Prior to seeing people outside of Finland taste salmiakki, it never occurred to me to even associate the taste of salmiakki with "salty". To me, it was always just a distinct flavor. But yeah, I suppose it's "salty" as it has ammonium chloride.
yeah, it is a salt of ammonia and chloride so it is salty de facto :P but Have you tried pure salmiakki powder so you dont taste any liqourice and get the pure salmiakki flavour? I have and I would probably say it is salty by the sensation and maybe partly by taste, but on the other hand it tastes very different (better) from table salt (NaCl) at least to me.
I had a similar experience like I never even thought that salmiakki was salty until I saw someone outside Finland testing it and describing it so. I just thought it was candy that tasted different
Same for me. Never thought that salmiakki is salty, it´s just good.
Except those sweidish ones with that powder. That’s salty.
@@kala1780 pure ammonium chloride still tastes like salmiakki to me, cause the chemical is what i really like in salmiakki :D
The comment about grandma only having piimä was spot on 😂😂
True
Mämmi is basically rye porridge sweetened with fermentation and you normally eat it with either cream or vanilla sauce not by it self.
Lots of sugar and cream for me. So good!
Some people also use milk
Usually eaten with cream or sugar. Not everyone's favourite.
It really divides people. I don't hate it but it's not my favourite either.
Definitely needs the cream or vanilla sauce. Combined with those mämmi is quite tasty. :)
There is nothing like watching foreigners enjoy salmiakki. 😅
Its really interesting how everyone outside of Finland says Salmiakki is salty. I have never thought that Salmiakki is salty. It just tastes like Salmiakki. :D The AB in the Piimä literally means the bacteria. Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria.
Yeah salmiakki is a taste, it's not salty
Ruokasuola on natrium-kloridia, salmiakki taas ammonium-kloridia, eli ammoniakin suola? 😵💫
@@arjuna-fn2pg You are correct, it's a type of salt.
@@ruukinen Joskus muksuna kemian tunnilla sekoitettiin ammoniakkia ja suolahappoa. Siitä tuli salmiakkia.
every nordic countrys have "salmiakki"
Something people never mention is TAR! Finns like the tar (terva) flavour and it's as normal as licorice. It would definitely be interesting for foreigners.
If you capitalize the letters like that Americans will think it's an abbreviation of something.
Oh, tar sweets are so good, though.
and the smell too@@seracila432
That is just what I was about to say, haha. I did bring like 3kg of fin candy to South Carolina for friends to test and 2kg of chocolate for the lady at the reception 😂 last time I was there
Leijona-tervalakritsi!
You usually put some milk / cream with Mämmi. Maybe a bit of sugar on top. It's usually eaten only during Easter time.
I have never seen anyone put milk in mämmi. It is either cream or vanilla sauce. Some people add sugar, which I find strange because it already tastes very sweet.
kyllä se mämmi maistuu niin paljon paremmalta punasen maidon kanssa ku jonkun kerman.@@FinnGamble
Plain vanilla ice cream is good choice with mämmi (more ice cream than mämmi).
@@FinnGamble Lots of people put milk on it, milk and sugar. Depends where in Finland you live
Sugar is for the weak, cream or milk is fine but have you tasted how good raw scoops of mämmi taste like
Piimä is cultured. The AB stands for Acidophilus-Bifidus, which are both lactic acid bacteria.
Right. The comparisson to yoghurt is on point. Both are milk products that have had bacteria cultures added. And basically all lightly fermented products are good for you. Like kimchi, sauerkraut, et cetera.
Fun fact also: Salmiakki was originally used as cough medicine.
I still use couch medicine that tastes like salmiakki.
Edit: Had to add that it's the only taste in couch medicine that I can take.
@@9Misaki3 professorin yskänlääke from yliopiston apteekki is WAY too good tasting XD
i thought salmiakki was used as bloodpressure medication or something like that.
@@moonliteX I mean, in the 19th century they prescribed weird shit to all kinds of ailments. Gonorrhoea? "Ehh... lets treat it with salmiakki!" Headache? "Salmiakki!" Insomnia? "Salmiakki definitely!"
It's the same thing as coca cola. That was originally a medicine as well.
@@9Misaki3We have one in Sweden called Quilla Simplex that tastes like licourice as well, still a favorite.
Long drink in Finland is called Lonkero, which translates to "a tentacle". I've always thought it's funny 🐙
Yes, Lonkero (= a tentacle)! Thats the funny Finnish nickname of it, derived from the Eglish word "long". 😊❤
@@KristinaWes It's just Finglish from long drink.
There are plenty of nicknames, lonkku, kero, betoni, a few off the top of my head.
ua-cam.com/video/ByF1hPHeYew/v-deo.htmlsi=ID15UoLn6j8sJcro
@@ruukinen- yeah? And you're explaining this for a Finn that just said the same thing in other words? 🤔🫣 Come on! 😂
Fazer Blue is the standard chocolate, it is the benchmark of "just chocolate". So, basic, everyday chocolate. It just happens to be at the right spot of everything, not too sweet but still very sweet... it is perfect but that also makes it quite underwhelming if you expect something that is "wow"... When you crave chocolate, it hits the spot better than any other.
I think Fazer blue is the best chocolate in the world
Take 200gr bar Fazer Blue, chop it to small pieces with knife on cutting board, then take 2 dl of thick fatty cream heated it in pan and add the chocolate stir until the chocolate is melted and mixed. Take several glasses, add frozen berries, lingon berrries or cranberries work best to those glasses and then cover with cream and chocolate mix, then let them cool in fridge. Serve as dessert and enjoy!
Loved your reaction to the ice-cream 😂
You work for a 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a bitcion coin for just fe months and now they are multimillionaires thanks to Charlotte Grace Miller
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
After I raised up to 125k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states also paid for my son's surgery
Glory to God shalom.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $7500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
Salmiakki is a true Finnish legend, and "foreigners trying salmiakki" is a whole genre of funny videos 😂
Totta😂❤true
i giggled out loud when they showed the turkisk peber bag. OOHHHH SONNY IT AIN'T OVER YET
They got the baby version though, that fruity mix
OMG I thought their heads were gonna explode. Lucky for them it was the mild version!
I saw the 'mämmi' at intro and instantly thought; "Oh, dear, I asked them to avoid it at all cost."
This mämmi tasting is really getting old
mämmi is good, not all finish people cant be wrong
@@lapaluuhun Well there's no one more Finnish than me and I hate it 😂
I love how accurate the description of your grandma only having piimä is lol.
Story time on long drink. It was originally created for the Helsinki olympics for something to give to tourists and athletes coming to Finland. It was meant to be served only during the games, but it was so popular among Finns that it just became our little thing. I personally have had enough of it. Used to drink plenty, but now I just can't. Goes to the same pile as cider, I'm not big on sugary alcohol drinks.
Salmiakki is definitely an acquired taste. I remember hating it as a kid, but my for my dad it was the only candy he ate (and thus had in his car), so I just eventually learned to love it. I was living in central Europe for a year and I brought like ten bags of salmiakki candy with me because I knew that I couldn't take a whole year without it. Literally I would not have made the year. I promise you that if you weaned yourself **onto** salmiakki, it would eventually be your favorite candy. I promise you! I fully respect how you went all in and really ate the stuff and not just spit it out immediately!
Tyrkisk Peber has salmiakki inside it.
Those rye snacks are really supposed to be dipped into something. They are fine like that, but with some salsa or something those things are delish!
Mämmi really is supposed to be be eaten with cream, milk or something along with it. Plain mämmi is fine, but like a vanilla cream on it is the bomb!
Along the long drink they also made a "Golden Longdrink", but that was actually considered to be "too drinkable, and attractive to young ppl" so they banned the sales of it. You can make it yourself buy mixing Jaloviina (one star) and Pommac -lemonade.
You nailed it on everything else except there's really no way I can really enjoy mämmi. I know many can but it's not like salty liquorice (=salmiakki=ammonium chloride). You can't learn to like it IMO.
I like how you kept eating the salmiakki even after struggling 😂 You gave it a good chance. most foreigners spit it out or something from what i have seen xD
You're right about the Piimä and the Grandma! It's mostly an older generation favorite. Pretty healthy though, and weirdly refreshing
Someone has said that Finns don't eat cheese but have milk. In old days I think milk was meant for children.
@@soilimahlanen7947Finn’s definitely eat cheese I would know since I am one.

@@soilimahlanen7947 Aa ok, vähän niinku stereotyyppi? Kiitos selvennyksestä
try salmiakki koskenkorva
^^this is something you cannot miss when you are traveling in Finland!
And you need to buy it from Alko since it's vodka, kind of.
@@angusmacgyver liqueur. nothing to do with vodka it's just the original booze from that brand what's confusing you.
Kyllä suomalainen mies tekee turkinpippureista ja finlandiasta salmarinsa xD
@@angusmacgyver It is actually liqueur.
Hi, native here! I liked that you really tried those all, not even every finn eats salmiakki and mämmi. Those have always divided people, but for a foreigner it's a propably more suprising thing for sure. Mämmi is eaten on the spring time and usually with heavy or mild cream or milk and sugar on top of it. And with a cup of coffee with it. I never eat it straight without any milk product atleast. It changes the flavor so much and sweetens it. Good testing after all and I like that you are honest and don't like everything just because it's foreign.
Salmiakki and black licorice are different. Licorice is plant but salmiakki is ammonium chloride, originally in form of white powder
In Denmark we like crushing the Tyrkisk Peber and mixing it with vodka. And everything with salty licorice is good if you ask most Danes. In that case we are just like the Finns.
You can order salmiac vodka or "Salmari" basically from every bar in Finland. Also Fisu, which is the same but with Fisherman's Friend pastilles. Or Terva with some tar pastilles, etc. You can also buy them all as premixed bottles from local Alko (Finnish alcoholic beverage retailer).
Fun fact: Big bag of chips was called Mega pussi (pussi = bag in finnish ) and they changed name :)
🤣
Salmiakki is actually ammonium chloride (NH4Cl).
Yes. The "salty" in salty liquorice doesn't refer to common table salt but to salmiak salt aka ammonium chloride. I think you can still buy it in pure form from pharmacies.
Thousands of butterflies died to produce that carton lolll
Did they die, or did someone milk them all and let them go? 😅

Finland has the best candy in the world. Endless options of delicious treats in every grocery store.
Long drink is an alternative to beer, not as sweet as cider. It's an especially great refreshment on hot summer days. Originally developed for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics to help bartenders serve cocktails faster (basically, it's a premixed gin and grapefruit soda cocktail), it proved very popular, so they continued to produce it after the Olympics. Over the years, other flavors have been introduced, but the original flavor remains the most popular.
Dry cider has less sugar than the original long drink. I drink dry apple ciders and drinking original long drink feels like drinking soda pop.
Grapefruit is one of the two original flavors, the other one is Brandy, which is better in my opinion. The best flavor is cranberry.
Long drink aka Lonkero was invented for the Helsinki Olympic games
"Panda lakupala" is also unsalted liquorice and you can get it with different flavours in them such as strawberry or coffee ☕
It just makes me smile you enjoying Salmiakki ice cream. 😂 I love it so much. ❤
Lonkero is catnip for Finns 😂
When we hear the tsshhhh of the can opening and smell the grapefruit, we are compelled to approach
@@opaliittiopa Good old betonivesi
buy koskenkorva spirit (or any other vodka) and put these 19:07 Tyrkisk Peber in the bottle and shake till the candys break (or break the candy before and then put them in the bottle), or you can put them in the bottle and wait till they melt. very original finnish drink, trust me
Usually salmiakki is something tourists either absolutely despise or will love forever. The first option is, form what I've seen, more common. I'm happy you seem to like it!
13:40 You actually got it spot on, my grandma would never have any sodas around and my grandpa would scoff at me drinking coca cola and would always remark that I should drink Piimä instead! 😂
your grandma is wise and based xD
That first salmiakki is for babies. Are you guys going to sauna and swim? You should also try those mustards, hope you can fry a sausage on an open fire and try the mustards. Don't leave! I want to see more of your videos, they are so fun!
It's great to see other people appreciate the superiority of salmiakki ice cream :D
"Pantteri" (panther) candies are great for beginners (and great with beer). Soft-ish liquorice candies with just slight twist of "salmiakki" and sugar coating. These are from 1961, and in my own personal bubble, they are the best overall combination of texture, chewiness and flavor.
Salmiakki is a salt formed by hydrochloric acid and ammonia, and as a salt it isn't recommended for those with high blood pressure. Liquorice apparently is even stronger in that sense. High blood pressure = no black candy, at least not often and in moderation.
I'm glad you enjoyed the "butterfly milk" 😁. I was among the people to recommend that. That's a fairly old school, traditional drink. Usually a staple option in everyday lunch buffets, among with milk and oat milk. Good for your stomach, and you indeed also get some calcium, and vitamin D which is added to milk based drinks here due to lack of sun around the year. There's also a traditional cake made out of that ('piimäkakku' = piimä cake). With sugar in the batter, it's a sweet and moist cake with a hint of piimä flavor. My grandmother used to often make that one. Piimä is also typically used as the liquid in the dough/batter for that sweet rye bread ('saaristolaisleipä') Ivana tried at Konstan Möljä and with the salmon soup.
For my taste mämmi as is / without toppings is a bit too strong and one dimensional. But if you add some sugar on top and some cream on the side, it's a nice blend. My preferred way to eat it.
Lätkäliiga was a nice find for a hockey guy. 'Lätkä' is slang for 'ice hockey'. Very much a classic candy. The wrappers feature the logos of various Liiga teams.
Oh, one more thing. If you want the most hardcore of salty liquorice candies, go to a store called 'Normal' (one is e.g. located in the Citycenter shopping mall across the road to the railway station) and pick up a bag of 'djungelvrål'. 😃 Next level to anything you tried here. Just had some a few days ago myself!
Salmiakki (ammonium chloride) is a type of salt that is used in salmiakki candies (liquorice flavoured with salmiak salt) aka. salty liquorice/salmiak liquorice. 👌🏻
Ps. There is also salty salmiakki (salmiak liquorice flavoured with table salt) if the saltiness is not enough. 😂
Yea the salty salmiakki is almost too salty even for a finn! 😂
Drinking some "butterfly milk" while watching this😂
I think Steve has already earned the honorary citizenship of Finland 🇫🇮😉 Enjoy your time here!
I love it when you try Tyrkisk Pepper and you didn’t expect black liquorice and BOOM it’s black liquorice. It’s everywhere.
I always drink piimä when i'm in Finland. Mämmi is a kind of malted, sweetened ryeporridge often eaten with sugar and milk or cream. It's seasonal, eaten during Easter.
The thing with salmiakki is that first it's salty and then your saliva kicks in and it gets sweet(er).
Salmiakki itself is just ammonium chloride (ammonium salt, sal ammoniac), but it pairs really well with liquorice, which is extract from the root of the liquorice plant. Like the word liquorice, the word salmiakki describes both the candy and the main ingredient.
I’ve never seen anyone eat mämmi with piimä before 😂
It's satisfying to finally see foreigners apprisiate Salmiakki/Licorice a little bit 👍😁😁🤗
as a Finnish i think that eating candy is not only for tasting sweet candies all the time, sometime you want to have experience with taste extremes and feel reactions to stuff, so you buy bag of mix of all kind of stuff and try different combinations of candies and see what happen !
You REALLY should try Fazer Mignon Eggs, they only sell them during Easter time. It's the second oldest Fazer product (from 1896). The oldest one is Pihlaja marmelade (1895).
those have a real eggshell. Handcrafted with chocolade.
The actual "butterfly" buttermilk is the one that has a blue butterfly. Piimä is very good to your stomach that's why doctors in Finland drink piimä.
Good Lord cracked up when you had Mämmi with Piimä 😂
It’s actually pretty ok with a lot of cream & sugar
Salmiakki powder inside of Tyrkisk peber ("Turkin pippuri" in Finnish) is so good. You can get salmiakki powder on its own as well. Most famous one is "Hockey pulveri" (hockey powder). The packaging is like a hockey puck and inside of it is just salmiakki powder. Usually you eat it on its own or you mix it with vodka. Tyrkisk Pebers are also good when you mix it in vodka 😅
Salmiakki is a dangerous candy. You'll most likely have to develop a taste for it, but then you'll never want to eat candy without it. It's a perfect combo with sweet candy, and you'll always miss it if you've got the taste.
Mämmi is basically rye pudding.
Edit: Usually eaten with cream or vanilla sauce.
Aaand lot's of sugar on top of it! 😅😂
and only really in easter times
Mämmi and Piimä usually are, you like it or you hate it.
And actually dipping mämmi to piimä is something my grandpa used to do. :D (normally you pour vanilla sauce on it)
Refreshing to see someone actually loving the salmiakki ice cream instead of spitting it out. That one is my favorite ice cream! I love the candies as well but I understand if they are a bit too much lol
What i do with the rye chips is i make a dip with creime fraiche, chopped shrimps, onions and herbs to make a toast skagen style paste, but i dunk the chips in it. Great if you have friends over or something.
That hockey candy is such a classic.
If you add few teaspoon lingonberry jam for that piimä and stir it well it will be really delicious.
When you go to Nokia Arena, you guys should try Musta makkara (Black Sausage) wich is Tampere speciality. Pretty good, again black food. Blood sausage with lingonberry jam.
Mämmi, malted rye, is best with vanilla sauce or cream with lots of sugar. You are seeing a lot of it now because it is traditionally eaten at Easter time.
"Butterfly milk, the gift that keeps on giving". Surely.
Your reaction to the ice cream made me smile real big 😄❤️ also the liquorice chocolate bar, that was nice too. I'm glad fazer got the recognition it deserves. piimä and chocolate together was really funny 😂 that's a weird combo. When it was mämmi's turn you reacted like it was the oddest thing you have eaten 😂 lol maybe it is.
What a fun reaction video 😂🎉
Gin Long Drink is a pretty old drink. It was made for the foreign tourists of Helsinki Summer Olympics 1952. And it has become a hit since then.
Love this! Greetings from - Rovaniemi, Finland
As an add-on, liquorice and salmiakki are not the same thing...Salmiakki is liquorice with up to 8% ammonium chloride added.
" That one would wake up your dead grandmother!" Really cracked me up! 😂😂😂
You missed candy called "Hopeatoffee" (silver red and black stripes in the bag). It's like mixture of salted liquorice and fudge.
Another well known candy is called "Noitapilli" which is very salty filled black liquirice. I like it a lot but the taste is quite strong.
Mämmi is essentially beer pudding with rye and malt.
I have to say, I never thought about mixing Mämmi with sour milk, but it might not be too bad of a replacement for cream. :D
Seeing someone call lätkäliiga candy "strong" is mind boggling to me 🤣
I was thinking the same thing. To me it is one of the milder ones. Or maybe I just remember the taste wrong. Haven't eaten in couple of years.
Mämmi is usually served with coffee cream and sugar, Määmi is very fiber rich so it will make your stomach work really well :D
Salmiakki is a licorice sweet flavored with ammonium chloride. It is mostly eaten in the Nordic countries, Germany and the Netherlands. It was sold in pharmacies as a cough medicine for several decades and it was produced in Finland as sweets already in the 1930s. Even today, if your throat feels a bit sore in the winter, sucking on the salmiakki in your mouth relieves it. People either like it or they don't. Finnish children usually learn to like the taste from an early age.
respect that you gave salmiakki a real change. usually foreigners just spit it right away
You commented on that Salmiakki ice cream (my favourite
The salt in Salmiakki is Ammonium Chloride, not Sodium Chloride like normal table salt, same stuff you'd use in cleaning your soldering rod on and yes, if you have a clean ammonium chloride block for soldering, you can just eat it.
The thing is, Salmiakki does not really have anything to do with liquorice - it is just commonly put into liquirice. It actually is an ammonia salt (ammonium chloride). It's a very strong tasting pure white powder.
This was fun to watch! 😂
I wish you tried Turkish Pepper the real one (the black one). We used to melt them on a stove and mix it with Koskenkorva (vodka type clear alcohol). It used to be THE thing :D Also if you google "possumunkki" with apple sauce, they are really good. Usually from every grocery store. "Sima" drink we drink during the first of May, would be interesting to see what you think about it. Most of us love it. Cookies of course like "Fazer Domino", "Fazer Jaffa" are classic.
Never have i seen People trying out our buttermilk. You got some finnish tastebuds! 😂 Great video
My go-to breakfast for a long time has been a 50/50 mix of piimä and mehukeitto (sweet fruit/berry soup). It turns into this sweet and sour yogurt like drink
Hoo boy, never seen piimä and mämmi mixed together. Your reaction was milder than what I would've assumed.
You guys must try something with tar. For example Leijona Tervalakritsi candy. Their unique, tar-infused flavour have been loved by Finns since 1933.
If you go back to Sweden, you must try a candy named Djungelvrål. You can by it in any sypermarket or gasstation.
It would be fun to see you react to a salty licorice. Most Swedes had that as kids and then it was strong, now it's kind of mild I think..
That sour milk, or Piimä is really good when combined with rye bread. Also yes, it is good for your stomach, even more so than yoghurts. There are even variants with added gut bacteria to enhance that effect even more. I always have a cup of Piimä at the end of meals to soothe my tummy and it actually works.
It's also really good if you eat some really hot chili as the fat in it is pretty effective in washing the capscaisin of the chili off.
You should use Sourmilk with Cornflakes and a teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on.
Or just sourmilk with some sugar sprinkled on and eat with a spoon. (or add some fruits like banan slices)
I really enjoy and like your videos.
Love how real you are.
No bullshit.
I'm Finnish and never liked mämmi.
To be honest I think people from age 05 to 40 maybe like 05 to 10 prosent like mämmi.
Keep up the good work and thank you 🙂🫡
Ah yes, the mandatory finnish snacks taste test video. I’m of the mind that we have probably the best candy and chocolate selection in the world based on my travels (and you didn’t even have some of my personal favorites. Panda Pepe xxl is a perfect candy bar imo). A lot of it is definitely acquired taste such as salmiakki.
Salmiakki is actually ammonium chloride. We used to make it in our chemistry class in junior high. The actual salmiakki candy is liquorice seasoned with ammonium chloride
Mämmi is popular across Finland, particularly in the southern and western regions. Typically enjoyed around Easter with cream. It's known for its dark color and sweet, slightly bitter flavor.
Salmiakki is NH4Cl, ammonium chloride. I think that in Finland we use more of this in candy than any other. You can make pure Salmiakki if you have strong Ammonia NH3 (base) and Hydrochloric acid HCl. Those create volatile gases and you can mix those together and after chemical reaction you get white powder which is pure salmiakki. That has salty taste.
Mämmi with cream and sugar is delicious. Usually sells out in Sweden when I want it at easter so I bought one early this year and froze it for easter.
That grandma's piimä description by Steve was so accurate
After seeing all of these treats... I got to go get some snacks tomorrow!
Salty liquorice really goes well with mellow vanilla in ice creams, so I'm happy you guys loved it!
And those Turkish Pepper / Tyrkisk Peber candies are perfect to just let melt in your mouth when working on something / traveling.
Glad the Finland trip is going well! Good stuff! 👏
32:42 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 mämmi most definitely needs either milk or cream and sugar..
Almost literally, nobody in Finland eats it like that.. 😀😀😀.
Really good travel videos! Regards Ilkka from Finland Tampere.
One thing with salmiakki that i haven't notice with any other type of candy: If you ever have eaten salmiakki, now think of it and notice how it opens a fountain of saliva under your tongue.
Scandinavians like their licorice, and, they like it strong & salty!
finland not in scandinavia
@@o0131 Not geographically, but culturally Finland is part of Scandinavia. In that sense it is not incorrect to mention Finland as a Scandinavian country.
I use term Nordic, but I don't really mind calling Finland as a Scandinavian country.
Someone should have told you to buy dip powder and kermaviili! Dipping chips in different flavored dips (not tomato-based like with tortilla chips) is such a Finnish thing. It's kinda like a sour cream dip but a bit different.
AB-piimä is basically like nectar from the gods when you're hungover.
32:20 You usually have some sweet vanilla sauce with Mämmi 😁 Or even milk with sugar. That's made from rye like the chips you liked 😀
Great video. I wish you tried the regular tyrkisk pepper (turkinpippuri) aka three flame one which is blue. Buying one is a treat and it is probably the most bought one. Maybe a part 2 could be possible :D? Have a nice stay in Finland
