I am Dutch and questioning the core of my existence now.
Don't you guys have salted black licorice, too? That's like the candy version of adding insult to injury.
Yes we have Grasshoppermouse, and to us it is like salted caramel.
ok but its really nothing like salted caramel..
that salmiak is ammonium chrloride, not sodium chloride which is whats in salted caramel.. and salted caramel is balanced between salty and sweet. I've had sweedish salmiak candy that is essentially a hollow cylinder of licorice that melts to a point that it dumps a quarter teaspoon of ammonium salt onto your tongue. no salted caramel comes anywhere near that, and for gods sake why would it
I mean like salt and sweet.
yes ok.. the gestalt is radically different, though. if someone had a salmiak licorice and was thinking it'd be anything like salted caramel they'd find that they don't have a lot in common.
like pineapple on pizza is sweet and salty but I wouldn't compare it to ammonium chloride candy
Ha! Yes, we have various fruity flavors of "licorice" in the US. In an attempt to avoid confusion we sometimes call it black licorice. We sometimes spell it properly, liquorice.
