• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Whatcha drinking (2018-2022)?

Earl Grey with lemon and honey and a couple of my new cookies:

I like the salty but can probably only get the alcohol at a steep price...

Yeah unfortunately I don't think it's available in the UK. Though have you ever heard of Greek Raki? That's an aniseed drink that also comes very close to licorice flavor, and is more available throughout Europe.

Oh yes I've had that before - also Pastis (French) and Pernod. In fact I often use Pernod in cooking and usually have a bottle in the house. Does the liquorice drink turn white when water is added?

No it stays black but that's just black food coloring. The salty one doesn't taste like Raki though, the sweet one does
