I ordered from the Nordic House. Got some Super Piratos, Salt Bombers & some doiuble salted. Got some other “normal” candy too (I guess I exaggerated a bit when I said it was all salty licorice 🙂 )

Can’t wait to compare the Danish version with the Dutch version.

One taste of a Super Pirato is all it takes **Yooks**. Prepare to be addicted, it’s all over except for the gnashing and wailing.

I still strongly recommend the Haribo “Salt Pastilles”, they are an all time classic. Also look for their “Salminger” pastilles too, they’re great!

Fazer (Finland) also makes a wonderful “Salmiak”, plus their newly reformulated “Tyrkisk Peber” (Turkish Pepper) pastilles are very habit forming.

In fact, I’m going to go and start a licorice thread right now! Care to join me?

**Prosser** , You’ve definitely captured one of the secrets to cooking great steak rare or medium rare:

When I’m marinating my steaks (usually t-bone), I put them on the stove top while I’m warming the broiler and the pan on which I’ll be broiling the steaks. It makes a big difference.

Oh, and crunchy steak? Ewwww.

I usually have well done steak… Dad always does it like that on the barbeque nice and crispy black on the outside and nicely cooked on the inside (sometimes it is rare on the inside though and I’ll eat that…) I don’t usually go rare so I’m more medium to well done on steaks… medium rare for roasts I don’t mind and hamburgers for me must always be well done.

I never put on barbeque sauce before I try my stek… usually I just put some on the side and dip… my brother loves his ketchup and barbeque sauce though… as well as the hot sauce (my poor hobo potatoes get the ketchp treatment everytime from him… that annoys me so much they don’t need any sauce!)
