ReplyDeleteSWEET Photo Hunt
I am not familiar with this one but I'm sure it's worth a try. Thanks for sharing and visiting me earlier. Have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi again Jenn. Pardon my earlier message. I realized I made the mistake of saying you visited earlier. I guess I better have breakfast first to prevent making more mistakes. haha! Take care!
ReplyDeleteI give up. What are they?
ReplyDeleteI don't know what these are. I thought they were chocolate, my favourite but the caption makes me doubt.
ReplyDeleteNice Shot! Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI cant say I even recognize what these are, are they candy? I thought at first they were nails...lol..ok, I'm crazy! My photo is up, please come and visit soon
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! For those of us who don't get out much, can you tell us what they are?
ReplyDeleteMmmmm.. I can't figure out. What are those things?
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet weekend :)
Mmmmm.. I can't figure out. What are those things?
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet weekend :)
Is that chocolate? Lovely, silky, smooth, creamy, sweet Dutch chocolate?
ReplyDeleteLooks like chocolate. There are many different shapes and they have the sweet or salty version.
ReplyDeletehmmmm.... Dutch licorice. Wonder how they taste like.
Very interesting photo, Jenn. Is it licorice? Chocolate?
ReplyDeleteAll sort of drops, they must be sweet ! I am not that keen on sweet stuff that's why I don't know them probably.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I've never had them.
ReplyDeleteWonder what they taste like?
I see I am not the only one wondering what they are! Dark chocolate? Love the different shapes!
ReplyDeleteOh YUM!!! I'd enjoy a taste of these.
ReplyDeleteNeat shot.. I've never had it though :)
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it but it looks and sounds interesting. Great shot of it.
ReplyDeletewow! that is so sweet! :) being a choco-addict that is awesome! :) wish to taste one of those! :)
ReplyDeletehope to see you more often!
There are all sorts of licorice? There's salty? Hmmm. Sounds .... different
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Great entry!
lol @ my ignorance. I was here awhile ago and all I read was the title "Acquired Taste". I didn't see the PhotoHunt banner, it's down. sorry.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that is a very unique one indeed! happy weekend! :)
It's "regaliz" in Spain, I first tasted in Germany. I like it when I have a sore throat... It's fun to buy it from the local market, great pic!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
looks so so yummy! :D
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by my post.
have a great weekend! :)
Almost makes me wish I liked black Licorice. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pick for The Hunt. Great photo.
My Sweet Entry
I've tried some salty licorice (in California -- courtesy of American friends of Dutch (or, to be precise, Friese (sp.?)) descent. Definitely an acquired taste! (And yeah, I prefer my licorice sweet...!)
ReplyDeleteBlack liquorice? Yuk!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic though!
Call over to see my sweet thing...
Hmmmmm...I'll try anything once, even salty sweet licorice!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about it being an acquired taste. The candy looks like chocolate!
ReplyDeleteSurely it's against the laws of mand and nature to make licorice look so much like chocolate? Very pretty, but it would probably cause lasting psychological damage if I expected to taste chocolate and instead tasted licorice.
ReplyDeleteCool picture, though.
Dh is a black licorice fan. Me? More of a red gal. :) I like the angle of your shot! Great job!
ReplyDeleteinteresting blog Jenn.
ReplyDeleteIts fun reading how you describe the Dutch and their Dutch way..))
Greetings from a Dutch in Istanbul (5 years already after 2 years Miami)
kindest
Great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteThat's new to me! Looks liquorice-y sweet!
I have never seen so much licorice before!
ReplyDeleteNot one of my acquired tastes it has to be said.
ReplyDeleteI am not a licorice fan, but that picture makes me want to like it!
ReplyDeleteMmmm! I love the salty ones! But sweet is good too...
ReplyDeleteVery interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
I like where you placed the sign in the image. It helps balance out the darkness of the chocolate.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like that you don't write alot! You let the image speak for itself. Brava.
Looks very yummy!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
Definitely an acquired taste. I am not an anise fan but my mom sure is!
ReplyDeleteAh Jenn, Your Photo skills are amazing. But no matter how yummy looking you make them, I still say Yuck! Give me Dutch Chocolate over Dutch licorice any time!!
ReplyDeleteAh, black licorice. It looked like chocolate to me. Great picture!
ReplyDeleteMy all time favourite sweet! I so love the sweet variety. Once I start I can't stop untill the bag is empty!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos but that is one thing I can't stand, black licorice! Ick. My dad LOVES that stuff.
ReplyDeleteYum! This photo is making me hungry! :) Great shot! I love how you got the different shapes in! Thank you for the comment you left on my blog!
ReplyDeletesssswweeeeet post!!
ReplyDeleteCool shot! Those look like interesting treats.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. I love seeing piles of things!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, I can't imagine the salty ones being very nice, but since i have never had one , who knows..
ReplyDeleteCheers Mark
Great shot! Love the depth of field. At first glance I thought it was a sea of chocolate...now that would be sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so much like chocolate. Thanks for the update. So is it sweet or salty? Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThat is a different kind of sweet taste, one my palate just can't take but I appreciate that other folks like it. Thanks for dropping over to my blog and commenting.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking of eating all that candy is making my teeth hurt :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen licorice in that shape. Just the string type, and it was in red or black. Never did develope a taste for it.
ReplyDeleteGood photo for theme!
Great photo for our theme. I have only had the long string licorice in black or red .

Great photo. I not such a big fan, but it looks cool.
ReplyDeleteI never liked black licorice when I was little but have developed a tolerance--maybe even a taste--for it. Now it's not so bad.
ReplyDeleteUm...I'll pass, thanks...
ReplyDeleteZout for me, please. I love my licorice "salzig", Jenn. =)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
i would rathe have chocolate licorice -- not a big fan of black licorice but it is SWEET
ReplyDeletecome see mine
It looks like really dark chocolate, but is a form of black licorice? It must be an acquired taste. Great shot, I've never seen it displayed like that!
ReplyDeleteoh yikes drop...bwa...no thanks, can I pass please?
ReplyDeleteMmm...sweet, sweet chocolate! Nice photo!
ReplyDeleteAt first glance, I thought they were coffee beans. Doh!
ReplyDeleteI actually like black licorice. My Nany used to always have it at her house. The smell of black licorice makes me think of her.
Oh I don't like licorice! LOL but that is a great photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by mine and posting.
