See... I have a digestive system that works... so I have no problem with liquorice... I can get a 5 foot rope of black liquorice at some local 'health food places' (scam artists in the extreme) and I've been known to eat it all that day... with NO adverse affects...

I find 98% of chocolate either straight or in recipes to be cloying... but I do wanna try habanero in a chocolate fondue sometime... I hear from other capsicum junkies that it's very very good!
