Dutch double salt licoricePosted Mar 2nd 2006 7:39PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Candy, Raves & ReviewsI've never liked black licorice. I don't mind the taste of fennel or anise, and I'll even drink Sambuca
every now and then, but I've always found black licorice repulsive. That is, until I tried this Dutch "dubbel
zout" or double salt licorice. A Dutch co-worker was a fan, and she ate it with such zeal that I had to give it a
try. To my surprise, it had all of the anise flavor I enjoy but none of the qualities I dislike in regular black
licorice. That said, almost everyone else I know hates the stuff. Every time I buy it, the lady at the candy store
inevitably says something like, "You're actually gonna eat that?" The folks over at Bad-Candy.com aren't fans, either. But I am.
Just imagine the taste of licorice but instead of cloyingly sweet, it's really, really salty. My Dutch friend says
it'll sooth a cough too. [Photo: Nick Vagnoni]
