"People first noticed the unusual fur patterns ... in three cats in central Finland in 2007. In 2019, researchers at the University of Helsinki reached out to Anderson, a specialist in feline genetics, after learning about another “Finnish mutation” cat.
...
When DNA testing on the cats turned out to be negative for all the gene variants already known to affect white colouring in cat coats, the researchers decided to dig deeper."

Breaking #Caturday news -- new cat type drops.

The salmiak cat is named for a popular type of Finnish licorice, and gets its unusual coloring from a deletion in the KIT gene. As one would expect.

Enjoying this hardcore salmiak candy right now. Finally found this at the drugstore. I could never find it in the supermarkets, plenty of other licorice and salmiak there but not this one.

A German buddy calls this 'sweetened asphalt'. Pfft. His tastebuds obviously need correcting.

Gibt es einen sechsten Grundgeschmack?

Süß, sauer, salzig, bitter und umami sind die bekannten fünf Geschmacksdimensionen. Nun vermuten Fachleute die Existenz einer sechsten: Hat der Mensch einen Sinn für Salzlakritz?

Italiensk maräng med salmiak!
Tillverkades här för några år sedan.
Hade helt glömt bort, men fb:s minnen påminde mig i dag.

De bakre är för övrigt italienska marängknappar med nutella emellan.
Liiiite väl för sött, minns jag.

Men salmiakmarängen! Hmmm! 😻
