| Apparently I didn't blog this last time I found it, I bookmarked it and then my computer had its meltdown, link lost. Google is always extremely unhelpful in my attempts to find real licorice (or liquorice) extract, and the only site I've found that sells it is this one. I'm now going to say some words so that next time I'm looking for it maybe my own blog will come up and have the link; real authentic 100% black licorice extract sticks with no sugar, herbal remedy, and, er, I think that's everything I tried to no avail. (The eventual search that found me the link was a physical "maybe the URL is written on the bag that still has some licorice in it from last time I bought it" search. When will Google be indexing items in my house?)

| Must it be extract? Here's a link to liquorice root: http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/liquorice-wood-p-111.html I always thought the stuff was common place as I got it bought for me in France all the time when small, but the approximately two British people I've spoken to about it have treated me like I'm insane, and have never heard of it, so maybe it's rare and useful to you. Perhaps you're hard-core enough to make your own extract. |

| Mm, extract is nicer to eat, though I do quite like licorice root too. That tends to act more like chewing gum rather than a sweet. And I have considered making extract from it, because it would be interesting to add other things, such as dessicated coconut or peppermint oil. (Combinations I've enjoyed with candy-licorice that I think would also be good with real-licorice.) |

| Brilliant. Eaglesurfing, why didn't I think of that? |

| Did you ever get the licorice? Does this lack keep you from bogging? |
| RavenBlack |
| I still have some from the previous batch. I'm told licorice is helpful for bogging, though I've never noticed. If you meant to say blogging then no, just not really felt inclined. |

| meant to say blogging didn't spell check and the plugins irk me. |
