| If this is a bad question, sorry. But, is licorice available in Korea? Does anyone know if American Licorice (that is the brand) or Twizzlers are sold at Costco or anywhere else in Korea? Thanks! |

Strawberry and black licorice Twizzlers are at The Red Door for 4,500 (also the competitor near The Red Door). That's in Itaewon. I've never seen licorice in any Costco in Korea.
I have a PSYCHIC PREMONITION that someone will question the spelling of 'licorice'. That's how Canucks and Americans spell it on the package.

I personally prefer the European kind. The stuff in America isn't the real stuff. It doesn't contain that element associated with the real stuff. The real stuff is pretty strong stuff. I have no idea where you could get that.
If you've tried the real stuff you'd appreciate what I'm talking about. |

Thanks for the info on the real licorice, hopefully I will have to chance to try it sometime. For the time being though, I was specifically looking for the American Licorice Co. licorice and Twizzlers, thanks though.
Edit. My fiancee just informed me that I should be asking for red vines from American Licorice Co.

No, its a great question.
Are there any Euro-import stores in Seoul? I prefer the european licorice myself, but still love the corn syrupy Twizzlers....
I'll pack a few boxes of the finnish brand they sell around here. |

You must be talking about ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), right? I don't know what they put in American licorice, but ammonium chloride is what we use and it's really "salty." When I give some (we call it salmiakki in Finnish) to Koreans they spit it out almost immediately. Well, maybe it is an acquired taste.  I get mine from back home. |

No, I was referring to: Glycyrrhiza glabra. |

Where can one buy old-fashioned liquorice with that component that is supposed to be good for your health. You know what I am talking about.
The Glycyrrhiza glabra containing liquorice. If anyone is going to England soon can you pick me up some real liquorice. I really like the stuff. |
