True

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

Ай бұрын

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.

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!

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!

"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.

Good Lord cracked up when you had Mämmi with Piimä 😂 It’s actually pretty ok with a lot of cream & sugar

as a Finnish i think that eating candy is not only for tasting sweet candies all the time, sometime you want to have experience with taste extremes and feel reactions to stuff, so you buy bag of mix of all kind of stuff and try different combinations of candies and see what happen !

Refreshing to see someone actually loving the salmiakki ice cream instead of spitting it out. That one is my favorite ice cream! I love the candies as well but I understand if they are a bit too much lol

You REALLY should try Fazer Mignon Eggs, they only sell them during Easter time. It's the second oldest Fazer product (from 1896). The oldest one is Pihlaja marmelade (1895).

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 😅

The actual "butterfly" buttermilk is the one that has a blue butterfly. Piimä is very good to your stomach that's why doctors in Finland drink piimä.

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.

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.

Mämmi and Piimä usually are, you like it or you hate it. And actually dipping mämmi to piimä is something my grandpa used to do. :D (normally you pour vanilla sauce on it)

Drinking some "butterfly milk" while watching this😂

I love it when you try Tyrkisk Pepper and you didn’t expect black liquorice and BOOM it’s black liquorice. It’s everywhere.

What i do with the rye chips is i make a dip with creime fraiche, chopped shrimps, onions and herbs to make a toast skagen style paste, but i dunk the chips in it. Great if you have friends over or something.

If you add few teaspoon lingonberry jam for that piimä and stir it well it will be really delicious.

"Butterfly milk, the gift that keeps on giving". Surely.

Gin Long Drink is a pretty old drink. It was made for the foreign tourists of Helsinki Summer Olympics 1952. And it has become a hit since then.

Mämmi with cream and sugar is delicious. Usually sells out in Sweden when I want it at easter so I bought one early this year and froze it for easter.

The salt in Salmiakki is Ammonium Chloride, not Sodium Chloride like normal table salt, same stuff you'd use in cleaning your soldering rod on and yes, if you have a clean ammonium chloride block for soldering, you can just eat it.

Mämmi is popular across Finland, particularly in the southern and western regions. Typically enjoyed around Easter with cream. It's known for its dark color and sweet, slightly bitter flavor.

I wish you tried Turkish Pepper the real one (the black one). We used to melt them on a stove and mix it with Koskenkorva (vodka type clear alcohol). It used to be THE thing :D Also if you google "possumunkki" with apple sauce, they are really good. Usually from every grocery store. "Sima" drink we drink during the first of May, would be interesting to see what you think about it. Most of us love it. Cookies of course like "Fazer Domino", "Fazer Jaffa" are classic.

AB-piimä is basically like nectar from the gods when you're hungover.

You guys must try something with tar. For example Leijona Tervalakritsi candy. Their unique, tar-infused flavour have been loved by Finns since 1933.

Great fun! Excellent video guys! The floorball (salibandy) idea is good! Go to the game! You should also take a ferry to Tallinn, if you have time. It takes only two-two and half hours for the trip. I prefer Tallink ferries, but Viking and Eckerö do the same. At least a day trip, but maybe over night. Tallinn is a great city and a lot of finnish people travels there. Some one said the Helsinki harbor is one of the most busiest harbors in the world.

The thing is, Salmiakki does not really have anything to do with liquorice - it is just commonly put into liquirice. It actually is an ammonia salt (ammonium chloride). It's a very strong tasting pure white powder.

Amazing video as always! What country are you heading to next?

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.

My go-to breakfast for a long time has been a 50/50 mix of piimä and mehukeitto (sweet fruit/berry soup). It turns into this sweet and sour yogurt like drink

I love those liqorice crunch bars, they sooo *FRIGGING* good!

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.
