So good.<br /><br />Also, you can trim the bases, throw them raw into a food processor to shred them, then toss with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, a little sea salt and black pepper and MOST IMPORTANTLY a really good pecorino romano or parmigiano reggiano (or both!). Unbelievably delicious.<br /><br />I was a late bloomer with black licorice, too.
