    For anyone curious about the taste but not curious enough to try it, if you’ve ever had to rinse your mouth with tcp antiseptic liquid- it tastes kinda like that but saltier. Or like if rootbeer was salty instead of sweet.

      I think your description might be better than mine. (I don’t remember my experience with licorice being salty so mine is like a gingerly, tingly sensation)

      I’ll steal this one for the future when I explain it to newbs.

        Salmiak is a black liquorice that’s processed with amonium chloride and salt. It isn’t the same thing as ordinary black liquorice sweets.
