For the licorice lover\u2014that strange, fierce, embattled tribe\u2014the store is a must. Myzel\u2019s has the best licorice selection in the city: salty, sweet, terrier-shaped, boat-shaped, cute, creepy, hard, soft. \u201cLicorice of the world,\u201d they advertise. \u201cOver a hundred\u00a0different kinds.\u201d And today a sign in front of the door read: <small>NATIONAL LICORICE WEEK<\/small>.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t pretend to be part of the licorice cult; my interest begins and ends with the black jelly bean, or maybe the sort of jelly-filled mint you get at the register at diners. I\u2019m too babyish, too simplistic for the mysteries of licorice. Licorice is ancient, healing, forbidding. People who truly fiend for licorice (unlike people who love stale Peeps) are always intriguing, not least because it turns their teeth a strange color.<\/p>\n<p>So in honor of National Licorice Week\u2014which was, it turns out, sometime last month; I guess Myzel\u2019s is really milking it\u2014I turn not to the genuine article but to poetry about it. John Betjeman recorded this version of \u201cThe Licorice Fields at Pontefract\u201d as a track on his album\u00a0<em>Late Flowering Love<\/em>, from 1974. And it sounds like \u201974: it\u2019s a campy novelty item, yes, and at times the poet seems unable to keep up with the driving beat or the exuberant horns behind him. But bear with me. The tongue-in-cheek pastoral motif and sing-song rhythms of \u201cThe Licorice Fields\u201d make a certain sense when they\u2019re set to music that evokes a Yorkshire fair.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XmtF8LH2J34\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Okay, it\u2019s ridiculous.
