salty liquorice
Salty liquorice, also known as salmiak or salmiakki, is a variety of liquorice flavoured with ammonium chloride, common in the Nordic, the Netherlands and Northern Germany. Ammonium chloride gives salty liquorice an astringent, salty taste〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Salammoniac: Salammoniac mineral information and data )〕 (hence the name), which has been described as "tongue-numbing" and "almost-stinging".〔 Salty liquorice is an acquired taste〔 and people not familiar with ammonium chloride might find the taste physically overwhelming and unlikeable.〔 Salty liquorice candies are almost always black or very dark brown and can range from very soft to very hard and may be brittle. The other colours used are white and variants of grey. Salty liquorice is also used as a flavouring in other products, such as ice creams and alcoholic beverages.
==History==
The words ''salmiak'' and ''salmiakki'' are derived from an archaic Latin name for ammonium chloride, ''sal ammoniacus'', meaning "salt of Ammon". "Ammon" in turn refers to the temple of Ammon at Siwa Oasis, where ancient Greeks found ammonium chloride. The word ''ammonia'' has the same origin. Ammonium chloride has a history of being used as a cough medicine as it works as an expectorant. Finnish author speculates that salty liquorice has its origins at drug stores which manufactured their own cough medicine. Where and when ammonium chloride and liquorice were first combined to produce salty liquorice is unclear, but by the 1930s it was produced in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands as a candy.〔
