Can't believe Finnish people make candy/snacks from liquorice.
Due to pure curiosity, I ordered the "salmiakki" (salty liquorice) from Finland. And for god's sake, I only order 1 pack (40g).
I put 1 piece of that thing into my mouth, and I immediately recognized it. It's licorice tablets, a traditional Chinese medicine, which are widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as cough. And it's one of my most disgusting flavors.
Now I have 40 grams of things to deal with. OMG
@trinsec I don't know, but it tastes exactly like the Chinese medicine tablets.
In China, we use liquorice when cooking pork, it makes the meat tastier (where the flavor is much diluted). But pure liquorice is, hmm, kinda hard to accept
@skyblond Our supermarkets have aisles like in the picture. Alllll licorice. It's in the candy section. 😋
@skyblond Oh, Finnish. Maybe theirs are different?
