Napoloean Zwart Wit Kogel sweets - I almost threw up!

Anybody tried these? Dutch sweets which apparantly contain Salmiak which is a salty liquorice according to wikipedia.

Absolutely foul, isn't it amazing what some cultures find palatable and others find disgusting..!

Tastes like an ejaculation in a hard outer shell...I would imagine

I suppose what made these sweets worse is that they don't tase too bad until the outer shell dissolves and you get this shot of foul tasting liquid in your mouth lol. Particularly horrible if you weren't expecting it either..

As Gilly says though in general surely you develop your palate based upon the tastes and textures you are exposed to as you grow up. That's not to say that it can't be developed or appreciated by people from other cultures as well of course..

PapaLazuru, I did say I imagagined it would taste like ejaculate That vodka sounds interesting but based on my experience of it so far I think I'd still give it a miss lol
