I think so! Natural Licorice root is so sweet I only actually taste it on my sweet taste buds! So strange but it really only feels like I have something on the sides of my tongue. I enjoy the root too Chris, but it is a mild laxative so I don't go after it too often.

There is the original Switzer's Licorice Sticks. I used to place boxcars in and out of their plant in St. Louis back in my railroad days. The plant is not there anymore. I don't know where they make it now.

Ok, had to dig this one up... because of everyone talking about Panda licorice and because I always see it at the store I had to finally try it...

I'll say it... Panda licorice isn't that good.

Frankly it tasted about the same as what jelly belly calls licorice. Seems like a diluted Americanized flavor honestly. Sorry.

I would like to try some good strong European licorice some day, but for now, my favorite is English Allsorts!

I am from Norway, so some of my favorites are Norwegian.
Here are the good ones: Panda, School chalks, The glazed "caplets" (they sell them in the US too) and IFA
The AWESOME ones: "drugstore licorice" (hard crystaline sticks that have a very strong taste, not too sweet, not too salty, but very much licorice) and "mouse crap" the same stuff only each piece is about as big as those made by mice.

I might have to make a licorice sampler....hmm......

Who would be interested in a Dutch licorice sampler? I'd put in many different kinds in a standard package. It depends on how many people are interested in this though.

Uh....IM IN!

Me too!!! yum yum!!

i would be interested, it sounds great!!!
