Margarita's, Bassett Licorice AllSorts story
I was a child refugee in England in 1937 from the revolution going on in Spain
At that time I was six years of age.
Two years later in 1939 England was at war with Germany and as the war progressed Food Rationing became a way of life.
A child's ration book differed from the adult bookand in my ration book I was entitled to two ounces of candy a month.
I discovered the English licorice that I had never seen or tasted in Spain and it proved to be a "real winner" because the Licorice was great and I could separate the little square one's to make the candy last longer as thirty days was a long time to wait for the next ration.
My favorite was the pink and yellow round ones with the coconut on the outside and licorice center.
I was repatriated in 1948 and that was the end of my Bassett's love affair, or so I thought until I married an American in 1955 and discovered Bassett"s Licorice All Sorts once again, but always in small packetts.
My children know of my addiction to Bassetts and last year my daughter found your company and sent me a christmas gift of a package that had three 5 pound bags.
I was speachless, two ounces to 15 pound - WOW!
Yes, I still separate the little square ones....
