【明報專訊】Every country has its own delicacies that its people hold dear to their hearts, but prove utterly incomprehensible to visitors. This applies to Taiwan's stinky tofu, Beijing's deep-fried scorpions, Peru's guinea pig, and to a much lesser extent on the surface, Scandinavia's salt liquorice candies. The "candy" looks like black current German gummies, molded into every shape from a British terrier to a 10 cent euro coin. For sure it doesn't look as inviting as its colourful counterparts, but one wouldn't expect it to taste shockingly different.
