Jim, Running the kitchen at Sidhaland started my cooking/food obsession. I've been running it hard ever since. Since I cook for Thai and Vietnamese friends, my table often resembles a scene from Fear Factor! Asians eat EVERYTHING. Thanks for the salt tip, I'll swing by Williams Sonoma and try it. I go in and out of interest in fancy salt. I enjoy the crunch factor and have some Ile de Re French grey salt. My fingers are calibrated for plain old kosher salt, so I can feel how much I need for a dish more reliably when I pick it up. But I am a sucker for new, odd foods so I'll check it out. I think Trader Joe's just stocked a red and a black salt from Hawaii. Sometimes I think it is just salt with dirt on it, and sometimes I think I can taste something. Weird black salt sounds like a good way to celebrate Halloween! There is a great book on the history of salt from one of my favorite food writers, Mark Kurlansky, Salt: A World History. http://www.amazon.com/Salt-World-History-Mark-Kurlansky/dp/0142001619
