What are those little hard licorice candies you get in Holland called, in Dutch? Not the Allsorts he mentioned, but called something else?
Also the European dark chocolate is of a much better quality.

I know what you are talking about, but I forget the name as well. They are a strange flavor, since they are salty too.

It's called salmiak (salmiakki in Finland).

The ammonium chloride that Linus writes about is the salt that gives the taste to these candies. Like someone else in the comments there, I have to advocate another Finnish spice: tar.
