the judaica of salt
Here's a fun game to play. Go to the grocery store and buy some kosher salt. (If you shop at Safeway or possibly Fred Meyer, like I often do, don't even bother looking in the spices aisle with the salts. You'll probably find it tucked in with "ethnic" foods, which I think is genius.) If you don't already have some iodized salt, get some. Steal one of those two-tube paper packets from McDonald's or something. Knock on a neighbor's door. Steal a salt shaker from your favorite restaurant (well, maybe not your favorite one). Now, put a pinch of the kosher salt in your hand and toss it back. Yeah, eat it plain. Taste that? That's salty, huh? Now repeat, a pinch in the hand, into the mouth, with the iodized salt.
