Even salty licorice, it's delicious! I love giving it to my friends to try and watching their reactions... hilarious!

I found that more men than women that I talked to, like black licorice. I notice that there are more women than men on this survey who like it... may just mean that men haven't given it much thought. In fact most people that I have talked to, haven't given it much thought. I love black licorice and have been doing a personal survey for a number of years.

I used to avoid black jelly beans as a kid, but I've grown to really like all licorices as an adult (since I was 25 or so, about 12 years ago), especially Liquorice Altoids. I have a feeling that at least some of the people who are anti-licorice have probably not tried it again since they were young.

I love both the American version and the European versions of it, more than red licorice, in fact. The Dutch licorice is certainly salty, but all black licorice used to be like that, so I can appreciate the fact that it's true to the original.

It is one of my favorites. If I had a choice between black or red licorice I will always choose black. My father likes it too, but my mother doesn't. I also heard that it will settle an upset stomac, although I'm not sure if that is entirely true. I love black licorice. It is one of my favorites.

I can't understand why people don't like it, it's so tasty =). I've even tried salted licorice, double salted licorice and I'm quite fond of it. Although, I think it's an acquired taste, since my dad is from Holland. I love salty licorice diamonds & boerderij drops =O. I simply ADORE black licorice, I especially love the nibs.

Oddly enough, it does taste kind of like black licorice but then again it doesn't. I am still looking for a place that sells it here in washington state. If you have not had this ice cream you must try it! everyone I have told about it was like ewwww. Gross! Until they tasted it and now everyone I introduced to it is hooked on it. Baskins and robins is the first place I ever had it back in the 1960's and I found a website you can order it form but I would rather have a frsh scoop or three right there. Try this! I am telling you...You will love it even if, like me, you don't like black licorice I don’t really like black licorice, but I do love black licorice ice cream.

My other sister, though, she likes it and my mother loves it. My father doesn't care for it. I suppose it's a mixture of your own taste buds and whether or not you grew up with it.

Gosh.... This is absolutely true that licorice is damn good! I prefer the black one. :] I'm not really fond of red lico.... The black lico rox much more! I'm 16 so it's too stereotypical to think that only old people like licorice. Moreover, honestly I think most of Asians don't like licorice.... But hey, I'm one of those Asians who loves it! I began to love it since my older sis bought me.... She actually doesn't like it, but she just wanted to taste it and she's fine with it. But well since she only like wanted to eat 1... Then I decided to finish it! Gahaha then I became addicted to it! LOL Think I’m the 47th of Lico-addicted! Gosh…. This is absolutely true that licorice is damn good!
