The "salt coating" is ammonium chloride = salmiak. So it's not table salt (which we call natriumklorid).

Djungelvrål is bloody delicious, It shouldn´t be good but my god is it delicious. xD

[@sungod86]

Some thoughts as a Swede: 1) Trocadero is described as a "fruit champagne fizzy drink" here in Sweden. We've other similar brands but Trocadero is the most iconic. The most popular fizzy drink in Northern Sweden. 2) Delicato is the brand name and the pastry is called chocolate ball (chokladboll). But the brand has become so much associated with the pastry that is referred to as a "Delicatoboll". 3) Djungelvrål (Jungle Roars) is definitely an acquired taste and might be one of those foods/sweets you have to be exposed early on to as a kid (Swede eat a lot of liquorice), to enjoy. Personally I do enjoy them but only in small amounts. Very good accompanied with a glass of milk, like most salty liquorice.

[@MaverickBaking]

Thank you for all the info! I can see how the liquorice would pair well with a glass of milk actually, even if it wasn't to our taste!

[@lothariobazaroff3333]

The name of Trocadero drinks is supposed to be associated with Place du Trocadéro in Paris (named in honour of the Battle of Trocadero) and not directly with the Spanish island.

[@michaeltempsch5282]

That your tongues might not have experienced it before is because the salt covering isn't the normal "table" salt, ie sodium chloride, but salmiak (from Sal ammonia, salt of mmonia), ie ammonium chloride (made by reacting ammonia and hydrochloric acid)

[@ge_mig_nat_som_kanns]

Mmmmno. Not with milk.

[@brittcarlsson8609]

Trocadero was established in 1953, hence the old fashion look.

[@solobikerman]

Thats not normal salt on the djungelvrål,it is Ammonium chloride AKA Salmiak..It is used as fertilizer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_chloride .And i love it!!!!!

[@MaverickBaking]

Mm even better, haha!

[@michaeltempsch5282]

Other uses: smoke in pyro effects (heated it breaks down to ammonia and hydrochloric acid. As the vapors cool down they recombine into very small white particles of salmiak suspended in the air. (Probably not too fun to inhale...) As flux in soldering. A component in the glue commonly used in plywood. In some cough syrups.

[@randomgeocacher]

The ingredients of salmiak are a bit crazy. We made it in chemistry but our chemistry teacher didn’t allow us to taste it. Most retarded experiment ever, make candy and not being allowed to taste it...

[@MrTigerlilly68]

He He, the Djungelvrål really had me laugh... It was my absolute favorite candy as a kid... The downside however was that the salt made your tounge and mouth feel raw... 😁 🌞

[@jeeriksson]

The cheez doodles actually taste better if you opens it a couple of hours before you taste it :)

[@incognitones5604]

Tutti-frutti is as you noticed, only one haste, but its a taste of several fruits combined. Not uncommon in Swedish snacks to combine different flavours to a New unique one. It's the same with Trocadero, it doesn't haste of apples and oranges, it tastes trocadero. Wether one like tutti-frutti flavoured things is of course a personal thing.

[@MaverickBaking]

Ahh that makes sense, nice and unique too I guess!

[@cloclo626]

Thanks both for this review as usual

[@MaverickBaking]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@kalin83]

the Dumle snack bar is made by Fazer wich is a Finnish company so not really Swedish. But it is still a company that sells alot of candy in Sweden. the Djunglevrål is not salted with regular table salt (natrium chloride) but with Salmiak (Amonum chloride ) which is often used in camdy in Sweden.

[@MaverickBaking]

Ah interesting!

[@ykalon]

Dumle was originally made by the Swedish company Mazetti, Fazer bought them

[@torro729]

I want that drink.

[@BenBulks]

That intro was funny 😂

[@Bearodon]

Trocadero is a district in Paris, France so that might be why it sounds a bit like Italian.

The Duple snack thing was far and away my favourite thing in this months box. Although I hate aniseed and have been too scared to try the salted Djungelvral. I would like to challenge you to empty the whole box of those Tutti-frutti into your mouth and see how long it takes you to chew them. I tried it and am still trying to pick them out of my teeth a week later!

[@fredrikastrom4683]

I only like salty liqourice, the sweet one doesn't do anything for me. You can also buy salmiac tablets and only get the saltiness. You guys like salty crisps, so what is the difference? :)

[@swagaliciousyt1866]

From Sweden love winegums

[@bodan1196]

In Sweden there are two major producers of crisps/chips, and as it tends to happen where there are two, people are divided into "haters", "lovers" with a majority of "mehshruggers", (ie sensible people who doesn't mind either). Personally, when I intentionally bought "same falvour" chips from both to make a comparison, I found that I have a surprisingly strong preference for the chips from the other producer, the one not featured here. While their Cheezdoodles (OWL's) are quite nice, and I eat their Cheezballs with my entire hand, not just my fingers, I have come to love the lentil based ones, but again from the other producer. So I must confess, that I am not a "mehshrugger" when it comes to the choice of chips/crisps and similar snacks from these two producers.

[@274727]

Fazer Dumle and Tutti Frutti is a Finnish brand. 😛

[@jeeriksson]

Trocadero must be serve cold, important!!! It has a taste that you have to grow on you...

[@janpettersen8923]

I think we need a bit of translation for you guys. Djungelvrål which is an ammoniac licorice translates into Jungle scream which wasn't too far from the look on your faces.

[@MaverickBaking]

Ooh interesting, doesn't sound particularly delicious haha!

[@NouraElKhadri]

OMG it’s Francesco from Avo and Pasta in Aberdeen! :o Happy this was in my recommended videos section! Fun watching you two try some things from Sweden! :D Personally I wish Djungelvrål would be consistently salty. I find it sort of boring once the salt is gone :/

As a Swede we eat the djungelvrål a handfull at the time and we lick the inside of the bag for the rest of the ”salt” Nowadays I don’t even think they taste salty, but that might be because we have something called Svenskjävlar (swedish mf) that is like djungelvrål on steroids times ten.

According to the manufacturer the only difference between the colours are flavourless dyes.

[@herrbonk3635]

@@janpersson9818 Wikpedia says that, for some reason, despite "aromas" in plural listed on the bag. According to the actual manufacturer, it's a secret whether they are the same or not. They *are* different though, which is very evident if you just *taste* and compare them... especially so between the very minty white and the totally non minty red. I have actually seen a couple of blind tests on this (as some people do have weak taste buds/smell and argue they must be the same). One with my friends in the 1990s, where two people out of three were 100% correct. Just one miss (white/green) out of 9+9+9 trials, as I remember it. Another blindfold test was on TV5 with Josefine Crafoord. She also got it 100% correct, although on fewer trials than we did.

[@janpersson9818]

@@herrbonk3635 The "actual" manufacturer is Cloetta. They say they will let the customers decide for themselves about the flavours but according to "Livsmedelsverket", the Swedish agency responsible for food, the ingredients are 100% identical apart from "Karbinsyra" and "klorofyllinkopparkomplex" which are two flavourless dyes. Are there other things that might differentiate them, like smell perhaps?

[@herrbonk3635]

@@janpersson9818 Livsmedelsverket would never make a statement about the detailed difference between the candy in a bag like that, unless perhaps there was some kind of alarm about toxic ingredients or similar. Yes, I just told you it was up to the buyer, only in other words. Whether Ahlgrens is currently own by Leaf or Cloetta or whatether is also pretty irrelevant.

Hi Maverick Baking ! Salt licorice contains about 70 grams of ammonia per kilogram. According to an EU proposal presented in the spring of 2012, the maximum limit for salmiak in food would be lowered to 3 grams per kilo, which would mean a ban on salt licorice. Food companies, confectionery manufacturers and industry organizations in the Nordic countries have protested against the proposal and in the autumn of 2012 an exception was introduced for salt licorice. Salt licorice will therefore be allowed to remain. Wikipedia. There are studies in animals that show that the substance glycyrrhizinic acid found in licorice can have anticarcinogenic effects, ie cancer prevention properties. According to many connoisseurs, the world's best licorice comes from Calabria in Italy. Sincerely T.
