Is liquorice good for you?
Is liquorice good for you? Well, like many children growing in the UK in the 1970’s, I only thought of liquorice (if I thought of it at all) as something to be used to reach into the bottom of my packet of sherbet dip. Once wet, the sherbet stuck to the liquorice, but if you ate the two together, you were liable to run out of liquorice before you ran out of sherbet. At least I did! Naturally (probably, on reflection not the best word) I was after the fizzy sensation of the sherbet, and that tingling feeling on my tongue. However, what I often got instead was a coughing fit as the yellow powder hit the back of my mouth. That’s if it didn’t end up all over my school uniform, first. The jet-black liquorice itself was best left to the ...

10 Best Knife Sharpener Reviewed [2019]
Anyone who owns a knife definitely needs a knife sharpener. Even if you are using the highest-quality knife, it will eventually get dull over time. Using a dull knife can be very dangerous. In order to keep it safe, you have to sharpen it regularly. Take note that a knife sharpener is entirely different from a knife steel/honing steel in the military. A knife sharpener will provide a new edge to your knife while a knife steel will align the edge. Most knife sets include a honing steel so you might think that this is all you need. Honing without sharpening can make your knife dull over time. Simply put, if you only have a honing steel then you must also buy a knife sharpener. Having a dull knife can make your work ineffective. So, how can ...
