Does these Legendary Elderberries have an alternative name?

Magenta said: Red (and *any colour/flavour licorice) is a commercial con on the public so that licorice lovers can buy pseudo licorice for their partner to justify their own purchase of real licrice... Just to be clear, i am not saying that 'other flavours of licorice' are bad. In fact i am very fond of the raspberry variant. What i am saying is that they're not real licorice. They're confectionery pacifiers for the haters whom developed relationships with real licorice lovers. Seriously no one goes out of their way to buy non-black licorice.
They do actually contain liquorice, just minor insignificant amounts. The same way that white chocolate contains chocolate but you wouldn't know it.
You're right about Darrell Lea letting their game down, even the number of times I've gotten stale liquorice. Liquorice lovers are definitely the safest bet.

Absolutely true. I ordered some salmiakki with pepper inside not knowing it was hard candy, it was still really good anyway until it all spilled out in my bag and melted. My backpack is sticky now and smells like ammonia now and I don't use it.

Never been a fan of Daryll Lea licorice, too chewy as you mentioned. For licorice I find the cheaper the better for some reason.
btw ever tried tyrkisk peber? That's an interesting one, licorice + a bit of peppery heat. It has that salmiak flavor in there but it's pretty edible and not as overpowering as the Dutch stuff.

Nah i haven't. Is it soft? If it is I'd be open to giving it a try. I presume you're an Aussie too. Any common places i can buy it from?

Nah it's more like a hard boiled lolly. I think they have soft versions but I didn't see it where I bought it (Lollies ‘N Stuff).
So you like the soft texture? I could never get into it, I like it rubbery lol

Rubbery is okay in a pinch but if it crunches its a no go for me. My parents go to town on Humbugs but i absolutely hate them. Either way i'll keep my eye out for them. Never heard of Lollies ‘N Stuff (unless that's that joint at Southern Cross Station). I'm a real country lad, sorry. Even if they're hard i'll buy them just to try this flavour you speak of.

Well since you said it, and as much as i love licorice:

I'm going to alliterate Psi in reference to Fennel. I hate biting into a fucking sausage or something and being completely overwhelmed with the taste of licorice. I may love licorice but sausage isn't meant to taste like that. People think they're being fancy adding the thing but they're ruining a perfectly decent food. I honestly despise fennel. I'm honestly curious to real world use of Fennel because it just sees over the top to me.

It's an Italian thing. My mom's side is from Sicily and they'd always put bowls of fennel out after a meal because it supposedly aids in digestion.
I hate it too, though.

To be fair, Koods post a video earlier relevant to this matter, and while i've never consumed an extreme amount of fennel, i definitely have indulged in licorice more that i'm proud to admit and i can attest to its digestive catalyst properties.
I don't care, still totally worth eating!

Yea tyrkisk peber is the exact candy I was talking about, it's pretty good but I was a bit disappointed to find out it was hard candy.

Yea it's not exactly salt and pepper lol. Some really good shit like fennel or ginger can really taste weird if it's misused.
