Liquorice is a confectionery flavoured with the extract of the roots of the Liquorice plant. A wide variety of liquorice sweets are produced around the world. In the U.S., liquorice is called black licorice ( see also spelling differences ) to distinguish it from similar confectionery varieties that are not flavoured with liquorice extract, and commonly manufactured in the form of chewy ropes or tubes. Most popular in the United Kingdom are liquorice allsorts. Dutch and Nordic liquorice characteristically contains ammonium chloride instead of sodium chloride, prominently so in salty liquorice. I personally prefer 'salty liquorice' whatever coloured.
An aphrodisiac is a substance that increases sexual desire. The name comes from Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of sexuality and love. Throughout history, many foods, drinks, and behaviors have had a reputation for making sex more attainable and / or pleasurable. However, from a historical and scientific standpoint, the alleged results may have been mainly due to mere belief by their users that they would be effective (i.e. the placebo effect ). In particular, Western medical science has no substantiated claims that any particular food increases sexual desire or performance.
