Licorice Memories

This is a bit different than a post about getting organized or changing your life because it's about licorice.

I love black licorice which is a disapearing product in the United States. If you do find licorice it's usually strawberry and occasionally cherry and only sometimes black. Even if it is black it's usually just one kind. I remember when there were many kinds of black licorice available. Pipes, scottie dogs, vines, twists, etc. And each one of them tasted slightly different and I certainly liked some better than others. My absolute favorite has always been Pontefract Cakes. It's an English licorice from Pontefract (where they actually have a licorice festival each year) and there were at least a half dozen companies that made it. Now as far as I can tell there are one, maybe two companies that make it. And it's increasingly hard to find (yes even with the internet). If it is available it's often out of stock.

So I entered the http://www.licoriceinternational.com/ contest for a licorice memory and won for January. You can find the entry on their website under the Licorice Memories contest. Just click on the button.
