N.Y. To Ban Salt In Restaurants

[Andy Griffith]

Clearly, that Ortiz feller ain't worth his salary.

The word salary is derived from the word salarium, (IIRC) which is also the Latin word for salt.

That is where the old saying "he isn't worth his salt" comes from.

That there boy ain't worth his salt.

That feller that came up with this is an absolute idiot.

When I lived in NY I went to Ohio for the fireworks, Connecticut for the lobsters and clams, Pennsylvania for some deer hunting, Canada for the high test booze; I guess I would have had to add a trip to Massachusetts for the ol salt.
And people ask me why I moved from my home (I do miss the place dearly- not the bull crap though).

Gee, I wonder why.

So much stupid in such a small state. Nuff said.

 

[saxon357]

I know I'm out of line here however, grits without salt is like Smith & Wesson without shiny steel and polished wood!

It's mostly just the folks within 50 miles of NYC and 50 miles of Albany. You wouldn't want everything that happens in Austin blamed on you, would you?

Thanks for clearing that up

Btw, eating grits in NY is like eating pizza in the deep south.

Try baking bread without salt. Not good.

Salt intake as a cause of high blood pressure has been pretty much debunked.

Please tell me how you know that. I do understand Sodium has a hypertensive effect, Sodium Chloride is salt.

I can't say for sure. But the doc tells me, salt is bad if you have high BP. But it will not give you high BP.

In any case, who cares? It is not the Govs job to 'protect' me from the evils of salt, or tobacco, or trans fats, or whatever.

It's not our fault that NY'ers don't make pizza the way we like it.

It also criminal down here to eat fried chicken with a fork.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree on the government part.

Now wait just a minute there! We've got a feller here in Tulsa that came down from Brooklyn just to make us pizza! His is three times better than anything I've eaten in Manhattan.

'Course, about the only way I'd eat grits in NY is if redlevel came up and made them for me.

 

[feralmerril]

Anybody besides me like ketchup on pizza?

Transplants excluded.

Besides everyone who lives or ever lived in the City knows the best pizza comes from Brooklyn or Da Bronx.

 

[jrd1976]

when salt is outlawed, only outlaws will have salt.

Who the hell eats fried chicken with a fork? If you're implying NY'ers do, you're dead wrong. I never saw a NY'er, or anyone for that matter, eating fried chicken with a fork !!

The only vice I have is mustard on a hamburger. I'll take mine with ketchup please. We use mustard for hotdogs and hot pretzles.

Back on topic. This retard Ortiz will never get his asinine idea to fly. The only thing I can see NY doing with his idea, is placing a tax on salt. Hell, they're going to do it with soda. It's bad for the kids so we'll place a special tax on it.

LOL...maybe he meant spaghetti...LOL

I live in the "suburbs" and believe me. We certainly dont have a shortage of idiotic politicians with idiotic ideas. The City just seems to come up with more of them.

Tom, that just might have something to do with their constituency.

[moonclip]

Do they eat grits in NYC?

No, they don't. And if you could get them to fix some for you, you wouldn't want to eat them, either.

I'll bet there are a few folks living uptown that would disagree with that statement.

Anyway, I'm stocking up on Hi-cap shakers so I'll be set when the big "shake up" takes place.
