And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Amazon being as fast as it is, I got the Finnish weird candy today
Is Finland not part of the EU? Is the product not sold throughout the EU?
If you consumed enough of that licorice product you would suffer the ill effects of the acids and flavonoids in the licorice root extract before any harm from the ammonium chloride.
Also, it’s rude to respond to someone with Duh and name calling.
Spent my childhood in Great Britain, where we used to get salty liquorice, so tried to order some of this, but Amazon doesn't deliver to New Zealand. But I see the weight is in grams, so it is from a metric using country, like all 197 are apart from the USA and Myanmar, so I thought that I could email the company and get some sent, but the picture of the back of the packet doesn't embiggenfy enough for me to read it well ... and it is Finnish ? ... so my single source language will confuse them, lol. I'll find a way to get some.
Is it covered in salmiak powder? I don’t like that kind of licorice at all.
ReplyDeleteDuh, read the label dummy. The salt is ammonium chloride, which is toxic and usually present at levels 25 times higher than the EU considers safe.

ReplyDeleteHeksehyl Black Licorice
ReplyDeleteHeksehyl licorice are soft, salty licorice cylinders with a gumdrop-like texture. Their strong flavor makes them perfect for the licorice aficionado.

Smoked Digby Herring are also "an acquired taste" but with a glass of Laphroaig....pretty sweet. Steve_in_Ottawa
