Food: Salt taken from 'human tears' is no crying matter
Tim Walker

A London store is flogging a new range of gourmet salts, extracted from
human tears. The salts -- available in tear-based flavours including
Anger, Sorrow, Laughter, Chopping Onions or Sneezing -- are being sold
at the Hoxton Street Monster Supplies store in east London, part of the
Ministry of Stories creative writing centre for children aged eight to
18, whose founders include the author Nick Hornby.

The salt is real, and costs £7 per jar. The tears, as you may have
guessed, are fictional. Such is the pitch that foodie culture has
reached, however, that the concept is almost plausible.
