I've yet to meet a food that's not made either better or at least interesting by the addition of some salt.

Oh, all of them are made worse, pretty much, if it's enough salt to taste. Including caramel.

I do not like licorice, except I do like the root to chew on. That's incredibly tasty, and I used to work a root for days. Supposed to be good for the teeth too. But licorice flavour in stuff is nasty.

Spidra, when you say you have to pay for ILL, which libraries were you talking about?

I haven't met a salted caramel I liked as much as the unsalted kind but I lurves me that salted licorice. The double-salted is a little much, though.

I wish the Vosges dark chocolate bacon bar didn't have extra salt. It's delish, but it could be even better.

One would think bacon was salty enough already. But I believe vosges is the one I've had and I nommed it but good.

They make a normal salt quantity one with milk chocolate, and an extra salty dark.

Me? I buy low sodium bacon in the first place. Still, chocolate ismakes up for a host of sins.

I don't remember if I had milk or dark. Dark is my default but they only had one bacon chocolate bar for sale when I bought mine. Clearly I need to buy both now so I can decide which one is better.

Shir, glad to hear you are on the mend, even if ya had to hold your nose to make it happen.

Licorice and it's imitators are ick. Although, some fennel seeds in sausage can be interesting. But not a lot. The taste is strong enough, it doesn't need to be concentrated.

Got to chat with cute girl at work a bit today. Commented that there wasn't enough time for proper transfer of brain info. She said "you can call me" I clarified, even if it isn't for work? She beamed an awesome smirk, and said "hell yeah!". So I hope that's a good sign.

yay cute girl!

omnis, that sounds like a good sign to me.

ita, the South Pasadena Public Library charges $2 to ask for something through ILL.

For those wanting salt licorice, try IKEA or nordichouse.com Looks like Amazon's got some too. [link]
