    I just want to know what madman took a look at some fertilizer and thought “hey… what if we put this stuff in candy?”

    i think the food use is older, it's been used at least since roman times.

    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.

    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?

    cannot find good shit like this in the Southern US... Everything is soft sweet and hardly any actual flavor

    For whatever reason, I've never met a POC who liked licorice. Anyone here?

    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.

    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.

    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!
