[Closed] Liquorice where's it gone?

You need to visit here if your addiction is that bad 😆 salty skulls and salty fish should see you right.

This dutch stuff you're speaking of....

No, don't tell me.

wait

er...

Oh no, the ice cream pic you posted just loaded.. 💡

Derek. Ok, I'm shaking now.

At the weekly market in Leiden the licquorice truck visits. It's standard market stall truck with hundreds. (seriously 😯 ) of varieties of Licquorice. Dutch aficianados know what each shape means in terms of taste so every 'house' or 'fish' etc is the same flavour no matter the manufacturer.

They had 4 or 5 smiling Women serving doling bag after bag of goods to the salivating masses. I just ordered a kilo of mixed.

It's called drop over there.

Had me out in the lunchtime looking, no joy.

That big box for 13 quid...

The way I'm feeling now, knowing also I've managed 7 months, it'll barely last the weekend and those natural sticks, I'd ride chewing them, we don't have Holland & Barretts down here in British Eastern Europe even Marks & Sparks gave up the ghost.

Picton Road, is that in Wales? Anything to do with Picton Boats?

I went to Castle Douglas (Scotland) the other day, if you are ever passing (maybe when visiting 7 Staines?) there's a good health food shop on the high street that sells the solid liquorice, as well as the liquorice root. There's also a sweety shop close by to stock up on other classics, here's my stash:

I've disolved a chunk of the liquorice (hard stuff) in some boiling water, which is a new one on me, but pretty good.

mmm liquorice.

There's a great stall at Borough Mkt
