This has been on my bedstand for a good while now, got stalled when I was hit by COVID. (Wear a mask! It didn't got away, re-infection can cause long-term issues of increasing severity!)

It's about the national candy of Finland, salmiac, or salty liquorice. A lovely mix of history of different manufacturers and brands, with remembrances and "eating recipies" mixed in, all tied up by photographs of candy and packaging.

Fun and quirky, but also very obviously written >20 years ago when you look at the casual racism and sexism mixed in. Trace amounts, but it's there. Back then no-one batted an eye, and "ment nothing by it".
