Ugh, just finished digging the birds out. Runs are snow-blowed, coops are cleaned off, and I am cold.

So apparently you can get dutch licorice here. Looks similar to second image of yours. Licorice coins? But darrell lea is our iconic licorice. And I screen shot the google description of our licorice. Unsure if its written by an honest Australian or a sassy AmericanView attachment 2456037

Never had Australian Licorice! But i love the description of the hard and flavourless twizzler pipe cleaners. They're only good to clean out sewage pipes!
Real licorice must discolor your teeth, give you heartburn and drive your A1C values so high that your doc will suffer a heart-attack! Those are my absolute favourites:

I love Darrell Lea. Tractor Supply actually sells it, and I buy it all the time, lol. They also had Wiley Wallaby licorice for a bit, which I also liked. That one's actually made in America, though.

I've also had Kookaburra licorice, which the Vermont Country Store imports from Australia. Also very good.

All red licorice, though. I don't like black licorice.

Red licorice is not licorice, just red candy with the name licorice plastered on it...

I am a black licorice connoisseur, I eat it all.

I have never seen the stuff you posted. It must be Southie licorice.

Nope! That is Dutch licorice. The Dutch make (imho!) the best licorice in the world!

I was going to send the one about the guy that died from eating it but I saw someone already attached it. Seems if you too much you have a heart attack.

Quick! We all need to eat black licorice or chew on licorice roots!
​

Look at this article: »Glycyrrhizin: An alternative drug for the treatment of COVID-19 infection and the associated respiratory syndrome?«
Glycyrrhizin is one of the main ingrediencies of the licorice root, so i now have the excuse to order as much Licorice as i want on Amazon! It's all to fight back CoVid19! Stay healthy everybody and eat black licorice - the original with licorice-root extract!

It's sweet, unhealthy and tastes like chemical plant.

Lisa, I haven't been there, but if I'm not mistaken, his pit master used to be in San Antonio. Or close by. I haven't been to Texas since probably 93... But she really does look like the person I met in 86. If so, it's really really good BBQ, but mine's better in IMHO.

Hillbilly, I sooooo miss the candies available in Europe. Packed full of flavor. I really miss the chocolates from the Danish court. Yum

Don't - get - me - started - on - chocolate!
You poor Americans with your Hershey's "chocolate"…
One good thing about it is that i don't eat much chocolate anymore since i live here. I still can't decide what is the best: Godiva (Belgian), Marabou (Swedish) or Lindt (Swiss). German Chocolate (Milka, Ritter Sport) was good until the 90's before they started to add all kind of cheap crap from Bayer to their recipe…
