Americans are FREE to eat whatever they want.

American here. I fucking love it. Then again, part of my family is Danish, so I'm sure that I was introduced to it as a kid.

I've shared it with many other people--Americans, Indian, Chinese....the list goes on. Very few of them like it.

>>8027415
I ordered some with my last order of snus and liked it but all my coworkers and friends didn't.

Americans have taste. also saltwater taffy is very common here and it's available in a menthol/black licorice flavor

>>8027418
And they'll sing the blues if they want

Salt licorice =/= black licorice.

>>8027415
Why not? I eat it pretty often, and I'm American.

>>8027438
it's almost identical and most candy shops in the south have it. do u know of the brand that looks like a miniature cigarette box with red packaging and they're menthol flavored and regular as well. tiny little gummy tablets.

>>8027448
>it's almost identical

Uhm, no. It's much much stronger. Given how you're talking about it I'm 100% certain you've never had it.

>>do u know of the brand that looks like a miniature cigarette box
I know many of those. Most of them are not what we're talking about. Can you post a pic of the exact brand you mean?

>>8027415
Yes, they swell up, turn green and then their gills implode.
Of course, this kills the american.

Being from the northern parts of europe, I truly love licorice. The saltier, the better. After finishing a bag my heart rate will sometimes go galloping.

licorice is objectively shit, especially black

>>8027462
yeah these. they're everywhere in Louisiana and usually sold with taffies and licorice sticks, are they different from normal licorice? cause I've seen this brand in a kumquat and salt flavor along with a few others I don't know the name of. they're probably a different name where your from though but we just call them chews or taffies or licorice cause the flavor

>>8027418
Except Kinder Eggs

>>8027513

Those aren't salt licorice, though that brand does make some. Pic related is the salt licorice version from that same brand. Notice that it says "salmiak" on it. That's what you need to look for on the label. salmiak, salmakki, etc.

>>8027513
No, they are pretty normal licorice. They are also pretty common here, same name. Comes in tons of different flavors

>>8027513
>those candies

I want the pink one
But I fear the fact that I'm picking pink may have some wrong connotations
Then again it is coated in augar

>>8027415
It's not really available where I live. I do like black liquorice though, and I've wanted to try it. Would it be an acceptable substitute to buy a strong black liquorice and roll it in some salt?

>>8027753
Lol, you could, but no. Salty really means salmiak in this case.

>>8027415
I eat twizzlers and red vines all the time, man.

>>8027770
Damn. Looks like I won't be trying the real thing any time soon.....unless....does Ikea sell salmiak?

>>8027734
those are half sour half salty

>>8027813
Actually, they do. You find it next to the 'knep maj' bookcase.

>>8027753
>Would it be an acceptable substitute to buy a strong black liquorice and roll it in some salt?
Honestly, it tastes a bit salty, but in reality it's not salt at all, it's ammonia. Yes, like you clean your floors. It's just in a form that is salty tasting, but hits the nose with incredible vapor, in the way that wasabi face up can do that. If you get really strong "salt" licorice and binge eat it, you'll start to detect the actual ammonia essence, but only in large quantities.

OP, I don't see it often in the USA outside of special food sections in foreign groceries. So, we can find it at Aldi, the gourmet section in Fresh Market, and then really randomly elsewhere.

What I really like I think is Danish, but extremely popular in Iceland, and that is chocolate coated black licorice. I think it might be a popular deal in Australia, too? They still adore strong licorice there, more so than in England. All the chocolate coated imports I see are from there. Walgreens has one brand, but just discontinued the chocolated coated version, grr. Amazon is my friend.

I bring you a picture of a salmiak dipped and filled ice cream bar (enjoyed on a break at Blue Lagoon)

It taste like poop. Looks like poop too.

>>8027415
pretty much. my father is norwegian and loves it, im born in burgerland and I cant stand it

I come from Minnesota.

My grandfather gave it to me as a kid and I enjoyed it a lot. It's really difficult to find here though, so that's part of it. People try it for the first time when they are in their mid twenties, if at all.

Plus, people seem to have a huge hatred for Black Licorice in general, i've noticed, it's weird.

>>8027531
Or humble pie.

>>8027531
French can't either, apparently.

djungelvrål is the best

not swedish, nordic, or european
nor american

Except medication for treatable disease

t. American

>>8027835
That ice cream bar actually looks really tasty. I've never had licorice ice cream, and I bet the sweetness of the ice cream balances out the saltiness.

>it's ammonia. Yes, like you clean your floors

You Scandis call us Americans sick? Fucks sake man. I still want to try it though.

>>8027834
I'm this anon >>8027753 - posting from my PC this time. I can't help feeling you're trying to ruse me. Google translated Knep Maj as May Trick.

I miss licorice!

I was born in Canada but raised in a French family and licorice was a real treat!

Now I have leukemia, and I can't eat true licorice since it fucks up my meds.

>>8028781
Sorry to hear , dude, get well
Get fit
Eat licorice

>>8028781
>eat black licorice
>get cancer
i knew it.

>>8028788
Thanks anon!
>>8028821
Nah I probably got leukemia by smoking everything like pine needles, tylenols, sniffing gasoline, eating plastic, having my house burned two times.

This caused an over-exposure to benzene.

>>8027415
Spunky Dane here.
It's like a religion here.
Licorice ice cream is pretty good too.

i hate all licorice

>>8027415

Hey, yeah! And while we're at it, why don't people like fruitcake or candy corn either?

Black licorice tastes like a combination of bitter and sour to me.

It's also very profound. Like, if I were to grab a hand full of jelly beans and just one black licorice flavor slips in, it ruins the whole thing.

Niggers of the candy world, I tell you.
