minus-squareBorgDrone@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down6·2 months agoBut it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?
minus-squareunsettlinglymoist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-22 months agoSalmiak is not popular worldwide. I love salmiak, but almost no one I mention it to is familiar with it.

minus-squareBorgDrone@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·2 months agoNo. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.
