tomlinson 879 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, liquorice wood, or Spanish root we called it. I tasted some a while back and it was rotten. Did anyone else eat pitch? I seem to remember eating the chips of it from large blocks used for road mending. I hope to be resurfaced soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
