The Finns love salty licorice so much they have salty licorice-flavored gum, ice cream, cough drops, lollipops etc. It's unironically bizarro world over there.

Just because your american mind can't comprehend that people outside your shithole country don't eat everything with a pound of sugar doesn't mean its bizarro, pal

What does salty licorice taste like? Not like licorice dipped in salt. I heard it tastes like ammonia.

I had it in Sweden, it really is not that bad. I didn't really like it though

>>21443267 (OP)
Don't you use these to spread mortar onto bricks?

>>21443267 (OP)
Finland isn't real, it's a hypothetical testbed we use for potential EU policies and campaigns. Sorry for the confusion.

>>21443291
I like licorice and I'm american

>>21443299
It tastes just like licorice and salt, what did you expect?

>>21443267 (OP)

>candy, finland
Does it really deserve a thread?

>>21443881
Yeah cause this is a food and cooking board and its food
Plus i dunno many other places that like salty licorice. Never had it myself but i would like to try it.

the salt isn't sodium chloride, but ammonium chloride.
it's more biting and pungent than salt, and it does smell like ammonia, but in a pleasant nose-clearing way, like a strong menthol drop.

i've had salmiak flavored candy drops and chewing gum before, and it honestly works as a replacement for mint, lemon or cinnamon in sugar free gum.
people who hate liquorice would probably hate talking to you after you freshened your breath with one of those, though.
the main reason why i think the chewing gum isn't more popular, is that it loses flavor quickly compared to menthol flavored gum.
maybe it's because the salmiak salt is water soluble, and menthol is an oil?

It tastes like licorice but the salt they use is similar to what horseradish does to your nose, but in your mouth. It's very unique and definitely worth trying at least once. I am not a huge fan of the stuff but a piece of two is honestly pretty enjoyable, but I also love normal black licorice

>your stupid thoughts
does this really deserve a post?

>>21443267 (OP)
we also have tar flavor ice cream. it tastes like how boats and factories smell

>>21443267 (OP)
I love salmiakki. But I don't like that kind of ice cream. In fact I bought salmiakki yesterday so I should eat it all. Also, tar-flavoured licorice is great. I have those as well. Pic related.

If it’s really hot and you’re dehydrated you will actually benefit from consuming something with some salt. Salted caramel should be a more popular option for very hot days.

Salty liquorice goes best with raspberry imo, very common flavour combo in Sweden

Licorice is tasty, but also consistently linked to lowering testosterone levels, which explains a lot about the current state of Nordic affairs, especially Sweden, where 26% of white males are now born without external genatalia.

>>21444972
Very ironic cause it's a masculine flavor.

>>21445016

I sometimes have pic rel with pure dark chocolate. I would get that ice 100%.

>>21443267 (OP)
Im addicted.

Ive tried that salted licorice twice with the same results and always forget. I would still try this out of curiosity and regret it halfway through chewing.

>>21443267 (OP)
What's the problem? Licorice is a spice, just like vanilla is a spice. You want spiced ice cream, you have a choice in Finland. In America, you just get vanilla.

As a dutchfag I love me some salty licorice but anything else licorice flavored is nauseating.
I had a shot of pic related last weekend, against my better judgment, and it instantly ruined my night.

>>21446587
Get some Fisk instead

>>21446616
desu I would prefer to never have a drop of licorice liqueur in my life, but thanks for the tip

>>21446647
The licorice flavor isn't strong in Fisk. It's mostly minty. It's great. I love it and I hate licorice lol.
