Can you guys taste iodine in salt? Either as an ingredient in food or
cooking water, or just by dipping your finger in it and tasting it? I
can't. But evidently my 13 year-old son can. I made some pasta for him
the other day and used regular old Morton's Iodized salt in the cooking
water instead of the non-iodized kosher salt he usually uses. After the
first bite he asked if we were out of kosher salt (he eats his pasta
with butter and salt only).
