That bit about anemia is interesting, I'd never heard that before. I can
tell you that I've been anemic in the last few months, but I don't crave
black licorice...however, I have been craving the Australian red licorice
;-)

I've heard about the Panda brand. My mom likes licorice "all sorts" if you
know what those are. They have a variety of shapes and additional things,
like non-pareils and such. I'll have to tell her about the Panda brand of
licorice, so she can try that.

And about those dogs...with our schnauzer, Lucy, it's green beans. I don't
know what it is, but whenever I make them, she sits right under the table
during dinner. lol!

Fennel is said to be (in flavor) like a mild version of anise. I had a
stir-fry that included fennel, but I didn't detect any licorice-like flavor
to it..most just the flavor of the 5 spice powder

I'm the same way with alot of things. Coconut, I feel just as you do. About
the only exception I found was a macadamia encrusted mahi mahi when we were
in Hawai'i that had small slivers of unsweetened coconut in the crust. It
was really good, and didn't taste coconutty, probably because it wasn't
sweet coconut. I feel the same about most any sweet food put into savory
dishes, with a few exceptions, like bbq sauce. But apples or raisins in my
stuffing? No, thanks. Fruit salsa on my fish? Nah, I'll pass. :-)

Now, see, I'd have sorted them out too...but not for the reason you did ;-)
I always take those and the cinnamon ones out. No one here likes the black
licorice ones, but my husband will always take the cinnamon!

Thanks for the link to the all sorts Sheldon! My mom loves those (they're
her favorite confection, actually), but they're not easy to find without
them being dry and hard. She'll be happy to see this.

I hate licorice and aniseed with a passion... the only form of anise I
can handle is star anise used in moderation. I also hate fresh dill
because it tastes/smells like aniseed to me.

I used to feel that way. I think it was those horrible licorice whips as a
kid. Yuk! But, I later discovered better black licorice, imported from
Europe. A whole different ballgame.

Still, I eschewed most licorice flavored food and drink. Pernod? Gag? Yet
Galiano, a basic anise flavored liqueur, tastes completely different when
used sparingly in a Harvey Wallbanger. It was when I discovered Italian
baked goods like anise biscotti that I really discovered I like anise. I'm
now loving it. I even buy the candy coated anise seeds like you find in
Indian restaurants.

You might try starting with a very light licorice flavored item like fennel
root. Fennel is like a cross between celery and licorice, but the licorice
part is so understated as to be almost undetectable (except when dried).
Here's a great recipe using fresh fennel root that you'll love and I dare
you to dislike it:

http://tinyurl.com/6chf9v

Also, go to a coffee shop/cafe and try an anise biscotti. To die for.

Enjoy =D

a. I really dislike black licorice.

b. I really DO like anise, fennel, tarragon, and most other flavor that
people associate with licorice. I don't mind ouzo but don't
particularly like anisette. Maybe it's the sweetness I don't like in
both cases.

Like good-quality black liquorice and the salted type. Used to chew on
liquorice root when I was a kid.

Don't consider anise, star anise or fennel bulb to taste much like
liquorice (or like each other) but like them all in context.

You can find Panda licorice at World Market and Kroger. I am sure there are
other outlets but those are the places that carry it in my area.
For some reason, a lot of dogs love green beans. I split a can with my dogs
once a week. It seems to keep their inner workings working just fine.

One dog, Rossco loves radishes. He will take one (has to be somewhat large)
and put it between his paws. He will proceed to carefully peel the red peel
off, leaving a little white ball. Both dogs love watermelon and hate
popcorn.

I like licorice candy and I use Chinese 5 Spice powder sometimes. It
contains: Anise, Cinnamon, Star Anise, Cloves and Ginger. A little goes
a long way with me. I don't like too strong a licorice flavor in my
food. A friend used to love Sen-Sen Candy, but that was way to strong
for me.

I don't agree with that version, but..... Take a look at this informative

I feel like I'd eat some if it were in front of me. My late MIL used to
like the Panda (?) brand for its laxative effect on her. Who knew. Who
needed to know?
