Except for Finnish licorice, of course. That's the Real Stuff. Yum.


Can I get it in the States? Whatever you mean by "the real stuff"?
I tried a Web search , found US distributors, but came up with a lot
of terms I can't interpret in light of my experience. Ex: "Sweet"
and "salty" licorice.

Is the one you're on about in solid strings, and are they soft or
chewy..

Etc.

More info would be welcome


The "real stuff" is *very* potent and bears no relation to the candy
that us folks in the states call licorice.

I don't know if you can buy it over here. I know some Danish girls who
get their mom to send it to them. They love the stuff. I think you have
to be raised eating it to like it.
