I love black licorice! Yum! I like red licorice like Red Vines. I don't like Twizzlers and do NOT consider them licorice. ......................................

I looooove black licorice. I can’t eat a lot of it at one time, but a few pieces is perfect.

This thread reminded me of a candy we had as a child (70's-80's) called Good & Plenty. They were pill/tablet shaped with pink or white coating and licorice inside. I think licorice is ok, but I don't love it. If you could die from eating chocolate in huge amounts, I would be in trouble!

Red vines: so good! Twizzlers: so gross. Don’t consider those to be licorice.
Black jelly beans: yes please! Good and plenty: absolutely!
Just eating black licorice- no thanks. I guess I need the candy coating. 😂

AussieMeg the mayo sounds different but awesome. I had a gorgeous squid dish with Pernod glaze at Watson's Bay many years ago and I still remember it. The slice is one I've made too, so easy and very popular.

Yikes, that’s a lot of licorice!
I only like red Red Vines. But only in moderation...like once or twice a year.

“Red licorice” isn’t actually licorice...it’s candy. As a licorice lover this is an annoyance of mine.
I love most licorice, but not the overly salty versions. Unfortunately I’m not able to eat it as much anymore because most contain wheat (at least in the US).

I love licorice except for red vine. I couldn’t eat at much as the man did though!

It was on the menu a few years ago at George Colombaris' restaurant "Jimmy Grants" and it was to die for. I can't believe I just bought a $40 bottle of ouzo just to make the mayo!

Stereotypical red twizzlers? (honestly have no idea if it’s strawberry or cherry-all tastes the same to me)? Yes, I looooooove it. I am esp happy when I can get it in a smaller pack that I can eat in 1 day, vs a larger pack that I have to put in a ziplock because there is so much leftover.
Black anis flavored licorice? Hell no! I’d rather eat pretty much anything else on the planet. I have an intense aversive reaction to anise. Just smelling it makes me want to vomit. A lot. 🤢

I'm not a fan of liquorice sweets but I do like liquorice and peppermint tea. I can't imagine eating that much of any sweet every day tbh, poor bloke must have been really addicted.

I really hate the smell and taste of licorice. It makes my stomach hurt to think about it.
My SIL loves it so much, she buys bags of entirely black jellybeans at Easter. Yuck!

Red licorice (normal regular Twizzlers) yes, black anise ones... DH likes some anise flavored cookies that his mom makes at Christmas time, so he might like black licorice. But I can't see him eating that much. I LOVE red Australian licorice but haven't had it in over a year. I get it every now and then when I find it as a treat but I despise black licorice. Ick! And eating that much in a day. Wow! So sad.

I don't mind the favor of black liquorice, but I do know of it's potentially dangerous effects. I take chewable deglycirrhizinated liquorice (DGL) for GERD and it has the flavor. Miracle drug, that.

Red vines: so good! Twizzlers: so gross. Don’t consider those to be licorice. Black jelly beans: yes please! Good and plenty: absolutely! Just eating black licorice- no thanks. I guess I need the candy coating. 😂 When I first married my husband, I bought some Red Vines when we were shopping with my in-laws and I said it was my favorite candy. For the next twenty years, every time they came to visit or we visited them, they gave me two or three packages of strawberry Twizzlers. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that Strawberry Twizzlers were completely different than cherry flavored red vines.

I have loved red vines since I was a young child and hate Twizzlers. Can’t force myself to eat them. Favorite thing to do at the movies is to bite the ends off of my red vines and use them as straws for my Diet Coke. They then get cold and more rigid and yummy.

We have to go to the movies together sometime! I love to soak my Red Vines in Diet Dr. Pepper! I'm usually a Diet Coke drinker, but I love the taste of cherry Dr. Pepper at the movies. Of course, the cherry flavor has to come from the Red Vines in order to taste just right.

The best part is most people don’t like them so there’s usually a shelf full the day after Easter so you can stock up at half price!

I will eat black licorice in moderation on occasion. I prefer Snaps, Good ‘n’ Plenty or Allsorts (especially the little “sandwiches”) as opposed to plain black licorice whips. I’m not a huge fan of those. I think only black anise flavored licorice has the stuff in it that made that guy sick. It does have a laxative quality also if you eat too much at once. One of our dogs years ago ate a bag of it that he got down from the kitchen counter, and ooh that was nasty! I think people with a red licorice addiction are probably not going to die from it, LOL.
I LOOOOOOOVE red licorice and usually have a bag around both at home and at the lake cabin. I’ll eat strawberry Twizzlers, cherry Nibs or Red Vines, don’t really care which. I’m not a huge fan of Pull ‘n’ Peel though for some reason, it tastes weird to me. I used to like Red Vines the best but it seems like it gets hard and crumbly if you don’t eat the whole pack within a day or so of opening it.
Now there are all kinds of different flavors of licorice like strawberry lemonade, grape, orange, chocolate, Dr. Pepper even. I don’t usually buy those, but the chocolate is kind of good for something different.
When I was a kid we had these red strawberry licorice ribbons called Delfa Rolls (I think now they’re called Broadway Rolls) and they were THE BEST. They’re hard to come by now but can be ordered from Olde Time Candy online. We also used to love getting red shoestring licorice which we would braid or tie into big knots before eating it. The times I’ve had it more recently (as in, like ten years ago) it wasn’t the same and tasted kind of waxy.

Black licorice is the best candy on the planet. But I really only every want 3 or 4 pieces and I can only figure it in large quantities.
