Salty licorice is so delicious. Last time I hit up the international store I found smoked salted licorice and it basically turbo crack to me. The only reason I haven't rushed back and cleared the shelf is it's like $10 a 120 g bag.
The Finns make a salty licorice liqueur!

I have to try it someday.
I love describing salty licorice to other Americans too. "So you know black licorice? Imagine it also being really salty and with a large hint of ammonia." Their looks of revulsion are priceless.
That liqueur sounds interesting. I think I have an affinity for things that sound wonky to most people I know. Petrochemical smells in Islay scotch? Fantastic. The funky hot garbage/burnt electronics of pot still Jamaican rum? Awesome. The sensation of making out with a spruce tree some gins have? Delicious.
I think it's the very definition of exported depression. But I also think I'd love it.
I don’t know if we see the same thing, but recently I got a small bag of salty black licorice from ikea, out of surprise that it’s really a thing, not just a TikTok challenge. I like black licorice, everyone like salt: maybe there’s some synergy like with chocolate and bacon? How bad can it be? So disgusting.
