    I just came back from Denmark. They love liquorice over there. They have as much liquorice candy as other places have chocolate. There is more liquorice than chocolate. A couple of times I bought it by accident, thinking it was something else. At one point my friend was so afraid that he made sure that the hot-dog he’s buying doesn’t contain any liquorice.

      Count yourself lucky you didn’t visit around 10 years ago. There was a fad, following the rising popularity of “artisan” liquorice, to add liquorice to all sorts of weird stuff, like liquorice bacon, liquorice cheese and so on.

      I am a Dane, so naturally I love liquorice, but that shit was heinous, and luckily it didn’t catch on except for the liquorice chocolate and liquorice ice cream, which has both since become a staple here as well.
