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!
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! :)
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 😉👌
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@buying_Time They also actually have licquorice over there. Lot of Dutchies went over there, besides English criminals. Theyre easy to get along with for Dutchies. Very similar people.
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! :)
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
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").
@@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?
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!!!
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.
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 ;(
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).
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!
I was given some licorice by a German friend. Since I like licorice I very happily put it in my mouth. After few seconds I discovered that it was very salty ... Never accepted sweets from her anymore. 😆
I made my French boyfriend eat this once, he now keeps suggesting I give this to his little nephews when they misbehave. XD One of them has asthma, so I'm not going to risk it.
Literally started salivating just watching this, guess the muscle memory is strong! Will go out and get some! if you overindulge in this though R.I.P. your "gehemelte"
Crazy enough, this "Salmiakbal" is made in Belgium, by the Belgian brand Napoléon. And Belgians do not like it at all, and it's not even sold in Belgium apart from the Albert Heijn shops. The Dutch have salmiakballen since ages, but this type - wrapped in cellophane - is rather new. I like them, but I lived in the Netherlands from age 1 to 7. The Original Belgian Napoléon candy is a yellow lemon taste ball, with very sour lemon powder on the inside. Since a few years they came up with other flavors as well, like orange, raspberry, red fruit, apple, ... But for the Dutch market they came up with Salmiak, Drop (Salt Liquorice), Apple-Cinnamon, ... Very smart move! Even the Dutch believe that this is a typical Dutch candy! They have also Caramel-Seasalt and Speculaas (spiced biscuit, in Belgium known as Speculoos, thus also branded for the Dutch market)
Fun part is the dutch call it snoep candy not sweets .. We actualy do have Kandijsuiker . of kandij a cristalised sugar originating from india and persia . As the dutch used to have a colony in the kingdom of kandy on the island of ceylon . you can see where the word candy comes from .
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!
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.
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.
I'm Dutch and I LOVE all Dutch licorice! In fact, I ate so much that it put me in the hospital last year! Who knew it could lower your potassium and give you high blood pressure? Eat in moderation.
ooh that's not too great ending up in the hospital :( that said, i actually i knew it raised blood pressure, i even know people with low blood pressure that eat them to raise it, just like some will ingest garlic to lower blood pressure, but honestly never knew about the potassium part either
@@klontjespap Yes I had to have potassium infusions for 4 days to get it back to normal, the doctor said he’s never seen it so low as mine! You can actually die from low potassium 🥲
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. 😂
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.
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
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 🙂
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.
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 one example of why the American English word candy is a better translation of “snoep” than the British English word “sweets”.

@@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.
Ik wens iedereen die aan deze video's meewerkt een gelukkig nieuwjaar!
It's always a joy seeing people "enjoying" salmiakballen for the first time
Define 'enjoying'
@@DeepintheSeadra sarcasm 😅
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.
That Australian dude must have some Dutch DNA. Not just judging by this video but by all videos. Happy to have him here.
Haha the tortured look after they bite through the candy is priceless only the Aussie guy stays positive 🤣

Being a Dutchman living abroad, I must admit I buy such stuff when I visit Holland.
I use to buy the raw "salmiak in a straw" candy, when I was a kid. Loved it!
Maybe you should have told them that salmiac is actually made by mixing 2 toxic gasses: ammonia and hydrochloric acid. Still delicious though.
I introduced these during the time we played poker as the guys would always steal my sweets, they stopped quick smart! I love them!
