A warning about black licorice
This final note today, in which I stand up for what really counts as licorice and what doesn't. It comes by way of an FDA report that adults over the age of 40, who eat more than two ounces of black licorice a day for two weeks straight, are at risk for heart arrhythmia.
So be careful.
But my point actually is this: The red stuff, apparently, is OK. That red stuff? It's not really licorice. I don't care what they say.
hi Kai,
you're right about licorice. the red stuff is not licorice.
i feel the same way about "martinis". a martini is gin and dry vermouth. a dry martini is just gin. ok, if you don't like gin, i'll allow vodka. but i'm sorry, substituting fruit juice and sugar rims aren't acceptable! you can drink that stuff, but please, call it something else!
