I don't like licorice, either, actually.

Chemicals are often such oddities.

Hard to say. To me, anise has a "lighter" flavor, not as overpowering as licorice seems to be.

how is it possible not to like licorice but to like anise? is it the texture of licorice?

Me too. Though, oddly, I like anise.

Nice word. Wish I liked licorice.

Thanks! ;)

Nifty word, Evin290! Duly pinched.

The sweetening component of licorice.
