Love them. Great in cakes. Work well with figs. I think my penchant for them came as a consequence from downing a bottle of syrup of figs as a toddler.
Whilst celebrating what the Victorians gave us, we should also remember they gave us Christmas dates, nuts and Turkish Delight, brandy sauce and, And Liquorice............
I love em and through the year there only around sixty pence from poundstretcher. For a treat. Stone them and dip in good chocolate. I prefer them to crisps or nuts
How do you pronounce it though? It’s always been liquorish here, and long may it remain so. We fought hard for Brexit so we wouldn’t have these silly continental pronunciations foistered on us!
