What wouldn't I give for some Salta sillar, Salmingar, Lakritsal or/and Pirat pengar right about now. Miss it!

This unique candy so craved by Swedes, but disliked by most others. Funny how things we grow up with becomes such a natural part of who we are...

David, your package is in the mail....sorry for the delay, sweetie, but I just could NOT come up with the right-sized box, then I had to go out of town...but! I put plenty of postage on the thing and you should have it within the week.

Now, tell me, what DOES this candy taste like? I am curious because licorice gives me a whopping headache so I'll never be able to try it.

Hehe, salty liquorice. I love it, but people outside of Scandinavia have real problems with it
Tried to get my dear bf to eat it, but he couldn't believe it was candy

It's liquorice, but with ammonium chloride in it, which makes it taste salty. Some salty liquorice is rather sweet, and some are just plain salty. Mmm.. yummy
