Types
Different languages often refer to salty liquorice as either "salmiac liquorice" (such as salmiaklakrits in Swedish), or simply "salty liquorice". In addition to ammonium chloride, salty liquorice candies are sometimes flavoured with other strong flavours like table salt and pepper, as in the case of Tyrkisk Peber candies. In Germany there is a variety available that is silvered by a metal powder that, as a side effect, makes it electrically conductive. A common shape for salty liquorice candies is a black diamond-shaped lozenge. This diamond shape is so typical that in Finnish, the word "salmiakki" can sometimes refer to this shape instead of the candy.

—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
