Cats with the unusual coat – known as ‘salmiak cats’ (which translates as ‘salty liquorice’)

A better translation would be ‘ammonium chloride’, because that’s what salmiak is.

I doubt many people how ammonium chloride tastes, whereas I think most do know what both salt and licorice taste like.

But it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?

Salmiak is not popular worldwide. I love salmiak, but almost no one I mention it to is familiar with it.
