Salmiak

[vraiblonde]

Ever heard of it? It's salt licorice and it is too disgusting for words. I tried some at the licorice store in Lincoln (yes, Lincoln has a whole store devoted to nothing but licorice) and after about 2 seconds I spit it out and was pawing my nose like a dog with a snootful of ammonia.

Anyway, what made me think about it is because the licorice store has a website where you can order online, so that's what I was doing when I saw the salmiak and was immediately reminded of how nasty it was.

I have never liked licorice, in any form.

I hate licorice and anything that has an anisette flavor.

I love licorice but this doesn't taste like licorice at all. Words can't describe it.

The gal at the store said I'd be surprised at how many people really love it.

Not sure if it was the double salted licorice you tried but that stuff is horrible.
