My first love, Mike once bought me a whole box of these because I loved them so much. Makes my mouth water just thinking of them!

What we are really looking for is the classical Red Liquorice from a while back in the sixties and seventies called Firemans' Hose.

Lovely strawberry flavour, very chewy. A lot more thick/substancial than strawberry laces.
