salty licorice
Ammonium chloride confection
Salty licorice is a confection popular in Nordic countries and the Netherlands, flavored with ammonium chloride (sal ammoniac) rather than ordinary salt.
The taste is intensely sharp and slightly astringent—an acquired taste that divides people strongly.
Those who grow up with it often crave it; others find it startling or unpleasant: I tried salty licorice in Finland and couldn't finish the piece.
