I tried German licorice once and couldn't swallow it. Is Dutch licorice all that different from the deutsch?

That's like asking if Dutch beer is all that different from German beer (or English beer to American beer)!
Yes, I think that there is a distinct regional flavour.

Good to see this thread!
I'm the only one in my house or extended family that likes Dutch licorice. For those in the states this is a good source. My favorite is the "Drop 2000" which has a sweet, herbal flavor.
As much as I've wanted to like them... the salty ones are still a "challenge".

i love licorice but have never tried the dutch stuff. that will have to be the next thing i try, any recomendations on what kinds to try and where to get it?. i have noticed that when it comes to licorice i have never met anyone who just "kinda" likes it, it seems that you either love it or you hate it, that is just what i seem to have notced

Germans make licorice? I thought they just placed rubber in their candy.

Off course I only had the dutch licorice (drop over here) so I wont comment on the German stuff...
I like the double salt soft ones best..I hate the sweet hard "munt drop" they stick between my molars..
I used to work for an american company in Florida and when we had a meeting over there we used to bring some over in different flavours. Some people didn't really expect the bitter licorice
...
Some liked it and some realy didnt

Granted their licorice tastes like crap, but I'm sorry, their chocolate is the best in the world. I guess I'm not so far removed from the boat that I don't have some pride in German chocolates Originally Posted by LX_Emergency

Does it count if even though I haven't done it in a long time, I enjoy chewing on an actual licorice stick? The twig.
