Licorice

[crunchy]

Does anybody know, if there is an outlet store for licorice (Panda or Fazer) somewhere in or around Porvoo or Helsinki?

And of course Brunberg in the town centre sells the stuff.

Fazer factory shop is in Vantaa.

I think you can also get a big bag for cheap from the Brunberg factory outlet store in Porvoo. Close to the Lidl.

I agree, though it's many years since we visited...

I only remember as I can't stand liquorice, so the only thing for me there were Alku... which aren't as good as Omar.

Omar... couldn't eat them for years after I was making them for a week or so... I remember that old worker who told me what to do: "Fetch 50kg of sugar!" "Peel those butter packets!" "All 50 of them?" "Yes!" And after the candies were made and were hard enough we used a machine to put wrappers on them that was probably older than that old worker was...

They are a bit sickly and aren't quite fudge, but are certainly better than the rock hard dry cubes that are passed off as fudge in the pick and mix at (Filmtown / Video makuuni / local fleapit) delete as applicable.
