Lovely Licourice!!!

OK... However you spell it, I love this stuff!

I`m an addict. When I was a kid I spent all my pocket money on licourice:

Licourice allsorts (my favourites today) -- licourice twists -- licourice comfits and torpedoes -- licourice mints -- licourice sandwich -- licourice pipes... These last were my favourites as a kid. I`d work my way down the stem and be left with the big knob at the end with the shiny red beads representing the firey bit. In it would go in one piggy mouthful! Heaven!

And Pontefract cakes! How could I forget those delicious discs of shiny sweet licourice?

God knows what it`s doing to my teeth!
