Red Whips My husband and I love these. They are basically the same as the liquorice whips you sell, but are red.
Red Liquorice
Red Liquorice whips. They had an aniseed taste to them rather than a strawberry taste…
Karate belt Red liquorice, really long karate belts, without any sugar coating or anything.
Lovely strawberry flavour, very chewy. A lot more thick/substancial than strawberry laces.
Not sure of the name….Red liquorice(?) Strawberry flavoured liquorice, long with a hole runnig through the length (to suck your dandelion and burdock through)
Red liquorice by Bassetts about 10″ long used to buy in 1967!

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.
