Negro Odzacar Grla

2 of 3 of the photo-only series. Part of the goodies A brought back from home. (Sorry it doesn't look too delicious...)

What a name! Since I haven't tried any, I can only rely on the online community for info. And here's what I found.

• NEGRO ODZACAR GRLA: Do you know how fucking heavy this “black licorice chimney sweeper for your throat” is? In WWII the Nazis set up a puppet regime in Croatia called the Ustashas and their job was to kill every Serb, Jew and Gypsy they saw. Today calling a Croatian an Ustasha is like calling him a nigger. Then there’s this Serbian candy that’s been around since WWII, called Negro! With a guy on it that is dressed exactly like an Ustasha. What the fuck!?
• Our first candy treat is (hopefully) going to be the most politically incorrect one. Apparently Yugoslavian in origin, it has apparently been used as a prank candy for Halloween, due to the culturally inflamitory name stamped in big red capital letters on the side...

So it seems to be some sort of strong licorice candy with a weird name...
