I have just made a startling discovery: none of my family like liquorice.
That’s right: neither of the kids have a taste for it and Mrs. M thinks it’s ‘disgusting stuff’.
After all these years, why have I only just discovered this?
This is brilliant news!
Because, this means I can leave an opened packet of Liquorice Allsorts on my desk – or in the kitchen, or anywhere – and they won’t miraculously vanish out of the packet when I’m not looking.
The same can’t be said for other items of confectionary. “Where have all my Dolly Mixtures gone?” will elicit shaken heads and shrugged shoulders.
“Have you scoffed the rest of my Jelly Babies?” will trigger spirited cries of denial.
“Wasn’t me.”
“Never touched ’em.”
So, it’s liquorice-based sweeties only, from now on!

I loves the occasional liquorice (various shapes, sizes, and fabrications thereof). Loves them I do. Occasionally. So don’t you be leaving any such goodnesses around these parts because they will indeed disappear. But (and here’s a thing) nobody else in my family has a taste for the stuff either. Perhaps they’re defective.
Maybe liquorice only appeals to the man of the house?
I need to find my one..
Just one?
Or one bag?
I can’t believe you’ve blogged about sweets when there’s a date event happening tonight (2/2/22 22:22:22) 😁
I’ll be in bed by then.
I was right.
I’m totally with Mrs M on this. A bit like I was on the dishwasher debacle.
Liquorice is horrible. Why would you buy that when you have a plethora of things that taste WAY better? I’ve heard a theory that the only people who like liquorice are prone to conspiracy theories.
I don’t know about that, but I do find liquorice particularly flavoursome when I’m doing the washing up.
