Eating salmiakki sprinkles straight from the bottle and wondering where it all went so wrong.
WHAT THIS SHIT COMES IN SPRINKLE FORMAT WHAT OMG
Oh yeah. There are different brands, even. You can find it as a sauce too.
Or hard topping, if that’s what you’re into.
Ok this is the same hideous salty licorice thing the Norwegians eat, right? Salmak or Turkish Pepper? And it has ammonium chloride in it?
We bought some while there because nobody in the US believes us that it exists. But I’d only seen it as cough drop style hard candies or gummy candies and my mind is now blown.
Yep, this is it! It’s popular in all the Nordic countries and the Netherlands. The Swedish word for it is saltlakrits, but internationally it seems to be mostly referred to by its Finnish name, salmiakki.
You can get it as ice cream too.
Or as chocolate:
And as alcohol!
But the hard candies and gummies are the most common type.
I just scrolled down this post slowly for my dude’s benefit and both of us went “EWWWW” the whole way. We’re still working on the one souvenir tin of Turkish Pepper from this summer. He says, “I eat one occasionally, because I hate life.”
