Originally posted by MissOleumI had some of the "double salt" a few months ago.
those are allsorts, the Dutch stuff is found in the specialties section of the supermarket, looks like normal licorice in small size pieces but is savoury rather than sweet, and there's one called something like "dubbel zout" for double-salt that's really ugh!

It sort of hurt.
And I love salty stuff.
Also, I remember those "snail" thingies. Those were good. I have licorice Altoids in my car.

I found that prior to fatherhood I had no use for black jelly beans. After several patriarchal years of screening bags of jelly beans, I have acquired a taste for them.
p.s. I know there is a difference between acquiring a taste in the context you are using...but that doesn't mean I have to like that phrase any more than I do now! 😛

Originally posted by tomtom232I know what you are thinking, but take beer for example. Pa gave me beer when I was a kid. It tasted like hell. I got older and now I enjoy the complex flavors in beer. I acquired the taste for it by knowing what to taste for. In fact I homebrew so I can experiment with flavors in beer.
