Anise love it or hate it?

[PanchoHambre]

I find that Anise is one of those polarizing flavors people love or hate.

I love it... Black Jellybeans, Sambuca, Mukhwas, Unicum, Licorice etc

One of my favorite things is Anisette an anise flavored liqueur. But then I love licorice also.

I love fresh fennel, but anise extract, candy, pastry, liquor - NOT!
So I couldn't really vote.

love it love it love it.

extra fennel seed in my italian pork sausage, please.

and evoo'd and roasted fennel bulbs, yum! same goes for grilled.

fennel stalks in soups and around roasts instead of celery, also.

and there's even an indian snack that's candy coated fennel seeds. it tastes a lot like good-n-plenty.

 

[Calicolady]

I forgot about the seeds in sausage. Thanks, bt. I love them too.

It is also one of the spices in Asian 5 spice seasoning.

Five Spice Powder
5 teaspoon ground anise (aniseed)
5 teaspoon star anise
1 cinnamon stick (5) in cassia bark
2 tablespoon whole cloves
7 teaspoon fennel seeds
Using a blender, process all ingredients until finely ground. Store in an
airtight jar up to 3 months.

Not fond of Anise. It's OK in some things but Ouzo and Licorice, No.

I'm not fond of Fennel either. Give me sausage with fennel and I'll eat it without comment, If asked I'll say.

I it's one of those Druthers things.

Hell yeah! Marie Brizzards....I used to steal it from my parents liquor cabinet all the time. LOL Love it on the rocks.

 

[lilylove]

I love a piece of black Licorice now and then but nothing else. I don't even like ouzo.. and I'm married to a GREEK!!! EEEK!!!!

 

[suziquzie]

Can't stand black licorice, anise.... any of it....
EXECPT!
Something magical happends to anisette when its in espresso. Not sure how that works out that I like that.... go figure!

I love licorice and ouzo. My Mother used to buy fresh anise once in a while, loved that too. My BIL is Greek, years ago we visted my sister at UC Davis. They took us to a Greek nightclub in Sacramento, where George got me started drinking ouzo with him. Of course, being a good Air Force troop, my hollow leg stood us in good stead and I was the one able to drive home....

I can't stand any type of licorice flavor that includes Tarragon which tastes like licorice to me. Bleech

 

[PieSusan]

I like licorice/anise in small doses. I do like lemon tarragon chicken.
