I remember years ago my mom used to put salt in the coffee when she made it. I remember one time about forty years ago my parents were out so she decided to make coffee because her boyfriend at that time liked it. I think I had a cup too. Well, she put too much salt. I don't think my mom puts salt in there now. But in 2004 I went to a wedding which was held at a covenant congregational church where a lot of the people who attended were of Swedish descent. The bride got transportation for me and the lady whose husband drove me had to go into the kitchen so I went in there with her. The ladies were talking to me and they were making coffee, which smelled wonderful. One of the ladies told me that they put eggshells in with the coffee grounds and that it was a Swedish tradition. The coffee was wonderful.

Hi Marilyn, Yes, actually, it's a habit from the very north of Sweden. I don't know if it's common in any other parts of the world, but since I'm Swedish myself, I'm sure of it. I wouldn't want it, though. But I'm not a great coffee lover. Helena ----- Original Message ----- From: Marilyn L.

I was reading a book last night and they said they put a dash of salt in their coffee before they made it. Has anyone ever heard of that? marilyn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
