    1. Ain’t nothing better than a handmade barley candy lollipop (it’s a New England thing). Admittedly I can’t think of anything else anisey I like.

      1. When I was a kid I liked a candy called Richardson’s Anise Mints. They were sold by the pound at the store where I bought my comic books. As I recall, a mere nickel bought a shitload of them.

        (Wow, can anyone guess that I’m an old fart? That paragraph may be the old-fartiest ever written. The only things missing are my driving a penny-farthing to the store, and having the proprietor call me “sport.”)

        1. And nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you’d say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was to have an onion on your belt, which was the style at the time.
