Sorry, but licorice, aniseed and fennel all GOOD! Except I can't eat very sweet licorice-flavoured stuff anymore (pontefract cakes, for example) - too sickly.

I won't even mention Pernod...

Pernod, Pastis, Ricard, Ouzo all VERY VERY BAD!

Sounds like the voice of experience...

I used to be an absolute fiend for Pernod when I was in my (late) teens, but I tend not to drink it often these days - though there is always a bottle in the house!

No, man, that's the voice of unconsciounable prejudice speaking there.

Mmmm. Pernod.

Shame I've already got a beer open.

Pernod, Pastis, Ricard, Ouzo, Raki, Arak, Sambuca, Becherovka, Absinthe all VERY VERY GOOD! (with enough water and hot weather).

Raki doesn't really taste of aniseed though (well not the stuff I've had).

Hmm...what was your Raki-water-ice combination? Raki does tend to be milder, but I can certainly taste the anise in it.

I had no ice in my raki. If it had tasted of aniseed, my mum wouldn't have bought it.

Yes, but Absinthe is of the good.

For once, we agree on beverages.

At least you got that right. But Licorice BAD, Aniseed GOOD, obvs.
