I wanted sweets from the old days of big glass jars in the corner shop, so I bought aniseed balls and cola cubes online, because they are no where in my sleepy town.
I only briefly glanced at the weights and assumed they were about right, and in my giddy, pre sugared state I glossed over the price.
Imagine my surprise when I got a kilo of each.
I have eaten so many aniseed balls everything tastes like medicine, which I also quite like.
I live in a country where licorice basically doesn’t exist and I have to import it. I’ve let a few different people try the double-salted stuf and they can’t believe I actually like it, they think I’m insane.
You have my pity. Americans, in general, hate licorice, but thankfully it is still available.
