"It's filled with salty hate." -Jeff Gerstmann 2008

As much as I love Tyrkisk pepper, dundersalt, and every other scandinavian salmiak/salty licorice variant, I just discovered THIS, and my god the Icelanders just nailed licorice.

(For those whithout taste-o-vision installed, it's black licorice covered in chocolate and then a layer of super salty salmiak licorice)

there's a whole bunch of variants of these around, including some ridiculously expensive ones, but they are indeed great. chocolate and licorice combined is awesome. there are also licorice chocolate bars available here.

anybody down with licorice ice cream?

My dad used to buy good and plenty... those are like candy coated licorice right? Those are kinda good. The licorice brock jelly beans were a bit strong. I probably wouldn't mind regular black licorice. I don't like Anise in curries though.

I could never eat black licorice in large quantities I don't think. The flavor like starts to pile up on you after a few.

Should I try some of the weirdo ammonium chloride variety? Ammonia is in pee so I've always kinda been like ehhhh.... Salt is awesome though.

Ammonium chloride is just another type of salt, like monosodium glutamate, or MSG. Acids react with bases to produce salts that you then put in your mouth because they taste good. And that ammonia in your pee has to come from somewhere, so it's basically the circle of life.

I'd start with the Hexehyl, they're pretty casual.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

I think I've had a similar candy, they're hard, crunchy and sugary on the outside with a licorice center. I seem to remember them having quite bit of anis flavor as well. Most salmiak products don't have that much sugar in them, they're just salt all the way. The Hexehyls are covered with sugar, which is why I thought it'd be a place to start.

So much fun, isn't it? Don't worry, though. I wouldn't recommend anything poisonous. It's just a funny thing to do to challenge your preconceptions about what things are supposed to taste like.

Salmiakki vodka is even better. One package of Tyrkisk Peber mixed in 0,5 litres of vodka.

uhhh you can do that? link plz?

Also i had no idea that the salty licorice had no sugar in it. Licorice would be inedible if it wasn't sweetened. loving pass.

I mean, I don't know of a place that will acquiesce to the autistic desire of only one color good & plenty. It's not like I can order just the goods or the plentys, but you can order them in bulk and just eat one then the other you neurotic spaz.
