Sweden 🖤 Licorice: a thread

Here's a small Swedish lesson to help you follow along!

söt = sweet
salt = salt
salmiak = sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride)
hallon = raspberry

Here in Sweden, black licorice is a popular flavor! It comes in versions like sweet, salty, extra salty, and pure ammonium chloride. It's extremely divisive - most people either love or hate it.

It's a common ice cream flavor! #licoricethread

If you'd rather have your licorice ice cream on a stick, Sweden's definitely got you covered!

#licoricethread

Oh, is that not enough black licorice for you? Well, sprinkle some more on top!

#licoricethread

Obviously black licorice goes really well with chocolate, so... licorice chocolate it is!

#licoricethread

And don't forget baking with licorice! Flavors that pair well with black licorice in cakes and cookies are raspberry, lemon, and chocolate.

#licoricethread

A couple of black licorice things I've never actually tried myself but of course they exist: salty snacks like popcorn and chips!

#licoricethread

Also a bit more unusual, but why not? Licorice marmalade.

#licoricethread

And why not have your black licorice-flavored goodies with a licorice-flavored drink of your choice?

#licoricethread

Do you want your bag of black licorice candy sweet & salty, salty, or SUPER salty? (Yes that penguin-branded bag of licorice IS called "witch howl".)

#licoricethread

In conclusion: YAY LICORICE put it in everything!
