Definitely Fae if she lives on black licorice, that thing is absolutely not meant for humans
Shit, in the netherlands we basically live off of that stuff. The per capita consumption is two kilograms, which puts ut at the tol of the list of global consumption.
Every supermarket pretty much has an aisle dedicated to licorice in all forms. Sweet, salty, spicy, soft, hard, dipped in chocolate… you name it.
I’m amazed some people don’t like it. Though I’ll concede I’ve obviously grown up eating it since before I could talk.
So... how hard is it to visit these legendary isles, I mean... country...?
Licorice is wonderful. When I was a little kid, half the reason Halloween was my favorite holiday was because there were packs of only orange and black jellybeans, the only good flavors.
Panda licorice now, it's amazing. At our airport there is an all licorice vending machine, all different kinds but of course since it's in an airport it's expensive.
I know there's like a billion jellybean flavors but if the orange one you speak of is also orange fruit flavor, it ranks low on my list. Unlike licorice though, it's edible.
Salmiak is life.
Black licorice is S tier, especially the good and plenty variety
Sure... I'm proud of my comment, I'm now making a list of all the Fae users of Lemmy. You guys can't trick me now!
may I have the name of your list (so I can remember it of course)?
Only if it's salmiakki
I’m all about the Australian soft kind myself
Good & Plenty is fine but too sweet. Salmiakki is god tier!
I'll have to give it a try sometime
Avoids sunlight, literal-minded, and hisses at strange women?
I'm not trying to be mean, but she's probably on the autism spectrum. My girlfriend has it and this is her to a T.
There's nothing saying being Fae and autistic are mutually exclusive conditions
Either that or Danish. They love that stuff over there for some reason
Norwegian here. The Danes licquorice consumption does not impress.
The Finns, however... Scary people.
All the Finns I know are delightfully weird.
I am a Finn. How I can tell if I am delightfully or some other way weird?
Don't forget the Dutch. 😉
Ladkris mmmm
I love black licorice 🖤
I'm not entirely sure what Fae is (I'm guessing a fairy?) but I'm from a magical land called New Jersey so I'm pretty sure I'm human
Fae are like, earth spirits. Not exactly malevolent, but tricksterish, deceptive and vengeful. Not to be trusted. Never eat their food or play their games. Don't fuck with their animals or their homes or they'll gaslight you to death
Oh, I've met one of those, I call her Mom.
Fae depending on which lore you refer to (usually) means like an umbrella term that includes fairies and any other being that is magical and aligned with nature (but not a beast; dragons aren't Fae for example)
Jersey is best state. Can't stand black licorice, but my mom and much of our family love it, so I'll accept it. But Jersey is best state, it bears repeating.
I should visit new Jersey one day, see what all the hype is about
Yes! Every time I see someone making NJ the butt of a joke, I feel the need to reply with a love letter to New Jersey, because it's legit awesome and I love it 🤍
Yep, it’s a great highway
I just woke up and haven't had any caffeine yet so you're getting more or less a copy/paste of a comment I've written previously. Enjoy!
NJ is fun to tease.
But actually yes. One of my buddies from college was from a very nice part of NJ, exactly like you describe. Well worth visiting and really shows off what a great place NJ can be
It's the armpit of America. You can tell you crossed the state line because of the smell. The rest of the state gets.. better, but that's a low bar.
(I grew up in New York and honestly I'd even take Jersey over where I live now.)
I had a history teacher in highschool who refused to acknowledge the existance of new jersey. He was from New York though so maybe that had something to do with it
Dutch double salted liquorice. Delightful.
