- Have you ever tried the Dutch 'salmiakbal'?
It's probably the biggest culture shock for foreigners with regard to Dutch food! Of all the Dutch liquorice, the 'salmiak bal' has the most extreme taste!

These people just don't know how to apreciate good ingredients like hydrochloric acid and ammonia.
And you can use it as plant fertiliser too!
Indeed.... So amazing I crave some now 😂
I remember making this during chemistry, it was awesome
Yeah you can use it as cat food to
I love them too! I guess sweets have to be pure sugar for them. Or anything that is even sweeter than pure sugar.
I'm too much of a dutch person. I have not had these in ages, but after seeing this I want to go out and get some.
Thirst thing i thought was "I'm going to buy some today"
Ha same 😂
Exactly!
Same!
Jaa goed plan
This is like the perfect “ sweet” to give to Asians when they give us food that is too spicy for our liking and laugh at us 🌶 🤣
Het is een 'sweet' omdat wraak zoet is 😈
@@thedam271 Damn!
Jeetje, ben ik dan de enige Nederlander die geen moeite heeft met pittig eten uit het buitenland en dan zoals het echt daar bereid wordt. Dat "pittige" eten van hier is echt zo tammetjes.
@@sloppyprogrammer4373 Voor elke vraag met: Ben ik de enige? is het antwoordt: Nee! Natuurlijk niet.
it's not a sweet though. it's a candy.
As a Dutchie,I can tell you I still eat salmiak-powder raw. The good old wet finger in the powder and then lick it off. You will truly feel alive, and your salivaglands too :P
Yeah and please the brown one. Not the white one which has so much sugar in it. I want my tongue to feel bone dry and burnt! And I want to want to keep going but feeling sick at the same time!
Hahaha lang geleden maar zeker goed! En dan de extra extra zoute 👌
Ja lekker.... in die potjes of die gele zakjes..... niet zo goed voor je bloeddruk maar oh zo lekker....😉
The yellow sacks with the bears on it ("Zoete beertjes")! And after sticking your wet finger in it a few times it becomes all wet and dark. As a kid, I loved this! Or the straws filled with zwart-wit that blocked because too much saliva went in it! :)
@@acjk8521 I was a little addict to it, my Fingers did't get clean any more.
This is one example of why the American English word candy is a better translation of “snoep” than the British English word “sweets”.
Fun fact, the word candy is American, and comes from the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam/New York. It comes from the Dutch word 'Kandij', which is a form of sugar.
So candy started out as sweet since it was literally sugar.
Hahaha, I love the salmiakballen ! I'm curious about their reaction to the lemonballs from the same brand 🤣
Thanks to the students for being proefkonijn 😉👌
Wineballs are the best tho
Boterballen zijn pas echt oldskool
Im curious why there were no Finnish 'contestants', they would have loved it. Salmiaki is quite a famous Finnish delicacy that borders very much on this Dutch candy in terms of taste.
Volgens mij is het een chemisch industrieel restprodukt dat toevallig een interessante smaak heeft en niet schadelijk is. Vroeger noemden we het zwart-wit, dacht ik maar ik ben er niet zeker van of dat hetzelfde is.
Borders? Ammonium chloride is the same in both countries
@@manuell3505 het is hetzelfde als zwart-wit. Toen ik iets van een maand geleden nog een zak salmiakbollen had gehaald, stond er "zwart-wit" op.
These people were students learning Dutch. There were probably currently no Finnish students
Yes, it is not just typically Dutch. The Swedish and Danes have it. The Fins probably call it Turkish pepper for a reason also.
Part 2: those yellow balls of bonbon napoleon. That will teach damn for so much negativity about salmiakballen hahaha (evil laugh)
Those are delicious
Let's call those "Very sweet" , mwhahahah 🤣
Of natuurlijk de dropballen :D (laughs maniacally)
Hahaha, so funny! I think they are delicious! I love it when the little holes appear and the pure ammonium chloride (salmiak salt) creeps out, and then after that has vanished they really do taste sweet again. I think they are the salty equivalent of the super sour sweets, and they actually have a sibling that may well be the ancestor of the super sour sweets. It is the citrus Napoleon. I love all of them, but I love the salmiak and drop version most. Be aware theough, after having a few, they will make many small cuts in your tongue and gums and that can keep on hurting for a little while. The more violently you suck on them, the worse that will get, so just eat two or three, but not too many at once!
and try not to suck on them too much haha, it's temping though. they can also get stuck to your tongue or cheek if you suck on them :P
Yes. But Ive heard even super sour sweets aren't very popular outside of the Netherlands and the Nordic countries.
Fun fact: when you mix the highly toxic/corrosive ammonia and acid, you get the edible ‘salmiak’ or ammonium chloride. It’s basically edible ammonia salt and it’s very fun to make with children to teach them that science is fun! :)
Also mix that acid with sodium metal to get regular table salt :)
Yea we did this at school
I guess they have never tasted salmiak before (apart from the Australian). Interesting to see how people respond to a new flavour.
I think that it's a mix of expectations and taste more than responding to a new flavour. 😊
I'd never tried it before this, but I was happily surprised 😅
@@peptidiot it is actually made with hydrochloric acid and ammonia mixed that made the salmiak salt , the 2 ingredients separately would be toxic 😉
@@JohnBoonBeanDutchman What's life without a few toxic chemicals? 😉
@@peptidiot I thought the reason you liked it might also be because of vegemite, which has a fairly similar taste palette, I think.
It's always a joy seeing people "enjoying" salmiakballen for the first time
Define 'enjoying'
@@bananenbrood7386 sarcasm 😅
Het is salmiak, en dat 'sal' staat ook voor het Latijnse 'zout'!
Misschien een leuk weetje: Salmiak wordt gemaakt van ammoniak en zoutzuur, twee enorm giftige stoffen, maar samen vormen ze snoepgoed :P
Maybe you should have told them that salmiac is actually made by mixing 2 toxic gasses: ammonia and hydrochloric acid. Still delicious though.
Salmiakballen are so fucking good, these expats are insane.
But I guess all things taste bad if you anticipate a completely different flavor, chocolate?!?!?! WTF!!!
The Australian guy totally gets it, it's an experience for sure! I personally don't eat them a lot myself but when I do get them, it brings back so many childhood memories. Just like zoethout, zoute drop & stroopsoldaatjes, it's those "weird" traditional dutch sweets that bring back the best memories.
Ahh, stroopsoldaatjes. Licking them so sharp and then stab my siblings. Good times good times
Then again, he is Australian. As long as it isn't very toxic or painful he will probably like it. They have different standards over there.
Being a Dutchman living abroad, I must admit I buy such stuff when I visit Holland.
Haha the tortured look after they bite through the candy is priceless only the Aussie guy stays positive 🤣
Ik wens iedereen die aan deze video's meewerkt een gelukkig nieuwjaar!
I absolutely love those! Last year when I was abroad I gave salt liquorish to my foreign coworkers thinking they would not like it, but they loved it. They ate two sacks of different salty liquorish! ( They where a Spaniard, Croatian, German, Dane and a Hungarian so apparently not all the world hates salty "sweets").
I assure you they're exceptions 😅😂
@@PurityM haha, could be! I actually like it that most Dutch like this and most foreigners not. Is there something from you're country that you all like, but you're certain others won't?
@@Maxzor11 I think most foreigners wouldn't like frogs and snails. Delicious though
Wrong! Also Finns love salmiakki (and lakritsi)!
Brothers and sisters in the salmiak! 😉
Can you do:
People react to dutch music?
I think its gonna be so fun!
Yes! ua-cam.com/video/wPAtIahqM3E/v-deo.html
@Roland Lemmers I love this...a perfect example of Dutch "music"!
Since I have tasted Dutch licorice, I hate the Haribo variety for its dullness. 😛
Love those, as well as the dubbelzout drop! But I can totally imagine that you have to grow up with these to appreciate them :)
I'm Dutch, but I really don't like the double salt liqourice. I prefer the sweet variety.
Judging by their faces I would probably love these! Greetings from Finland
I love how everyone’s just “NO AAAHHH-“
And the Australian just “yeah it’s nice :)”
I love salmiakballen, wish I could get some rn
I laughed (In a good way) when he said "Little sweety bonbons" and thought... wait for it...
Salmiak herinnert my aan de Lakritz Staaf. Als kinderen braken wij een stuk van die staaf af en duuwde het in een fles water en na shudden voor zo'n half uur hadden wij dan shuim op zwart water; dan deden wij lekker 'schuimtje trekken' van de fles nek. Salmiak was verkocht in korreltjes in kleine papieren zakjes om ze zo op de tong te shudden... Daarom zijn wij vandaag nog 'toffe jongens', dat zullen ze weten' ;)
Sjepwater noemden wij dat, maar dat moest er wel echt uren uren inzitten. Ik was altijd te ongeduldig en proefde het te snel, zat er bijna geen smaak aan😂🤣
@@saskiapanter Ja ook op zuid-limburgs plat noemde wij dat lacritz drankje 'sjoemwasser'; maar daar moet je ook geduld voor hebben dat wij als kinderen bijna nooit hadden ;(
In West Brabant noemden we dst schommeldruk
Bart, honestly, from one Dutchie to another… when are you going to tempt them with double salted liquorice?! 😜
Try the Swedish 3X Salty Liquorice.
Actually its à cleaningproduct, ammonium chlorhydrate but we Dutch like to have a clean mouth😅
You are such a mean guy Bart 🤣
Wait until they taste the lemon version 🤣
I use to buy the raw "salmiak in a straw" candy, when I was a kid. Loved it!
Being a Dutchy, Pavlov actually made me dribble 🤣
i really feel like running to the store and buy and eat it immediately!! 😋
I bet the Aussie is a big marmite fan too.
Haha, was thinking just the same.
Vegimite ☺
Obviously, but moreso Vegemite or Promite 😋
@@peptidiot there is even a third option?!? I wasn't aware of Promite. What's the difference with Marmite?
@@paolagrando5079 Marmite is more British. Vegemite is the main brand in Australia, and Promite is just a little cheaper and inferior, in my opinion 😋
That Australian dude must have some Dutch DNA. Not just judging by this video but by all videos. Happy to have him here.
Love them! I had the lollies as a kid.
The lollies are even better
It's an acquired taste. You don't like it now yet but you'll learn to love it later! ❤️😂
Patrick is too cool.
I'm just happy to try new things 😅
As a Dutch person living abroad I have lakrisal on me at all times to freak people out with the kind of treats we like 🤣
That's a long time ago....
Gonna get me some rolls of those tomorrow !!!!!!
Ik geloof dat mijn lakrisalrolletje al het vocht uit de lucht heeft gezogen xD xD.
I was adicted to those when I was a teenager. That and salmiakdrop (sal ammoniac licorice) and double salted licorice!! You also had those small pots which contained sal ammoniac powder which were even better. I've been very very nauseous a lot of times because I overate on that.
I'm very curious what they (your students) would think of Napoleon lemon...the yellow balls with the very sour powder on the inside. And those little cinnamon pillows or cinnamon sticks (loved those to but not so much as sal ammoniac licorice.... guess dutch kids like stong flavours).
Yes to all of those! Also, salmiak lollypops - yum!
This is too funny! Shows a lot about how different people's tastes are and how it is formed by your upbringing. Have them try the lemon Napoleons next, you'll get some great faces.
If this is their reaction to salmiakballen, I would love to see there reaction to Potters! They also look quite deceiving.
Reading the comments, I have to take a bag to the store now.
Potters... ook op het lijstje 😂👍
How can ppl not like this? One of the best tastes in the world haha
I am Dutch and I love this tbh. Thankfully I can share my love of this with my Finnish (And some Danish) coworkers lol. The worst thing I ever tried was licorice flavored chocolate, that's just two good things that are TERRIBLE together. The textures are wildly bad as a combo.
Actually after watching this video I went straight to Albert Heijn and bought a bag for myself lol
Salmiakki!
Vraag je Finse vriend naar eens naar teer-ijs. By far het aller smerigste ever!!
Honestly the chocolate and liquorice combination grows on you like liquorice does.
@@Missboot800 lekker juist :)
Salmiakbal is excellent. The specific salty taste (referred to as salmiak) is also present in some salty licorice
Ik had al heel lang geen video meer van je gekeken; ze zijn nog steeds leuk!
Oh my God I love ❤ those!! I live in the States but am Dutch, I miss them so much,
Ate tons of them as a kid, but I guess it's an acquired taste.
We dutch have been conditioned to love these types of flavors since birth. Drop, salmiak, it just makes me happy 😁
Funny how there's video's on this channel of people roasting the Dutch cuisine, but they are not able to taste the sweet of a salmiakbal! Because it's definitely sweet as well as salty 🙂
It's an acquired taste. Liquorish is very much a northern European thing.
Dit is zo leuk! Brengt alles in perspectief... we zijn even vreemd als de ander vreemd is voor ons love this
I introduced these during the time we played poker as the guys would always steal my sweets, they stopped quick smart! I love them!
My grandfather always had one of these with him almost everywhere where he goes. When waiting in the hospital, sitting in the train he always ate one and offered me and my brothers also one. My oldest brother and mother eat this candy with him. For me as a 100% Dutch born and raised I never liked it. Its digusting. Sometimes to please my grandfather I accepteded this "salmiakbal" and try it, but everytime I had to spit it out. 😂
Me and my wife moved to Norway in May 2021 and I have to say I really miss the pungent licorice. There is Turkisk Pebber and that's bascially it. This world needs more salmiaki!
This is so hilarious. Please make more videos like this🍹
Im disappointed when theres almost no powder inside.. but when there is.. its heaven.
I'm Frisian-Canadian, grew up on all of this, and it's really not that bad
These are really salty?! I’ve had these since childhood, being Dutch. It’s just salmiak to me and delicious 🤤
"Do you give it to kid's when they misbehave?" hahahaha.
I love salmiak, i do prefer the little jars with the salmiak in powder form. And zwart/witjes.
I love the dog sitting so casual on the girls lap.
These were my absolute favorite when I was little
Sounds right up my alley
4:14 what a lovely dog 🥰🥰🥰🐾🐾
He said milk. He actually said milk.
And these are great btw! But hey, I'm Dutch.
LOVE THOSE!!
I would love to see a Nordic person try this. They probably like it.
Yeah, should be the same to salmiakki.
Aye especially Norway has so many types of ‘drops’.
As a Dutchie i vistit a friend of my in Finland and in a supermarket i saw a lot of liquorice and salmiak candy.
They would probably be like: Meh, is this what you Dutch call salty? 😂
@@s.b.907 It's salty? I think it's rather sweet.
I really want to try these. I love salty/salmiak drop.
Instantly started drooling watching this.
I am from Germany and i love Salmiak Balls 😍! I always have to buy them when i'm in NL!
Je had ze ook de gele moeten laten proeven met de citroen erin. Die zijn de lekkerste 😍
Thanks for the tip, I'll go get some tomorrow, top of the list.
Mens, zo'n tijd geleden, pure salmiak ... bestaat dat nog? Domme vraag, van der Pigge in Haarlem.
Die dropballen of dropstokken van de kermis zijn master
Poor guys. By the way, please mind your teeth, don't bit anything that hard if you're 40 (let alone if you're over 50)! And don't give this to small kids either, they might choke on it.
I found this Wikipedia article on the history of this salty liquorice/licorice and its many variaties:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salty_liquorice
And thanks for another delightful video, Bart, you're adorable:-) By the way, Gelukkig Nieuwjaar and stay safe!
It's my dna, but I get this sent to me in the US all the time and was born here.😎👍✌
Double (or tripple) salted drop and Salmiak riksen/poeder/ballen where my favourite candies as a kid, I couldn't get enough of those and if not careful I would finish the entire package in one go.
Now i want it . I love these things
I instantly have the urge for a salmiakkogel XD
Salmiak salt is the salt that gives a lot of liquorice it's specific taste.
It tastes different from the salt people are used to but is actually a good match for the sugar in these balls and the black gum in liquorice
I'm not kidding you that's my favorite candy!
I'm an original Dutch girl whose parents "dragged" her to California at the age of 3.
I miss that candy, Drop and then the licorice stick
I love this stuff, I think Finnish people eat them too, any Finns here?
When I eat this balls I only crave for the inside😆🥰 now I want one🤦
lol you fixed the title. Nice one.
Bart bamboozled em lmao
This, and Dubbelzoute drop were my favourites growing up, which is probably why I have false teeth now. But don't worry, I have a lot of dutch friends who hate drop and salmiak as well. It's nice, just not for everyone.
im laughing my ass off with people trying unknown candy.
btw the exterior 'salty' part is salt mixed with drop, and if i remember from the lollipop version, its sweet in the inside.
same with rootbeer some love it others not anyway i love it by the gallon
dan moet je ook de zure napolions doen.
Salmiak is a mixture of amoniumchloride and hydrogenchloride. Two very dangerous chemical componants due to their high and low ph levels. But together they balance each other out and make salmiak 😊
don't mind me, just putting salmiakballen on my shopping list. yum!
I'm salivating thinking of it...
Ooooh I miss those..... yummie!
Salmiak is amazing. I had it a lot as a child. The powdered brownish stuff. In little plastic jars or closed straws. Nowadays it's not widely available anymore.
3:50 🇳🇱'Je Maintiendrai'🇳🇱
that one man be vibing
Die vind ik dus heerlijk.( I love them!) I love everything that has Salmiak in it. In Scandinavia you also find these 'sweets', more liquorice, with this particular taste. ;)
I am dutch my self and these video’s are really Funny
Heerlijk!
hier in Finland zijn ze nog gekker op salmiak dan Nederland
