    Those friendly little sugar coated licorice sticks are merely a gentle gateway licorice to prepare the taste buds of our three year olds for the real stuf: ‘dubbelzoute drop’ and ‘salmiakbommen’.

    I don't even think they are the regular sticks, which I love. These look like they have Salmiak in them, and that is an acquired taste. I never looked at the inside of them, so I can be very wrong.

    although most do not even contain liver these days. It is lika a "modern" form of like pott meat, to conserve it. I think that is basically the basic idea between all those European meat spreads, be it a real french pate, a German "Leberwurst" or "Streichwurst" (the first one would have some liver in it, if it is a traditional receipe, the second could be literally anything) or whatever. .

    Just a translation; when the Dutch say "mexican" in regards to a recipe, they mean "it contains corn kernels.". It also has a 50% chance of containing beans. Something like half of all words in the English language are derived from the Dutch word. Even the word "word". XD For example Coffee entered the English language from the Dutch Koffie. And you pronounce them the same.

    Do American's really not know what muesli is? Almost every ration site seems to think it should be oatmeal (porridge). It is a mixture of grains, crushed oats, fruit and nuts, originally from Switzerland I believe, that is served with milk, hot or, more usually, cold. Think of it as a less lumpy granola. It has to be said, heat the food for best taste, and spread the meals out over the day. I thought the meals looked really tasty.

    Yeah, I remember the old WOL-pakket (warme maaltijd, ontbijt en lunch). Two Struijck tins and a box of assorted goodies. The old style ones required a tin opener and were things like "peas, potatoes and pork" or "brown beans and pork", the later ones had the easy open tops on the tin. I personally found the rice, chicken and ratatouille ones horrible, there was always a texture to those that was like someone added a teaspoon of sand during the production process. I loved the chocolate bar and the thick crackers in the old style boxes, you could live a day off of the chocolate alone.

    @@0cypher0 Interestingly, as a student I used to eat brown beans and pork belly on a fairly regular base as it was cheap. Drizzle the hot fat over the beans and scoop a generous spoon `appelstroop` through it and it was a pretty decent meal. Because I was sort of used to this combination the brown beans and (lean) pork tin was the only one that I managed to empty, though due to not being able to bring stroop I added a sachet of sugar instead. To think that these cans were also sold in regular supermarkets... always wondered what masochists bought them, never saw anyone grab one. The `zeekaak` (dehumidified thick crackers) was my favourite as well, I used to collect them from the others in my group who apparently had weak teeth ;) and if I'd been lucky enough to be able to smuggle a salami along I would throw out the Struyk tin instantly and live the good French life on crackers and sausage, less the wine.

    The brown molasses was probably appelstroop, a typical molasses that is made from apples. It has no distict apple flavor, but it is slightly tart (and refreshing) while still packing a whole load of sugar (energy). It is delicious on whole rye bread, or on a slice of Gouda cheese!

    Adult licorice works by making it extremely salty. The flavor comes from ammonium chloride, known as salmiakki in Finland. Scandinavians believe that the saltier licorice is, the better it is, but too much ammonium chloride is bad for your health. Thus, the EU wanted to set a cap of 0.3% salt in licorice, but the adult licorice is ten times that. This resulted in a genuine fear the Scandinavians, especially the Finns, would leave the EU because of it. Therefore, the EU made an exemption for sweets and ice cream, and packets have to say: "Adult licorice, not licorice for children." Facts from QI Tv Show (BBC)

There's a variety of 'traditional' tastes, like salmiak, eucalyptus, laurel and honey, but they're often mixed with fruit-flavoured gums too. They also come in many different shapes. The equivalent of Good&Plenty would be 'dropstaafjes' with sugar coating in bright colours. Your friends don't like black licorice? Treat them to sugar powdered tarantulas! Licorice and ginger are the oldest known candies. Licorice root is in the top ten of Chinese traditional medicine.
