My go to is Hot Tamales. I love them and no one else does, so they're safe to leave around the house.

Everyone else in my house hunts chocolate like it is prey.

On licorice, red >>>>> black, although I did find one ice cream stand (long since closed down) that served Tiger Stripe (or some name like that) ice cream; orange with black licorice. It was surprisingly great tasting, even though I'm not a fan of either individual flavour.

And growing up, the candy store across from my grandmother's house – I owned stock in the place, trust me – sold the shoestring red licorice, which is the most appropriate format.

Holy God, gerts lol that's awful :laugh:

:laugh: I had the exact same objections. That's the kind of ranking that Hak would would come up with, and then we'd have 15 paragraph long essays from deadhead deadsplaining that it doesn't matter that chocolate covered raspberry jelly rings are awful, because they're only in the ten spot, and there weren't any better candies to choose from anyway, even though Twix with it's superior cookie crunch is just sitting there unopened on the shelf!

Now that I know they have 7/11 brand Hot Tamales I get them all the freaking time. Only my reflux and/or my burning mouth will keep me from eating them constantly. I have empty packets of them kicking around all over my apartment and car. Yes, I'm WAY overdue for cleaning.

When I was in high school my friends would joke how my diet consisted solely of Hot Tamales, Slim Jims, and Combos. If only that could still be true...

I went to Door County Wisconsin last summer for a wedding. They're known for their cherries up there so I was in my element. Cherry scones, cherry danishes, cherry pie, cherry everything. The chocolate covered cherries were the best I've ever had. Pretty cool area up there too, reminded me of an east coast resort beach town except on Lake Michigan.

I feel like the logical next step for us after candydebate is to move on to vegetables. Steamed veggies can go pound sand. Veggies need to be grilled, roasted, or sauteed to put some color on them. Color equals flavor.

My go to is broccoli, asparagus, or brussels sprouts sauteed with some olive oil and garlic for at least 10 minutes and seasoned generously with salt and pepper. They may look burnt or overcharred, but that's not the case.

If I have some more time I'll roast the brussels with olive oil, garlic cloves, and bacon until they brown up and then toss them in a little honey or spicy maple syrup. It has blown the minds of many brussels haters in the past.

Vegetables suck. This ends here.

Right now I have leeks and mushrooms in the crockpot. Pepper. Salt. White wine vinegar. Thyme. Bay leaf. 1 can of beef + water just to top it off. As an aside, I'll admit to learning how to grill leeks due to Skyrim.

Probably drop that between 2 big buns with some hot oil.
