Pink Himalayan Sea Salt - "Best By Date"???

If my pee was pink, I'd see a doctor. :eek:

Back when I played sports and worked in factories, salt tablets were given out like candy.

My doctor wants me to cut out salt, but he doesn't eat meat. I should probably find another doctor.

Eggs... Good, bad, good, bad. Fowl would be extinct without them. Just saying...

Butter or margarine? You better bet your butt I buy butter. Moo!


The best boss I ever had taught me that trick!

They used to make us take them at summer camp back in the early 60's. Every once in awhile they'd make you throw up.
 
It's rather sad watching guests over the years scan the table looking for salt before they have even tasted their food. Salt has become a reflex for too many, so the look of growing angst rising towards panic as they scan the table ever more frantically does give me a kind of perverse pleasure. Could this be why so few come to dinner here?

Some of us are salty all on our own. We just top off the tank, so to speak. 🙂
 
And Kosher salt was not blessed by a Rabbi either.
Quite true. If it had been named by a person literate in both English and Yiddish, it would have been called "kashering salt." It is salt (usually not a complicated product) that happens to be of the right granulation (somewhat coarse) for part of the process of presenting kosher meat to the public for use.

About the original post: just a misunderstanding. That 2021 was a typo - it was intended to be 5021, and that was only because of an abundance of caution over the packaging.

Hope this clears things up.
 
If salt didn't have an expiration date, you wouldn't throw it out and buy new salt. How would the salt companies make obscene profits?
 
Reminds me of how my Dad shoveled coal into the coal cellars back during the Depression.
Many of the old ?&$%? would have him shovel the "old" coal out before he shoveled in the "new" coal.
He said "it's been in the ground for a million years. What difference is a few months."

Coal catches fire on it's sharp edges. It can ignite if a fire is already burning but ignites much better if the edge cuts are crisp/

I grew up being the furnace tender in our house. Very familiar with operation and management of a basement coal bin, shoveling coal into the furnace, and carrying out the ashes. Never thought too much about the angularity of coal or how old it was. Not unusual that a lump of coal was too large to go through the furnace door. Kept a sledge hammer in the bin for such needs. At least during the winter, that furnace was also the household trash incinerator for anything that would burn. All my experience with coal came in handy several years later, but that is a different story.

When I left home to attend college, the first thing my father did was to replace the coal furnace with a new fuel oil furnace. He put two fuel oil tanks in the coal bin.

Me and Mr. Morton are very well acquainted. I used a lot of kosher salt curing hams etc.. Never really understood why the Jewish didn't eat ham if you used Kosher salt on it. Well it sounds good I think!
