    Prior to seeing people outside of Finland taste salmiakki, it never occurred to me to even associate the taste of salmiakki with "salty". To me, it was always just a distinct flavor. But yeah, I suppose it's "salty" as it has ammonium chloride.

    • @kala1780
      @kala1780 4 месяца назад +29

      yeah, it is a salt of ammonia and chloride so it is salty de facto :P but Have you tried pure salmiakki powder so you dont taste any liqourice and get the pure salmiakki flavour? I have and I would probably say it is salty by the sensation and maybe partly by taste, but on the other hand it tastes very different (better) from table salt (NaCl) at least to me.

    Fazer Blue is the standard chocolate, it is the benchmark of "just chocolate". So, basic, everyday chocolate. It just happens to be at the right spot of everything, not too sweet but still very sweet... it is perfect but that also makes it quite underwhelming if you expect something that is "wow"... When you crave chocolate, it hits the spot better than any other.

Take several glasses, add frozen berries, lingon berrries or cranberries work best to those glasses and then cover with cream and chocolate mix, then let them cool in fridge.

    Story time on long drink. It was originally created for the Helsinki olympics for something to give to tourists and athletes coming to Finland. It was meant to be served only during the games, but it was so popular among Finns that it just became our little thing. I personally have had enough of it. Used to drink plenty, but now I just can't. Goes to the same pile as cider, I'm not big on sugary alcohol drinks.
    Salmiakki is definitely an acquired taste. I remember hating it as a kid, but my for my dad it was the only candy he ate (and thus had in his car), so I just eventually learned to love it. I was living in central Europe for a year and I brought like ten bags of salmiakki candy with me because I knew that I couldn't take a whole year without it. Literally I would not have made the year. I promise you that if you weaned yourself **onto** salmiakki, it would eventually be your favorite candy. I promise you! I fully respect how you went all in and really ate the stuff and not just spit it out immediately!
    Tyrkisk Peber has salmiakki inside it.
    Those rye snacks are really supposed to be dipped into something. They are fine like that, but with some salsa or something those things are delish!
    Mämmi really is supposed to be be eaten with cream, milk or something along with it. Plain mämmi is fine, but like a vanilla cream on it is the bomb!

    • @tubelious
      @tubelious 4 месяца назад +2

      Along the long drink they also made a "Golden Longdrink", but that was actually considered to be "too drinkable, and attractive to young ppl" so they banned the sales of it. You can make it yourself buy mixing Jaloviina (one star) and Pommac -lemonade.

    Hi, native here! I liked that you really tried those all, not even every finn eats salmiakki and mämmi. Those have always divided people, but for a foreigner it's a propably more suprising thing for sure. Mämmi is eaten on the spring time and usually with heavy or mild cream or milk and sugar on top of it. And with a cup of coffee with it. I never eat it straight without any milk product atleast. It changes the flavor so much and sweetens it. Good testing after all and I like that you are honest and don't like everything just because it's foreign.

    Long drink is an alternative to beer, not as sweet as cider. It's an especially great refreshment on hot summer days. Originally developed for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics to help bartenders serve cocktails faster (basically, it's a premixed gin and grapefruit soda cocktail), it proved very popular, so they continued to produce it after the Olympics. Over the years, other flavors have been introduced, but the original flavor remains the most popular.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the "butterfly milk" 😁. I was among the people to recommend that. That's a fairly old school, traditional drink. Usually a staple option in everyday lunch buffets, among with milk and oat milk. Good for your stomach, and you indeed also get some calcium, and vitamin D which is added to milk based drinks here due to lack of sun around the year. There's also a traditional cake made out of that ('piimäkakku' = piimä cake). With sugar in the batter, it's a sweet and moist cake with a hint of piimä flavor. My grandmother used to often make that one. Piimä is also typically used as the liquid in the dough/batter for that sweet rye bread ('saaristolaisleipä') Ivana tried at Konstan Möljä and with the salmon soup.
    For my taste mämmi as is / without toppings is a bit too strong and one dimensional. But if you add some sugar on top and some cream on the side, it's a nice blend. My preferred way to eat it.
    Lätkäliiga was a nice find for a hockey guy. 'Lätkä' is slang for 'ice hockey'. Very much a classic candy. The wrappers feature the logos of various Liiga teams.
    Oh, one more thing. If you want the most hardcore of salty liquorice candies, go to a store called 'Normal' (one is e.g. located in the Citycenter shopping mall across the road to the railway station) and pick up a bag of 'djungelvrål'. 😃 Next level to anything you tried here. Just had some a few days ago myself!

    Salmiakki (ammonium chloride) is a type of salt that is used in salmiakki candies (liquorice flavoured with salmiak salt) aka. salty liquorice/salmiak liquorice. 👌🏻
    Ps. There is also salty salmiakki (salmiak liquorice flavoured with table salt) if the saltiness is not enough. 😂

  • @tuoppi42
    @tuoppi42 4 месяца назад +16

    "Pantteri" (panther) candies are great for beginners (and great with beer). Soft-ish liquorice candies with just slight twist of "salmiakki" and sugar coating. These are from 1961, and in my own personal bubble, they are the best overall combination of texture, chewiness and flavor.
    Salmiakki is a salt formed by hydrochloric acid and ammonia, and as a salt it isn't recommended for those with high blood pressure. Liquorice apparently is even stronger in that sense. High blood pressure = no black candy, at least not often and in moderation.

  • @pamelakilponen3682
    @pamelakilponen3682 4 месяца назад +7

    Mämmi, malted rye, is best with vanilla sauce or cream with lots of sugar. You are seeing a lot of it now because it is traditionally eaten at Easter time.

  • @blechtic
    @blechtic 4 месяца назад +5

    The thing with salmiakki is that first it's salty and then your saliva kicks in and it gets sweet(er).
    Salmiakki itself is just ammonium chloride (ammonium salt, sal ammoniac), but it pairs really well with liquorice, which is extract from the root of the liquorice plant. Like the word liquorice, the word salmiakki describes both the candy and the main ingredient.

    Salmiakki powder inside of Tyrkisk peber ("Turkin pippuri" in Finnish) is so good. You can get salmiakki powder on its own as well. Most famous one is "Hockey pulveri" (hockey powder). The packaging is like a hockey puck and inside of it is just salmiakki powder. Usually you eat it on its own or you mix it with vodka. Tyrkisk Pebers are also good when you mix it in vodka 😅

  • @nefrone

    Salmiakki is a dangerous candy. You'll most likely have to develop a taste for it, but then you'll never want to eat candy without it. It's a perfect combo with sweet candy, and you'll always miss it if you've got the taste.

    That sour milk, or Piimä is really good when combined with rye bread. Also yes, it is good for your stomach, even more so than yoghurts. There are even variants with added gut bacteria to enhance that effect even more. I always have a cup of Piimä at the end of meals to soothe my tummy and it actually works.
    It's also really good if you eat some really hot chili as the fat in it is pretty effective in washing the capscaisin of the chili off.

    Salmiakki is a licorice sweet flavored with ammonium chloride. It is mostly eaten in the Nordic countries, Germany and the Netherlands. It was sold in pharmacies as a cough medicine for several decades and it was produced in Finland as sweets already in the 1930s. Even today, if your throat feels a bit sore in the winter, sucking on the salmiakki in your mouth relieves it. People either like it or they don't. Finnish children usually learn to like the taste from an early age.
