I recently moved to Finland, and briefly considered setting up an online shop to export Salmiakki to the UK, as lots of people there seem to love it and beg me to bring it when I returned.
I'm amused you're from Finland, but instead are importing Japanese candy! (In the end I decided I couldn't be bothered with the hassle. I just make sure every time I do return to the UK I pack my suitcase with 10-40 boxes of candy.)
What are the odds - we have a tiny bottle on our shelf that some visiting Finlanders gave use about five years ago!
Is... is Slamiakki still safe to drink after five years? There's a lot of weird looking condensation on the bottom. If we gently shake the bottle, it looks like something from X-Files is reaching out to drink us.
There's other liquorice liquor available throughout the world as well. A brand I know from The Netherlands is called "drop shot" [1] (drop is the Dutch word for liquorice).
It's likely to be a tricky one as there's a ton of competition on Amazon that sells not just Finnish salty licorice but from the rest of the Nordic countries and the Netherlands as well. They're overall expensive, but the selection is fairly wide.
We got rye bread here in The Netherlands. I was in Berlin a few weeks ago. German bread is amazing. So tasty. The jams I had were insane as well. Loads of fruit, sugar not so much. Again, very taste.
