reminder that native scandanavians decided to send their boats to literally everywhere they could that wasn't scandanavia, but they got all buttmad since they found other people there and started venting their butt frustration by raping nuns and then converting to christianity

i really like black licorice but its hard to find good stuff, in america the best kind is usually marketed as 'australian licorice' which seems weird that they did something right if its true

do the scandinavian ones taste like that with salt in it, or different? the stuff im talking about is brown on the inside like 1 of your examples, and very very good, reminds me slightly of gingerbread dough in there

Scandinavian licorice tastes almost nothing like black twizzlers or their cousin "Australian Licorice".

This will give you some idea what the rest of us are talking about.

oh yeah that's the stuff, oh man, this stuff will make your tongue shrivel like a salty slug, this is the closest you can get to eating poo poo without actually eating poo poo. Personally, I just eat poo poo, my tongue drops out of my mouth and I rub feces all over it all day, at least that way I get all the flavor of poo poo, that I love, without getting poo poo all over my teeth and gums.

Swede eatin tasty lakrits all day errday. Sweet or salty, chewy or hard, it's all good. Swedish, Finnish, Icelandic, Dutch, Australian, even Italian. Don't hate and discriminate, it's all good.

When I fly through Finland I pick up salmiakki vodka and boxes of sisu.

E: but what's up with that red poo poo you call licquorice? It's not. Quit it.

Fun fact: a dozen Swedes get licorice poisoning every year. Eating more than 50g/day can cause you 11β-HSD2 enzymes to get out of whack from all that lovely glycyrrhizic acid, so your liver can't turn cortisol into cortisone as normal. On the other hand, you got to eat a poo poo-load of tasty candy.

50g in licorice terms if what, a large handful a day? wouldnt you have to do that a whole lot of days in a row to get poisoned by a candy that doesnt have poison warnings

It also varies, some kinds have more of the acid in it. But yeah, about half a small bag of licorice per day over a long period of time is a bad idea.


It's also a bad idea if you are in risk of high blood pressure to begin with. If you are in at risk of high pressure and live in Scandinavia, chances are your doctor will tell you to keep away from it as much as possible.

Yeah, these are good, and so is salted licorice.

As a dane, I might just a bit biased with regards to the licrorice - or could be that I'm just a pervert who loves salted licorice and ginger chews?

the little round balls? yeah those do. when it's bad it's like salted reindeer crap, and some of this stuff is bad. gotto do some research to sort it out. i'd stay away from the icelandic varieties like that. those guys eat rotten shark and live on a volcano. their tastes are a bit weird. the good swedish/danish/german stuff is totally different and owns

Proof that salted licorice is the most Metal candy you can eat. It's black and salty like an old corpse that's been baking in the deepest pits of Hell itself, and if you eat a moderate amount of it on the regular it gives you chest pains (that probably won't kill you BUT MAYBE IT WILL).

Katjes Salzige Heringe was the first kind I tried that got me hooked, and still probably the best I've had so far.

Also these were given as a free sample from some Amazon seller: http://www.amazon.com/Jahnke-Salmia...keywords=jahnke and were pretty great.

And salty licorice toffee is really loving good but not at all salty.
