Tyrkisk peber
Script error: No such module "Lang". (Danish for "Turkish pepper", often referred to as Script error: No such module "Lang". in Finnish, Script error: No such module "Lang". in German, Script error: No such module "Lang". in Norwegian and Script error: No such module "Lang". in Swedish) is a salty liquorice candy flavoured with salmiac (ammonium chloride), produced by the Finnish company Fazer and popular in Northern Europe. It was first launched in 1977 by the Danish company Perelly, but was acquired by Fazer in 1996.
The basic variant is a large, hollow, round shell both coated and filled with ammonium chloride powder. It is sold in dark blue, flame-decorated bags. The Script error: No such module "Lang". product family has later expanded to include the "Hot & Sour" (a milder variant of the traditional design, produced in four different flavours; Spicy Citrus, Pepper Liquorice, Chilli Melon and Strawberry Surprise) and "Bonfire" (soft, much milder candies) bagged variants, as well as lollipops and filled liquorice. There has also been a chili-flavoured version and a strongly licorice-flavoured version with less of the ammonium chloride and peppercorn flavouring, but these have since been discontinued. However, the licorice-flavoured variant can still be found as one of the flavours in the "Hot & Sour" bags. In Northern Europe there are competing different versions of salmiac-based candy, including Script error: No such module "Lang". (frog shaped candies), Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang"..
Script error: No such module "Lang"., alongside products like Super Salmiakki and Pantteri, is rated as spicy as hot sauce and measured with a flaming-star rating system.[1] In February 2024 it was reported one of the products had a Scoville scale of 900,000.[2]
Script error: No such module "Lang". is used to make the Finnish candy shot Salmiakki Koskenkorva and in similar Scandinavian drinks. When Perelly manufactured Script error: No such module "Lang"., it was also available as powder which was often used to make a drink known in Denmark as Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang"., hot shot or Script error: No such module "Lang"., in Sweden as Script error: No such module "Lang"., and in Norway as Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang"..
Script error: No such module "Lang". is hygroscopic, and if left in an unsealed bag it will absorb water from the air and stick together after a few days.
