Flavor Conversion

There needs to be a Swedish to English flavor dictionary.

I had to look up a word used that sounded like some sort of fish (SALIVIK or something like that) that really meant "a salty black licorish that emits amonium choride".

I don't know about the amonium choride part but I've had licorish before.

It must be a whole other World up there in the North.

I wish the online sites would explain the flavors a little more. I don't think I would order something that sounded like it was FISH flavored.

That would be salmiak (sal ammoniac)

Throw some words in and I'll see about providing explanations.

We are a dark people, we are.

When you're dealing with a foreign product, this is just something you're going to have to do from time to time. I definitely get where you're coming from as I had to look up a few flavor names myself.

but it's just like liquors or other imported products, that for whatever reason there is no domestic equivelant. embrace the strangeness, be happy that your can will have letters and flavors from what seems like another planet.

By the way, if you were ever curious about the various food additives in snus and elsewhere listed only by their E number, this is a great site to learn what you're sticking in your body:

What does salted licorice taste like? 0.o I'm all for black licorice, but salting it seems strange to me. Guess it's a Scandinavian thing?

try the LD Salmiak, its the best licorice snus available, great for a change of pace from regular snus flavors, longlasting flavor, very natural. Seems to be a fav among all licorice people here, really dont notice the salt if you've been snusing for a while, just a great licorice flavor.
