Glycyrrhiza glabra; La curiosità uccise il gatto.
Curiosity killed the cat... and the liquorice. Corte Eremo, near Mantua.
I just had to dig up a small one and taste it. I’ve been wanting to do that for months now.
and YES! it is liquorice-y and fortunately mild, but NO, I still don’t like the taste, not even if it’s home grown from seeds sown in late March. Yuck.
