I have been gone a while...Thought I came across the Joke/Humor thread for a bit....
Elaine1962...I agree with you about the little bit of salt and sugar once in a while. Even better if you pair them in a Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart!

When I was growing up there was 1 salt in the house...the Morton's..when it rains it pours...salt. We did not have a water softener and we did not salt our driveway in the winter. Oh, maybe once I saw Rock Salt when we were at a friends house and they made Ice Cream. What a treat that was!

OK so what do you think table salt is made of? Tables? Our table salt is certainly sea salt. I just checked the package - sea salt, anti-caking agent 554, potassium iodide.

Even with your edit, sea salt is not table salt.

Sea salt is not table salt.

We make table salt in salt pans just north of Adelaide by evaporating sea water, straight from Antarctica, probably cleaner than 'Celtic' off Brittany. You can buy it in different crystal sizes, plain or iodised, which we choose as our soil and its produce is low in iodine. It isn’t stripped of anything - I don't know how or why anyone would try. Salt is sodium chloride. I would imagine that most salt these days is evaporated from sea water, except the pink Himalayan variety evaporated from saline lakes. Salt mines are pretty rare now.

Just for interest, Himalayan salt was a brilliant marketing exercise that started a decade ago when the Nepalese government started providing cheap iodised salt. This was to counter the significant local goitre/ thyroid problem caused by iodine deficiency. The Nepalese salt merchants were desperate, hence the very clever marketing campaign. They probably learned how to do it from the Celtic/ French mob.

I live in the desert southwest and I don't eat processed food, so I need more salt for sure.

The problem is the garbage salt sold as table salt that has been stripped of its nutrients that is so widely used. Good salt is vital for our overall health.

I think having a little salt sparingly should be fine. Same goes for sugar.

Don't forget the grilled peaches, served with chicken, oh yeah!

Watermelon with flavored salt is all the rage. Smoked salt, merlot salt, charcoal salt. Any othe flavors you can think of.

Personally we enjoy Celtic sea salt the most.

NobodyGetsIt: LOL on the watermelon. Btw, I just sold my grill. That's true about animals, but I knew immediately that Ozzie has suffered a medical event. Good for you on the 2 trips to Alaska. We've always wanted to go there.

Tonight it was cheeseburgers. I seasoned them with kosher salt and fresh ground peppercorns and broiled them. My husband had provolone cheese and I had cheddar on onion buns with sandwich spread - it's a little similar to the special sauce on a Big Mac along with thinly sliced roma tomatoes. My husband is very particular about the buns, so I always wrap them in a slightly damp napkin and warm them in the microwave so they will be nice and soft. We had pork and beans which I like to add a little ketchup and dry mustard to spruce them up a bit, pringles potato chips, bread and butter pickle chips, sliced red peppers and watermelon. Only thing missing was dessert - we're all out but, I will be having a piece of dark chocolate with whipped cream on top to satisfy my sweet tooth!

@ "Llamalover47" - I finally got a chance to try the watermelon with salt. Unfortunately, I didn't have my reading glasses on so I didn't see that I put too much on. There was just one spot that had a hint of salt on it and it tasted better so I think I'll have to give it another whirl when I buy some more watermelon.
