    "FDA experts say black licorice contains the compound glycyrrhizin, which is the sweetening compound derived from licorice root. Glycyrrhizin can cause potassium levels in the body to fall. When that happens, some people experience abnormal heart rhythms, as well as high blood pressure, edema (swelling), lethargy, and congestive heart failure."

    " If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for two weeks could cause an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)"



    .... There's a good reason to hate it! LOL

    Black licorice is the worst. But love me some veggies. My son eats Brussels sprouts when they are pan fried with pancetta and topped with Parmesan cheese :) it still counts as a veggie!

    black liquorice is the devil's candy. I mean, who *wants* to eat something like that, let alone pretend that it's delicious candy. It is a total candy fail.

    exactly... it needs to be taken down a peg and i'm just the hater to do it! :angry:

    oh sweet jeebus, yes.
    But asparagus is really tasty covered in some olive oil and parm. Plus it makes your pee smell fancy, so there's that. What's not to love?
    I AM a fan of the fancy pee, though.

    Perfect

    Other than the asparagus and brussel sprouts, I everything else that has been listed in this thread. Black licorice is just disgusting, cottage cheese has the most disgusting texture, cauliflower is far too bland for my tastes and olives just taste weird and bad.

    I also despise blue cheese and can only handle gorgonzola in small doses, and I hate hate hate cilantro. I'm also incredibly picky about pickles and red onions.

    I'm starting to have a love affair with Brussels sprouts. Keep the licorice though.

    used to be that candy was real herbal extracts, and had medicinal purposes.
    I like those veggies lol. Maybe you will like them better when they are in season? They are out of season right now!!

    I like most all veggies except I don't care for green olives or pickles or anything pickled tasting. And I don't like Milk, it has to be disguised in something like coffee or a smoothie or something for me to drink that.
