The letter for chefs, which I have printed and carried to two restaurants,
includes licorice as something containing gluten. I believe licorice is
made from the bark /root of a tree or bush, and I think that is gluten
free and only most licorice candy that contains gluten. Am I wrong? The
pieces of bark are very sweet and overwhelmingly licorice flavor when
chewed. Various home remedies use pieces of that in brewed tea.
