Thanks for the information. I live in Adelaide so will have a look in our wonderful Central Market. Must get some to saisfy my curiosity. I had forgotten about Palm toffee too; now I remember the slabs and the sticky paper that you couldn't get off! Best wishes, Jill

Gillian........I live in Canberra now and there are quite a few places here that 'spanish wood is available' I have to admit I haven't chewed on it in many years but every time I smell it I get rushes of memory and the urge is always there.......it must be related to 'crack-cocaine'!!!
Best Wishes
Rob

Andrew, you can find 'spanish wood' in most health shops or maybe asian delicatessans where it goes under the name of Liquorice Root. I use it in cooking asian dishes sometimes but it has to be used sparingly for a variety of reasons. It was good stuff, wasn't it ??Usually only bought when the purchaser was short of cash and couldn't afford anything more expensive, like gob-stoppers, Palm Toffee and the like
Best Wishes
Rob

Andrew, thank you for answering that question. It is one that has set me wondering over the years. The name clicked as soon as I read your message, but I would never have dredged it up from the deep recesses of my mind! I don't think it has been available for many years - I think maybe it was harmful. Certainly no-one here in Oz that i have spoken to seems to have heard of it.

Jill, I always knew that particular sweet as Spanish wood - although I have no idea how it got that name. Just like chewing a short stick, no more than 1 centimetre in diameter, with a liquorice kind of flavour. I wonder if it's still available?

Can anybody remember the name of a stick that looked like wood that we used to chew. We used to buy them from sweet shops and I think they might have been licquorice wood?? The stick was brown and literally looked like a stick.
