Don't think so. Don't like Crunchies.

Doubt I could get it anyway, this is way down south.

Nolls, I like marzipan too, but I think it was made with a substitute for the ground almonds during the war.

My ancient cookery book has two recipes, one for uncooked marzipan and the other for cooked. The latter is the one they recommend for making potatoes, fruits etc.

Liquorice and Turkish Delight? No thanks.

Well thanks a bunch for putting up this thread Paula!

I have just been looking on the All About Liquorice website and spent money when I didn't mean to!

Salt liquorice winging it's way to me, can't wait, sod the bills!

I know the one you mean. It is not one I am particularly keen on.

Have a shufty on the All Things Liquorice website. It will inspire you to be very adventurous!

Most of it is sugar free and we all know what sugar free sweets are like. It is liquorice and we all know what liquorice is like as well, don't we?
