Weird Sweet!

Anyone remember, that liquorice that looked like a twig? Was about the late 60's early 70's then disappeared. I remember I tried it once and it tated like what it looked like, the branch of a tree.

Liquorice root, my mum loves it, you can still get it in our local market.

Thanks for that, I was brought up in the midlands but I'm abroad now so they may still have it around there for all I know.

Yes I do Heather, but even better than that is Spanish Juice sticks - look like small sticks of LIQUORICE but it is brittle - very easilly snapped. Seems to be only available at Chemist shops these days and I can't find a pic of it anywhere !! Will have to nip in the Chemist and see if it has a 'posh' name these days
