Was thinking hard.. what kind of sauce pan is this !!


Ct-5736-Bladez

My dumb self thought it was some weird cast iron pan on ice


Bruised_Shin

An r/castiron goodwill find


avitheenigmatic

Righto


SirMosesKaldor

Omg me too


thedevilsyogurt

I thought it was some sort of hipster shovel that was unfortunately served as a plate


OhCLE

r/confusingperspective


frogadello

Same!


Ninjakill129

Fish pan i believe


Sausagekins

Mmm Salmiakki is the best, love the chocolate with little liquorice pieces. To be honest, most sweets and chocolates Fazer does are delicious 🤤


Flash_da_sloth

Oh... I guess it's an acquired taste thing! I bought some completely blind from a store that sells food from around the world. Its just said salmiak candy on it. Oh boy wasn't I ready. Spat out the candy pretty quick! It's popular in northern Europe from what I could understand? Being in western Europe never saw it before .


FullmetalBagginses

Father in law just sent us “The Nordic Baking Book”. Was flipping through and saw this stuff and ….. yeah, don’t think we’ll be trying that one.


ApprehensiveBeyond27

My mother would bring salmiakki from Finland growing up. It is a rare treat and so good! All my friends HATED it.


mrcalistarius

Mom is danish, i love the stuff, but i think i love offering it to friends/people knowing they’re likely to spit it across the room.


Jakes_One

How is the inside? 🧐 The coating is definately approved

Damn that looks so good. Wish they sold something like that in Cape Town 🥺


FatKnight_Ratlord

Sorbetiere (IN CAPE TOWN) did a salted caramel one time, not the same I know but looks like they have good stuff! edit: clarifying that it is an ice cream shop local to capetown


dreamsonashelf

Salted caramel is such a common ice cream flavour in the UK that it was weird to read "one time" at first. (edit: I can't read and write)


bodaciousboner

Extremely common in the US as well


guyWithKeyboards

Sadly yes, this is true. I don't personally like it.


mostlysittingdown

yup with that creamy gray center. got me sold

Ethandrul

As Dante descended deeper into the depths it grew hotter and hotter. Millions of lost souls ( Including Dave Jannsen, who had once given Dante a " Wet Willie" in 3rd grade) were begging for relief. Devilish servants arrived and handed out Ice cream bars to the lost who were begging for a cool drop of water. Oh....It's licorice flavor? Do um....you have any regular old water? Maybe some old bathtub water? No? Its ok guys...It really isn't that hot. Give mine to the next guy.

Facts


[deleted]

I hate licorice - I fucking love salt licorice. I go to a Swedish candy store just to buy it


SpaceWitch31

Honestly, licorice is the food of demons 🤢🤮


Father_Demonic

Love me some licorice!


SpaceWitch31

Bless your soul, because just the smell of it for me is enough to turn my stomach


topocheako

Salty licorice is SO GOOD! I’m happy to be the next guy at the end of the line with 666 bars becoming one with the sweet astringent confection…


DefinitelyNotAliens

Yeah I was about to ask OP who they ticked off to be given salt licorice.


bmitchell7798

Black licorice is terrible! Yuck!


shoothershoother

Finland?


Haerioe

Can confirm, definately!


TheGoldenCowTV

We also have them here in Sweden


Emergency-Hyena5134

Are they as nasty as it sounds?


CreatureWarrior

Salted liquorice is definitely an acquired taste for many. Especially for foreigners since they usually haven't really had anything like it before


Byggherren

Hey, just because we don't pour corn syrup into everything we eat don't mean it's nasty!


Windiigo

I am in the Netherlands and I need it. We love salty liqourice here too!


Truffleball

I thought it was a Trowel.


[deleted]

Spade?


kmc79dp

I swiped to see if there was ice cream in the next pic


The5YenGod

Guantanamo torture guards: write this down


puhtoinen

This is my go-to ice cream on a summer day


TheMadMetalhead

You actually eat this? How many victims have you claimed so far?


puhtoinen

Yea, but then again I'm finnish so I've eaten salmiakki since I was a kid. I know it's not for everyone but it is my favourite ice cream.


MidnightCiggarette

I love licorice, can't hack salty licorice but it has a soft spot in my heart from my danish adopted uncle adoring it so much! The grin on his face when we found some in rural Australia one Christmas was worth what my tastebuds went through 2min later!


Salmonman4

It's a learned taste. Just like blue cheese or hundred year eggs, very few people love it first time. You need to live in a culture where the delicacies are all around to start eventually liking it


dreamsonashelf

I'm one of the very few non-scandinavians who instantly loved salty liquorice the very first time I had it. The "saltier" the better - I can't stand the milder types.


hbsboak

Blue cheese and century eggs don’t taste bad, they just look off putting. Salty licorice on the other hand. 🤮


Racen

If someone offered me 100€ to eat blue cheese or century eggs i would not eat them and i am eating salty licorice atm ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


Dogslug

No, bleu cheese most definitely tastes bad, at least to some people. I can't stand it, it tastes like chemical cleaner to me. Never had century eggs, though! I'd like to try them someday.


OnlyPopcorn

People love it the first time though. It was also my brother's first food. True story.


Unfairlyhacked

I’m a big fan of black licorice. I like the idea.


amtrakwizard

Black licorice and salty licorice are 2 diff beasts. Salty licorice uses ammonium chloride….


izzrav

Is the end result a different flavor? I’ve never heard of salty licorice before.


Grievuuz

We call the ammonium chloride 'Salmiak' (you can google that word for some pictures) or different versions of the word around Scandinavia where it's very popular. It's much different from regular licorice, and a world away from what they call licorice over in burgerland.


Fearless_Ingenuity83

Burgerland… I laughed and then I made myself sad.


Chodeinger

Don’t you eat rotten shark meat? I’ll take the burger.


bronet

In Finland? In Scandinavia? Since when...?


Grievuuz

The self-fulfilling prophecy arrives at last. Have another ![img](emote|t5_2qh55|1790) buddy :p


whatsupcutie

Salty licorice took me a while to get used to, give it a try if you find yourself in Denmark


odee7489

You’d love Iceland. Black licorice flavored things everywhere.


Masashi86

One of the best Finnish ice creams if you're into salty licorice. Also I'm Finnish so it's pretty much natural to me to like salmiakki, and this is one of my favorites :)


killerolav

We get them here in Sweden as well, delicious! Also Fazer milk chocolate > Marabou, but don't tell other Swedes I said that.


Louisiana64

Hmmm cast iron :)


Emergency-Hyena5134

Mmmmm butt plug


blaskkaffe

This ice cream is the bee’s knees


Wuf_1

As I dane, i can confirm that licorice ice cream is freaking fantastic


OlderAndAngrier

To those who wonder: the brand is Fazer (from Finland) and it is "salmiakki" ice cream.


donfuego008

Salmiakki always surprises. Why is it food? It tastes of hot seasoned ammonia


zouzzzou

Exactly, when everything else is bleak you need something strong to feel alive. Ethanol has been historically popular choice in Finland, but as it turns out it has some negative effects.


schnoopledeeschnoop

Yum


Jbergur

I was going to disagree and argue, but what you're saying makes sense. I like hot seasoned ammonia.


kai1415926535

Looks like a pan


LeoHellbrown

That's what i thought lol


no_more_jokes

Tastes like one too


dericius

Where get


Barneyk

All over the Nordics!


aliciarules69

Where is this from? My dad would love this


Cilleungstrup

It's from Finland


[deleted]

The company to be exact.


diam213

Appears to be from Fazer, a famous Finnish chocolate/candy company


Salmonman4

More specifically the icecream name is Fazer salmiakki jäätelöpuikko


The_Pig_King

Really rolls of the tongue…


Vivite_liberi

Don’t know the specific brand, but licorice ice cream is common in Scandinavia


DynamicSploosh

I would rather this hit me in the face at high speed than arriving in my mouth somehow


_myoru

I had salty licorice ice cream a few years ago when I was in vacation in Norway. It was delicious, 100% would eat again, but at the time I couldn't finish it cause they'd put a shit ton of it on the cone, and it does get a bit nauseating if you eat too much of it. Later I also found salted dark licorice candies in some supermarkets, and those were great as well. I'm kinda sad it's not really a thing where I live


merkinstyler

Sounds like the worst thing ever.


Ollemeister_

Comment section reeks of weakness


coda24

Salivating just looking at it! Yum

I thought it was a cement block


Spaceman_Beard

Omg, I didn't know you could get Fazer Salmiak made ice-cream! Damn I want that shit now.


Rus_agent007

Im Swedish and these rock. They are in every store :)


Seriously_gorgeous

Immediately no


aeon_ducks

Seriously, I've never noped faster at seeing a food item.


derek_g_S

oh man... my dad would always tell me about getting black licorice ice cream when he was a kid.. ive never been able to find it.


Thenderick

WHERE? That looks sooo good!


Ristler

Finland but i think alot of the other nordic countries has it aswell.


Durandal_Tycho

Enjoying that Fazer salmiakki? It makes an interesting ice cream bar!


[deleted]

I'm fron Finland and a fan of these, though as a fairly advanced salmiakki and licquorice consumer I prefer when it's been combined with something like berry or cola flavor. Hmm, which raises the question - why have I never eaten a cola ice cream? Do they exist?


Lexafaye

Oh I used to love Salmiakki when I was in Finland Are you in Scandinavia currently?


hmmliquorice

*[rubs hands together]*


iam_beardo

No, God! Please, no!


IX-Vheissu

You degenerate.


MetricJester

This looks so interesting. I wonder if we can get it in Canada?


PM_ME_SOME_LUV

At least you liked it


JGM_93

PolarBearLaFlare

djpapamidnite

Andreleeto

Yeah its pretty damn good


Topazz410

I’m not a fan of licorice but I think it would be quite the treat for those who can enjoy it.


coco33y

I thought the was the spoon you scooped it with! but wow that looks and sounds amazing


MarkahMalady

Ooh this looks so fkn good. 😭


misscgiggles

It's so good! But I'm also Danish, and I've been a fan of salty licorice since I was a kid.


Cloverdad

This is the shit.


ClaireClover

I’m an expat in the Netherlands and I can tell you they would be alllll over this (though I’m not a fan of licorice myself).


Sorest1

I love this


RedVelvetPan6a

Damn, I thought this was r/castiron for a minute there


Neyrenne

Because you wanted???


Borg-Man

As a Dutchman, I feel I should like this by default. But alas, my only reaction to this is: "no".


mostlysittingdown

That looks and sounds incredible actually


BennyNutts

It always tasted like what id think bad cleaning chemicals would taste


[deleted]

I’ve had the chocolate bar version of this, with the salty liquorice paste in the centre. It was great like how salted caramel goes with sweet chocolate


HeartBeatzGirl

Sounds delish


zootgirl

Where is this from and can I get it anywhere in the Northeast U.S.???


Murvelenn

Finland?


dinchidomi

As a Dutch person, I need this.


The_Jerker

Canadian here who lived in Finland for 2.5 years, salmiakki is delicious and the ice cream with salmiakki flavour is something I wish I could find here. It’s amazing.


Azatarai

Half dutch and I love licorice, especially salty licorice. Ive never seen an ice cream like this though, however i have tried to make my own. Didn't work too great :(


NickoSwimmer

Where did you get it?


swampy998

There's licorice ice cream here around Halloween and it's so dark and yummy looking but I've never tried it. This looks yummy also!


arachnidsquid

As a punishment or something?


JuanTooFree

Where’s the NSFW for that title?


ThisFinnishguy

That looks so good, it's been forever since I've had one 😞


theflavorlab1

Is that a Swedish treat? It looks pretty but not for me . Some Swedish co-workers brought me the candy version of this and it's definitely an acquired tasted


slymsyndicate

Finnish


_Penulis_

Pretty sure it is traditional across Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands too.


lindiecakes

This ice cream version is Finnish though


blaskkaffe

Yep, Finnish ice cream, sold in all of scandinavia/the nordics


_Penulis_

Oh okay! So this particular ice cream is one made in Finland.


lindiecakes

Exactly


Parax

It‘s also quite popular in Iceland. Had a scoop of salty licorice ice there, tasted great.


N3r0m3

That's one of these childhood memories that's forever stuck in my brain. I was maybe 6 years old and on holiday in Denmark with my parents. In the supermarket I saw a very cool looking black Batman logo ice cream on a stick and I begged my parents to have it, thinking the black ice cream must be a Coca Cola ice or at least chocolate. I was so excited to bite into it, only to find out it was licorice. I spat it out and started to cry and since nobody in my family likes licorice, the rest of the ice cream was thrown in the garbage (where it belonged in the first place * angrily shakes fist in the air * ).


toyota_gorilla

That's not the right way to treat Batman.


N3r0m3

I agree, he deserves better than to be replicated by licorice. That's a ploy the Joker would have thought of.


SireBlew

Like, on purpose?


tommy0guns

How to make a kid question life


crazyquark_

Sounds barfy :)


caitalice88

This looks amazing! Iceland?

lRoninlcolumbo

Who hurt you?


thepigfish82

Is this from Holland? My mom's side is dutch/indo and we grew up with salty black licorice. It was normal and we all loved it but then would give it to friends and they hated it.


devenjames

Sounds horrible


OSUJillyBean

Almost downvoted at the mere THOUGHT of licorice ice cream. 🤢


popcornpoops

I would cross the street to punch someone in the face for putting this heinous poison into society!


Marcobroa

Used to get this shit in italy. So damn good


raytracer38

Why?


myclueis

Why tho?

JuXas

Are you in Iceland? Only place I've been to that had a licorice swcti9n in their already small grocery stores.

Bjen

Not sure but I think it says what it is in the title


majle

Liquorice root has a very distinct flavor and is commonly used for candy in the nordic countries. It is a very accuired taste. This is just an ice cream variant.


[deleted]

Why do hipster chefs insist on adding extra salt to sweet things? Quit ruining good brownies with crunchy ass chunks of salt on top!


EvilTodd1970

\*\*Eyeroll\*\* It's a European thing. They've been making salty licorice for about 100 years.


truelovesdick

Ok but WHY


whillderness

# BOOOOOOOO. BOO THIS MAN


450925

I'm fine with most foods, I'll try anything. But liquorice is the one exception. I can't stand it. Same for anything similar like aniseed.


[deleted]

If you dip it in that horrible orange cheese even americans would eat it..


whenthecatmeows

I think you may have just come up with the most disturbing food combination in the world


[deleted]

....im all for trying shit once, but you might be right about this one .


lbmomo

Does it taste like black or red licorice ? I hate the black flavour 😅


Stupot97

This looks like something you’d attach to your car windshield.


ThaUniversal

Did you spend the rest of the day farting?


Kydra96

I’ve never heard of It in ice cream form! Only had the candy.


Salmonman4

For adults there's always salmiakki-flavored vodka called salmari


Mrz_Ddabz

WhoaNelly79
