Oh yeah. We have that too: "Zoute drop" (Salted licorice), or even "Dubbelzoute drop" (Salted licorice... with twice the amount of salt). That's not fun. We also have sweet and salt popcorn, and the salty one is gross to the max.
The one thing I remember from Denmark is mayonaise. I'll never forget that.
"I'd like some French fries with mayonaise."
So, I get exactly that. When I started eating, I thought I'd die right on the spot. I told my host: "I think this mayonaise is over the hill." She tasted it, and thought it was perfectly fine.
Now, take half a glass of Dutch/Belgian mayonnaise. Fill up the other half with vinegar. Stir and blend... and then you have Danish mayonnaise. And I'm not even talking about the wagon load of salt that was on the fries as well. Yech.
There was so much of the stuff (mayonnaise and salt) on the French fries that half the dish was empty when I took off the mayonnaise, so I ended up throwing everything away and ordering a new portion without anything, insisting that I put the salt on it myself, and having some ketchup in a separate dish just to make sure.
Normally I'm not a fussy eater (except for organ meat, such as liver and brain I basically eat everything), but that wasn't a fun experience over there.
