I've been told similar stuff about Marmite. I assume you eat

I remember seeing those on eBay (I'd done a search on
'marmite' - as you do) and it occurred to me then, as now,
what a complete waste of Marmite it was.

I suspect the cleanup operation was interesting... 😉

Don't know about that - I think I would prefer it to actually eating the
damn stuff!

Liqourice stick, the raw stuff that is like a piece of wood, doesn't as far
as I am aware, but somebody will prove me wrong 🙂

Can do, yes. By 'licorice stick' though, does the OP perhaps
mean a stick of root licorice? That's unlikely to give any
problems except that not everyone likes the taste.

Thats the one, you can buy it at the chemist, or so he says 🙂

He reckons you will be alright as long as you don't swallow it, just
chewing it and spitting the residue out works just the same.

I chewed licorice sticks (root) for years when I was a kid and must have
swallowed a lot of it without problem

Or any health food shop usually, though Holland & Barrett
locally don't seem to stock them.

I can't imagine any circumstances when I'd want to swallow
bits of root licorice. I like it, but it's for chewing on not
eating.

Me too, but deliberate swallowing of the stuff isn't something
I'd do these days. No particular reason - must be getting old
I s'pose.

Root.

Spanish in the West Riding of Yorkshire as well. Strange because it came
from Pontefract until quite recently.

I just knew it as root licorice. Pronounced 'licrish'.
