I always thought licorice and anise were one in the same. I come from Ouzo country too - shame on me! I love that I'm constantly learning something new with this game!

FiannaFianna, I have low BP also, so licorice is my best friend. At one point my BP was 77/20. Yep, doc wanted to know who carried me into his office. Its not that low anymore, though. Phew! Doc said in all his years of practice he'd never written a scrip for medication to increase BP. Yuh know, there's always one...

Mardell Riley, yes it is good for getting things moving (hahaha). It is also good for raising blood pressure. I take it because I have very low blood pressure. It's sometimes so low I stand up and black out. Licorice really helps. And it tastes awesome to boot.

Ancient Chinese herbal medicine knew about licorice, but I wonder who first thought to dig up the licorice root and see what could be done with it. ???

ZealousJelly5831, I've seen video clips of the diving horse. What cruelty! I shudder to think what people did to that horse to make it jump - because you KNOW it didn't want to.

ZealousJelly5831, I recall as a kid in the 50s I would smell licorice when some elderly men used smoking pipes. That explains it. Never smelled it from cigarettes though

Fvldhed0510, good & plenty was literally the one candy at Halloween that I spat out because of how horrible it tasted... Real licorice flavor isn't so bad that the mostly artificial stuff is the worst!

Fun guy
