Salt Licorice Ice Cream

In Finland, black licorice gets intensified with a hit of salty, stinging ammonium chloride. Tongue-numbing and herbal, the resulting candy is a popular treat. So popular, in fact, that summertime in Finland now means salt licorice ice cream.

Salt licorice ice cream comes in many forms: scoops, soft serve, and ice-cream bars. Fazer, a candy company, makes their ice cream bars in the same shape as their iconic salt licorice candy. While the sweet, salty ice cream itself is a deep gray, it's often covered in an inky-black coating.

Descriptive animal names

 

I changed the words a bit...

To the tune of "These are a Few of my Favorite Things."

Rap music blaring from big bass drum speakers,
Kids paying hundreds of dollars for sneakers.
Nine year olds covered with tattoos and bling,
These are a few of my least favorite things.

The Journal of Constant Belcher: Belcher the Baris...

My friend Tim Abbott (1st NJ) writes a humor blog about his personal discovery of a diary by a Revolutionary War Soldier named "Constant Belcher."

The blog is similar to Peter Schickle's "discovery" of PDQ Bach's music. 

Tim begins with some true history to set the stage, then segues into Pvt Belcher and his humorous diary entries. 

Enjoy enjoy
