Weird tasting foods

I always thought salty liquorice was Swedish.
Family and friends there all like it and have brought it over from there.
Not a fan, personally.

We lived in Northern Australia when the DC were of school age, and the school tuck shop used to sell salty plums - my DD adored them; never been able to find the same thing anywhere else. Any that she's found don't taste right.

We had that drink in Lebanon, they put a big jug of it with glasses on the table when you order food. I love it but then as is proved by my original post I do like 'salty'.
Is very refreshing.

I absolutely love ayran, which is a salted yogurt drink you get in Turkey. It is an acquired taste though - a lot of people hate it, especially if they've bought it by accident, mistaking it for milk.
