And of course, what you’re not seeing in the video (as it’s a solid 15 minutes after I tried these candies) is that my mouth is still on fire. These things pack some punch, much more than the hottest Tyrkisk Peber that I’ve tried so far. They’re fun, but certainly not fit for human consumption. Therefore, I must rate them caustic.
UPDATE: I shared some of the Synkka with my friends tonite. Unfortunately, I only realized it would have made a great video after it was too late. Suffice if to say, that their experience was quite a bit worse than mine; after spitting them out, they desperately tried to rid themselves of the heat with ice cubes. This will definitely make for a good social candy -- I'll try to capture some from some other
Rate them what?
ReplyDeleteCaustic of course! I updated the post to include the rating :-)
Deletehave you lost weight? is it thanks to salmiakki?
ReplyDelete"I can do hot."
ReplyDeleteObviously not. :o) Synkkä salmiakki is a delicious treat and certainly not too hot.
Your Sisu is weak, young apprentice.
Please could you use the umlaut when writing "ä" though. That's a similiar mistake to using v instead of w, or k instead of c in English, and it's a bugger. The US-international keyboard layout turns the right Alt into Alt-Gr which you can use to get all the special characters. The button on the left of the Enter key gives you ¨ so you can type üÿöäïë.
ReplyDeleteNope, word is synkkä so i write synkkä, thus there is no mistake except in your presumptions. :o)
DeleteIt is a Finnish word with no mistakes, check your premises.
Reiska: I believe he was responding to Alex, not to you. Alex incorrectly writes "synkka" without the umlaut :)
DeleteOh yeah! Three at a time was definitely a bad idea. Tried to show off a little, did you? But at least you tried, good stuff. And right on spot with the "social candy", that's what I do with these too! I offer one to everyone who visits me, some people refuse to try them but only one guy has spit out the candy :)
ReplyDeleteThe video embedded in this post consistently BSOD's my computer... >:( Flash FTL.
ReplyDeleteIt's Poppmamies Synkkä Salmiakki <3
ReplyDeleteThe brand (Poppamies) is the preferred brand for chili lovers in Finland so all products are really hot, they have chili-chocolate, sauces, chips etc
Poppamies is kind of similar as the American Blairs brand who makes chili products.
"Really light chili flavor," LOL...
ReplyDeletesynkkä = grim
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough their hard fruitcandy is much hotter than their salmiakki :)
