Me. Not sure I'm a "human animal".
You have never chewed liquorice ? Go to the nearest Chinese pharmacy and get
a stick or two. (After chewing, spit it).

There is Japanese dish with tree bark (in kimpira or nimono ?). That's not
good, but I'm not objective. That tastes a little like gobo, which I've
always hated. So, if you like gobo, try it.
