minus-squarenocturne@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·1 month agoI doubt many people how ammonium chloride tastes, whereas I think most do know what both salt and licorice taste like.
minus-squareBorgDrone@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down6·1 month agoBut it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?
minus-squareunsettlinglymoist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-21 month agoSalmiak is not popular worldwide. I love salmiak, but almost no one I mention it to is familiar with it.

minus-squareBorgDrone@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 month agoNo. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.
