Licorice...Is it a DO or a DON'T For You?

I am an avid reader of Serious Eats and this article got me to thinking. I just love black licorice! Licorice is one of those things that it seems like you love or you hate; there's not a middle ground. As I said, I am a black licorice girl. I don't mind the red, but to me, it's just not licorice. I have great memories of going to Silver Dollar City for family vacations. One of our favorite spots was the candy store where my sister and I could watch the candy makers in action. Then, we could go into the store and sample ourselves silly. I still always ended up with my old standby, black licorice pillows. MMMM, I can almost taste them.

So, are you a red, black, or no thank you?
