They feel father gelatinous, but are apparently done without any. Cornstarch (something else originally, I bet), water, sugar and flavorings. All coated with sugar powder. Quite bad for one, I bet, as candy should be.

Alas, not me. Having to make study money as a securitu guard transatlantic flights are quite out of the question.
But I can help with the Salmiakki (I wonder what the international name is?).
Tell me what sort you liked, and give me your address. I'll happily send you a batch. What is the Gloranthan tribe for, eh? :)
