It really *is* pink.

I'm going to have to do a salt tasting very soon :-)

My daughter loves salt. We have had pink salt from the Himalayan
region for many years now.

Pretty! :-) Do look up Himalayan pink salt tho'. I've seen that at the
store here but have not tried it yet. It's even pinker! Only comes in
rock salt form tho' so it'd have to go into a salt grinder.

It's deep enough pink at times to resemble rose quartz!

Here is something I ran across in google that I'd never considered.
Using salt slabs for serving?

How do you like it Jean? I can get it in the bulk section at the
grocery store and have been considering getting some. :-) I'll have to
purchase a salt grinder, but that's ok.

I use that salt a lot.

Holy cow! You'd have to take a sledge hammer to that stuff before
putting it in a salt grinder. I've seen pink salt in much smaller
crystals. I'm not into finishing salts, so at this point I don't
remember if it was large enough to grind or smaller crystals.

The local stuff at the grocery store in the bulk section is small enough
crystals to put into a grinder. About the same size as regular rock
salt.

Another facinating concept to consider before indulging in unrefined
salts is to consult a medical doctor... "sea salt" is unrefined so
typically contains many of the elements/polutants that can be harmful,
such as heavy metals and compounds that negatively interfere with our
bodily functions and interact with Rx and OTC drugs in detrimental
ways. A lot of effort goes into bringing pure salt to our tables and
at a very affordable price... instead to choose filthy dirty
contaminated salt, and at 10X the cost, is the height of
pinheadedness.

Each spring before I send my car through the car wash you can have
first dibs at licking the road salt off the under carriage, no charge!
hehe

My water softener uses about fifty pounds of salt each month, you can
also have all those gallons of salty grey water that exit at my creek,
if you can get to that salt lick before the deer and other critters...
now that is reasonably clean salt.

I could never understand why anyone would pay good moneyfor
contaminated salt just because they think it's exotic sea salt... the
only thing exotic about it is all the used condoms, tampons, and turds
that were picked off before it was packaged... not to mention all the
lead, mercury, and cadmium it contains that can't be so easily picked
off.

Sorry folks, but the closest back to nature salt I want is Diamond
Crystal Kosher.

My daughter likes it, although I don't know that she's done a
formal ranking of the various salts she has consumed. I am not
that into different salts.

Ahhhhhhh. I have had this thought for many years. Just think of
all the crap (could literally be crap too) that is in that salt.

You should have stopped there, Sheldon At any rate, I agree with him.
Exotic 'sea salt' is just silly and a waste of money. IMHO.

I've seen the stuff being made by evaporation on mud flats in Hawaii and
I'm sure it will have some extra taste over pure salt. As Sam Goldwyn
(or was it some anonymous Irishman?) said, " Include me out".

Sometimes people ask why you have to change the water in an aquarium.
It's because there's no bathroom in there.

I first saw it on TV on Iron Chef. I wondered how they kept the food
from getting overwhelmed by the salt. I guess being solid it does not
dissolve as easily - Just like flavor or salami slices disolution rates
should go by surface area.

I know that cucumbers and radishes repeat. I know that beans and
cabbage repeat, but not quite in the same way. Please don't post any

Hmmm... I wonder.
I've been tossing around the idea of smoking some cheese. I wonder how
mesquite smoked salt would work in recipes? Or Pecan when I can get it.

Oh they sell them here locally so I won't have any problems. :-)

Would you smoke the cheese through cold smoking or hot smoking? Sounds

Hot smoking - Melt the cheese and mix in drops of liquid smoke.

Does that include Fleur de Sel? Is this salt is as good as they
suggest it is?

Check out this page and scroll down and look at all the products

Check out these five pages of various salts. I am tempted to get the
Moroccan salt:
