Salt licorice
 

Hello All!

I don't know if it was in this ng but "salt licorice" was recently
mentioned to cries of "Ugh" and disgust. Today, I saw salt licorice
coins in sale in one of those bulk candy places in a mall. So what the
heck, I bought a small quantity. You know it hardly tastes of salt, nor
yet is very sweet but is hard, chewy licorice and I like it!

That's REAL licorice! Wonderful flavor, no fat, fairly low in sugar -
not salty either!
Love it

I have heard that it has a laxative effect. Is that true?

There are different degrees of saltiness. I buy licorice when I go to a
local Dutch store because it is so much fresher than anywhere else. I
have tried several different last licorices that they sell and some of
them are very salty, so salty that I couldn't handle it.

That sounds like salt water taffy from Atlantic City that comes in a
rainbow of flavors.

It's not made with salt either. I think it got it's name to evoke
thoughts of the shore in summer. Clever idea if that's true.

First time I had some I thought, if I was a dentist I'd give it to all my
patients! I learned to let it warm up in my pockets to soften them up.

I've never seen it in coins, only cylinders and drops.

How many flavors?

Then it's not the real thing LOL. It should taste equally of salt, sugar
and liquorice. Try to find a Dutch or Danish brand to compare.
