Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

*gets on soapbox*

Let me just make it clear: anise is not licorice. It is often used in products that are then called licorice but anise is from an entirely different plant. Anise: [link] Licorice: [link]

I happen to like both flavors and I don't even mind if a licorice candy uses both licorice root and anise.

Kat, I think the difference is that I can check books out from UC libraries. And if that's not different, then the UCLA Alumni Assoc is using false advertising when it says that privileges at all UC libraries is a benefit of membership.

I really should go to LAPL. I haven't been there since the early '80s, I think.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Also? Red and other flavor Vines, Twizzlers, etc. is not licorice.

And now for something completely different:

Bags of cereal-type marshmallows.

My glucose went up just looking at the site.

I did kind of think of them as interchangeable (anise and licorice). I know the red ones are not licorice, but I don't like them either. Too waxy or something. The Red Vines are safe from me.

Also? White "chocolate" is not chocolate. You may love it, but don't call it chocolate.

I don't consider milk chocolate chocolate, either. So white chocolate never stood a chance with me.

Also....

Huh. Not only did I think licorice was anise, I was under the distinct impression (from somebody who had a pretty thorough knowledge of plants) that anise and fennel were the same plant.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I don't care if licorice isn't anise (though in the middle east it sometimes made out of it) - they both taste like teh evil.

White chocolate and milk chocolate heretics: I'll bring some extra Max Brenner of these kinds to the U.S. just for you, and watch you, in person, rejoice at your wrongness. There!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also? White "chocolate" is not chocolate. You may love it, but don't call it chocolate.

I've never entirely understood this argument - white chocolate is cocoa butter. Saying it's not chocolate is like saying skim milk isn't really milk.

Salty licquorice is my favourite food group. Om nom nom. I'm going to Finland at the end of the month and expect to eat little else. Mmm salmiakki.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Skim milk is just white water.
