-At least- The Netherlands, Sweden and Finland are taking an offense !

Current fda is so fucked they probably like black licorice.
I don’t understand. I honestly love black licorice.
They wouldn’t even make it if no one liked it. I also like dishes that use fennel or anise.
Always have and always will. Red licorice is the garbage one.
I was in my teens, I think, the first time a friend said they liked black licorice. I really thought they were kidding, just blew my mind. I mean, if you like something, you like it, can’t really argue with that. Still.
I think the flavor is too strong on its own for people to appreciate, but you may be surprised how it has been used in dishes you loved.
I know this a shitpost, because yet another food item legitimately has shit in it, this is now a constant problem in America.
I can only presume it’s because the workers are treated extremely badly, remunerated poorly, and the corpos face no consequences for apparently disgusting factories, and there’s no regulations?
There’s no reason this should happen in a modern factory, there should be three hand wash stations before a worker even gets close to the food.
“American food tastes like shit”
Nah, it’s just that some people don’t like the flavor of anise.
Okay but for real a little anise in a few recipes makes them taste right. I do not like the taste of black licorice but I keep a little star anise in the spice cupboard and a small piece makes ramen taste right.
It’s an acquired taste. Of shit.
Not a shitpost, but don’t eat too much black licorice all at once, it can cause heart problems. Too much of the glycyrrhizin produced naturally in the plant’s root that’s used to make black licorice causes your kidneys to flood potassium out into your blood and it’ll mess up the electrical signals in your heart. You have to eat like two bags a day for two weeks though.
Most licorice candy is actually made from anise root, which has no glycyrrhizin.
Eh, I can’t eat it anymore, anyway. Gives me a headache.
The chocolate one is also gross and weird and yet you end up eating all of it.
Well, now I want to try a peanut butter and black licorice sandwich on sourdough toast with butter.
I bet that would be amazing.
We’re gonna need a name for this sandwich, too.
I love black licorisse. This is a tragedy
I love some black licorice. Could go either way for the ones in the post.
Same here. I’m actually having some as I type this.
not surprised, american liquorice has a tragic lack of ammonium chloride
Salmiak is life.
To be fair, there’s probably plenty of lead in it.
Well, yeah, we like to shoot at our licorice, as is tradition.
Moved to Sweden, tried salted licorice. Somehow even worse. Ammonium chloride is legitimately the worst flavor I’ve ever had in my mouth and I put everything in there
Or you’re just weak. If my candy isn’t trying to kill me, what’s the point.
I tried one of the saltiest ones there while actively suffering from kidney failure so it was literally killing me.
It tasted amazing.
Nordics: Good. More for us.

Unfortunately, these days it feels like there’s poison in almost everything, as if they’re trying to kill us faster.
Is the FDA announcing this, so I’m guessing the announcement is that somehow the licorice has been contaminated with uranium or something because they just keep escalating.
This particular screenshot was from 2018, but nowadays you are totally right. Just waiting to see the next thing they announce has been recalled.
Too honest to be coming from this FDA
