Lot #7 Description: Black licorice strips (4).
History: These pieces of licorice were discovered only last Tuesday underneath the author's computer. No visible mice nibbles or other defamation make these whips a remarkable treat. By the time this blog entry goes to cyberspace, the author will have probably eaten all of them, although they were discovered board stiff. Good example of the black licorice which comprises the bulk of this author's diet. He's made entire meals (even breakfasts) on fare such as this. And now you can own a piece of this history.
Background: red licorice is NOT licorice. Sorry. The red junk is pure candy and cannot be compared to old-school black licorice, with its distinct taste and odor. Black licorice never goes bad. Sure, it'll get hard and might even sit in a candy dish for two and half years . . . but the author says he'll get around to chomping on it sooner or later. His wife forgets to pick up groceries, he'll make a repast on the four year old whips from the attic. No problem. This author also attributes his prolific abilities and his iron-clad digestive structure to black licorice. Put these pieces under glass and you'll have a remarkable art deco piece.
Quote from the Author's wife: "You're not going to eat those, are you?"
