Can anyone suggest a candy store or European grocery in Broward (or, if not, Miami-Dade or Palm Beach) that sells Dutch double-salt licorice?

have only tasted the Raspberry, not the black licorice or the orange. The raspberry is not too sweet, all natural ingredients, very satisfying as a chewy and sweet treat. Any one else come across it?

Where can one purchase (uncooked) black tapioca, the sort that is used in bubble tea? I want to experiment with it; the slight licorice-like taste and firm texture might make a great pudding. I asked all over Spadina Chinatown...

Its not actually black, its a very, very, very, very dark green. It does appear to be black though. IIRC, it has a very slight licorice taste (I haven’t had it in about 6-7 years). Its mainly good for making mixed drinks, but...

Don’t know if it’s the exact same gum, but I bought something quite similar for my sister, thinking it was the same as the old Black Jack licorice gum....turns out definitely NOT. And, it was Japanese. Found it at...

Sweet Life, 212-598-0092, at 63 Hester Street (the corner of Hester St. & Ludlow St.) in the lower east side has many types of imported black licorice. I’ve seen them make assortment of other types of candy in nice...

I am a black licorice fanatic. I like real black licorice the best but honestly any black licorice, even artificially flavored, will do. Well, I was bemoaning the fact to a friend that it is getting harder and harder to find bags...

. I was especially impressed with the licorice selection. I didn’t buy any this trip because I splurged on that Zotter bar ($8). However, a little of each type of licorice will be my next purchase there … I believe there was fleur...

in Oaxaca or Veracruz... but still a most intriguing flavor combination that the wife found to be an acquired taste, but one that is acquired after exactly 3 bites. Basic Ingredients: Refried Black Beans Fresh Epazote Leaves Dried...

What great suggestions. You could perhaps get a cheap (or washable) checkerboard and put some small red things on black squares and vice versa. And a couple bowls of red and black licorice placed around the room for sweet nibbles.

Our Saturday Growers Market has a *Mushroom Man" and I bought some black trumpet mushrooms from him this morning. When I have a really special ingredient, I especially want to cook something where that is the main taste. So...

I’m not sure why the lemongrass is in there though. I’ll probably try the black tea with cinnamon next. Tea isn’t really something I look for in Latino markets so I don’t know how widely distributed it is....
