Tried some cured salmon but unfortunately never got a chance to try the fermented shark. They also have an obsession with black licorice, including putting very harsh tasting black licorice powder on some of the candy. We all thought it was disgusting but apparently it’s really popular in Nordic countries.

Cloud Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Decent breeze out there... for about 30 minutes SEA recorded some good sustainable gusts. 52,46, 45, 53, 37, 37, 54 between 8:25 and 8:40. About an hour before that: 36, 41, 38, 38, 44, 37, 31. It was quite gusty at home as well, rocked the house and woke me up at about 7AM.

MR.SNOWMIZER Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 The last 2 weeks have been perfect examples of the hood canal cold air pooling, there doesn't have to be snow.

Yes, really, they often put ammonium chloride (sal ammoniac) in it as well as normal table salt. It reacts with your saliva to make ammonia water.
