It's a little strange the subtitle used is "Salmiakki". That's the Finnish term for salty liquorice but that section discusses it in general terms, not from a Finnish perspective. It just so happened that the version he tried was salmiakki from Finland.
Yes that threw me off at first as well. When I lived in Denmark I was used to the candy and recognized the picture immediately but I haven't heard it called that before.
Ah now I miss the proliferation of licorice in everything.
