Didn't used to like it as a child, but don't mind it now in small doses.

I want some now! Is there an English version! I love liquorice... Especially those wheels but they are so expensive... I don't feed it but my dogs go insane for the smell of it and anaseed - is it true they use it for scenting hunting dogs?

I like liquorice and the Finns love their "salmiakki". The Salmiakki Koskenkorva drink is something else. Lived in Helsinki for nearly 2 years and bought it for visitors.

Yes it is true that dogs like aniseed and it is used by some dog handlers. Don't know about the hounds though.
