"Salt is what makes things taste bad when it isn't in them." - Anonymous ![]() A Salt Box Is A Thneed that Everyone Needs: My good friend Genevieve turned me on to the simple joys of a salt box years ago and I am forever in her debt. I keep the one pictured above right next to my stove and I have to say it is one of the handiest additions I have ever made to my kitchen. I got the one above from Fantes, which unfortunately doesn't carry it any more, but the Japanese Pottery outfit Bee House makes a nice salt box with a wooden lid which you can get on line from Black Ink. http://www.blackinkboston.com/store/show/19-xxx1-bee-house-saltbox Special Bonus Rant: Good old NaCl Salt has gotten a bad rap these days with the home cook which has resulted in a lot of unnecessarily bland food. It is true that most folks have too much sodium in their diets, but it's probably not coming from salt added by the home cook. A B.K. Chicken Caesar Salad had 1600 grams of Sodium, that's nearly a teaspoon of table salt ! Processed foods are loaded with sodium, wanna lower your sodium ? Stop eating processed crap, but for gods sake, allow me to have a bit of salt on my eggs, Mrs. Dash my ass. |
