautiful. They were called Golia

Liquorice festival yearly (this year 13th July) at Pontefract in England where they make the famous Pomfret or Pontrefract liquorice cakes. The Liqourice growing triangle near to Pontefract is very famous. The plants are grown in the dark in huge indoor structures. Wilkinsons were the main producers of liquorice sweets.

Absolutely love it. As a kid I used to chew on the root. I like all kinds but I have a soft spot for the the ones with honey.

I have always loved licorice. The stronger the better. It's hard to not eat too much, but i have to watch it because of my blood pressure. Love love love it!

Lakritz ist meine absolute Lieblingssüssigkeit! Ich liebe deutsches Lakritz und auch niederländisches aber auf keinen Fall das spanische, weil es zu sehr nach Anis schmeckt. Getrocknete Lakritzwurzeln lutschen ist ein absoluter Genuss!

love love love it!

Hated it as a kid. Love it as an adult. Tastebuds evolve alongside age I guess. Like beer tasted horrible when young now older its like Ambrosia of the Gods 😋

These pastilles are the best thing to stop a cough. The mentha are lifesavers for stopping a nighttime cough.

It's a very potent laxative; useful if you live in the cheese covered lands of Holland- not so good in the fresh vegetable culture of the Mediterranean.

Tha KS for the reminder. I'll buy some soon

The first time I’ve tried licorice was in a form of ice cream.. it’s not bad and i would love to try it in its pure form or mixed in other foods.

The versions with sal ammoniac are an acquired taste but on the whole I love the taste.

I'm one of those Dutch, we call it "Drop" and might be me but sweet hard licorice* goes well with ultradark coffee. *Katjes voor de NL'er die meeleest.

Personally I love licorice. Baskin & Robbins 31 Flavors used to have a Licorice Ice Cream that I thought was amazing. Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead compared his band to Licorice. "We are like Licorice, some people hate it, but those that like licorice, really like it." Jerry sure had a way with words, and music.

I love it but there are very different tastes, the bitter version as children we called horse-blood - it was bitter and not really to a child's liking. I cannot recall if what we called horse-blood was Scandinavian or Dutch or even German - I like the sweeter variations. This was most interesting. Thank you.

In Canada, a lot of the all-sorts types I enjoyed and my parents enjoyed are gone, or the same manufacturers have changed them to be so sweet that they hurt your teeth. Other people I've spoken to agree with me about that. Far too sugary when it comes to Licorice All Sorts even from the same brands. What is also very hard to source now is the coarser texture, dark brown colour, and slightly bitter licorice that was shaped as pipes and cigars. That was Y&S brand. The closest to that we find in quantity is a variety of soft, dark licorice listed as "Australian".

Vodka licorice, anyone? Salmiakki Koskenkorva

I adore licorice and used to eat tons of it until I discovered it was probably making my heart condition worse. For people like me who are/were unaware ... licorice can damage your heart, cause arrhythmia and even heart attack IF you have heart conditions, high blood pressure etc. I was told 8 years ago to stop eating it. Makes me sad but I thank the creators of this video for making mention @3:36 of the blood pressure issue.

There's no way it affects you in any way, eaten every now and then. But if we talk about tons, you don't need to have a heart condition to feel the effect. That's why it's told in the video.

Its good if it has anise.

Does red Twizzler count as licorice? If so I consume a 400 gram bag every 2-1/2 weeks. I eat black licorice too, but it's not Twizzler, it's Wiley Wallaby. Thank you.

Best licorice choice used to be in the Netherlands: anijsstaafjes , dubbelzout en salmiak. Bruine beertjes, schoenveters, en zwart-op-wit. To name a few. Available on all the markets. Those were the days....

Tried the salty one in Stockholm!

love it ! But I am Dutch...

Good & Plenty is my favorite candy

You should separate the stuff so you don't include gummy bears and that other coloured stuff as liquorice. I have given liquorice to people all over the world, you should give them either pure liquorice, like the lozenges or Finnish liquorice, starchy, slightly sweet, like the wheels you show. Or give them a bit of the root to chew, i's good.

Yeh, when I ask people about it it's a love it or hate it thing. I love it! But the double salt coins from Denmark, that lasts about a minute in my mouth before ptuuui..out it goes..haha

I may be one of the few people who don't love or hate it. It is not my favorite sweet, but if I want sweets and there isn't anything else, I eat it.

ich liebe Amarelli Lakritz!

My favourite candy ever! The saltier the better. 😊

What is shown in the video (apart from the licoriche extract in Italy) has very little on nothing to do what I would even consider licorice. That german candy they maybe call Lakritz, but is just candy. For real Licoorice go to the Netherlands.

You say licorice in the US, you're gonna get anise. I have tried "black" (actual) licorice, and I was not a fan. Then I heard about salt licorice, and I'm not even going there. I love me some anise, though. I'll take _all_ the black jelly beans....
