i sent my canadian sibling a bag of turkisk peppar as part of a care package and they thought it was a prank. then when i visited i ate all of it myself. love me some salmiak
I remember reading that ammonium chloride / "sal ammoniac" / salmiakki was probably first discovered by ancient egyptians. They found natural deposits of it condensed in a ceiling of a cave or something similar. And naturally someone just had to taste it.
Me and a bunch of friends tried this salty licorice at an Icelandic hot dog dinner party (Dan is fun). The only two people who didn’t abhor the licorice were me and the only other gay dude. Do with that info as you will.
Liquorice is amazing. I once went to Godisfabriken in Sweden and came out with like 1.5kg of mixed liquorice, then proceeded to eat it all while hiking through the mountains in Norway. Good times.
I haven't had this but is it anything like the black licorice one might find in the United States? I assume it's different because people in the comment section here seem to like what OP posted.
American here - Yeah , I loved black licorice in my adolescence but I picked up some salty black licorice from IKEA this week and holy hell I do not like it.
Huh, interesting. It's the anise flavor that I don't like but maybe a salty version would be better. I'll keep an eye out next time I'm travelling, whenever that may be.

I just want to know what madman took a look at some fertilizer and thought “hey… what if we put this stuff in candy?”
lime@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 229d
i think the food use is older, it's been used at least since roman times.

Well, then what madman thought "we should take this candymaking ingredient and spread it on our fields to improve plant growth"?
Major "Brawndo, it's what plants crave" vibes.

Crush it up and mix with vodka, now you’ve got “sorte svin” which gets you delightfully drunk without tasting too bad.
Directly translated sorte svin becomes “black pigs” but “black bastards” would be more accurate.

I had a Turkish exchange student at my uni in Norway, and when he saw a bag of "Turkish Pepper" he was like WTF is this?
End of story he did not appreciate the delicious treats named for his people.
We talk about the vodka belt and potato Europe, but what should we name Nordic/north German and Dutch areas that like salty licorice?

For whatever reason, I've never met a POC who liked licorice. Anyone here?
idiomaddict@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 228d
I know several, but they were mostly born in Germany or immigrated young.

Try to find a "European Deli"
They always have salted licorice of various kinds, at least in my area.
They are not for the faint of heart if you didn't grow up with them
Hope you find them!

The saltier the salmiakki, the better!
