Festivities and Liquorice.

On Sunday, I went to the Pontefract Liquorice Festival. I don't usually go to events like this, unless I happen to be passing by, so it was a new experience. The craft stalls, music and entertainment made the atmosphere very lively and interesting.

The liquorice stalls had a fruity scent with a bright and colourful appearance; tempting! They were unique with a strong but sweet and juicy flavour and thick texture. 

Liquorice was originally used by the Greeks, ancient Egyptians and Romans as a cough and cold remedy, it helps to soothe the stomach and quenches thirst too. Plus they are very tasty!
