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

[K-22]

Seated Below The Salt

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?

To be seated below the salt, indicates a guest is held in low esteem, and a return visit would be quite doubtful.

Some folks have a salt deficiency and the easiest way to get salt into their system is to salt their food. I rather enjoy salt on the majority of my food and some of my beers.

Ham and Bacon

My dad would salt his beer and watermelon.

I think ham and bacon was about the only things my Dad didn't put salt on.
He would put butter, on almost everything, too.
Pall Mall cigarettes got him before the food did.

My former best friend was a "saltaholic", he just would shake and shake salt on everything. he had high BP by 25, and when the Dr found out, from his wife, how much salt he used, he said, "Cut out most of that salt, and you'll be fine!". He did, and was. A white top burger is a very odd thing, and it's not good.

My late mother had a high blood pressure issue for years, and she wanted to make sure that I didn't develop one. She told me that I shouldn't be adding any salt at all to food, as processed food had enough salt to take care of daily requirements. I listened to her, and I discovered that I didn't miss the additional salt at all, and her advice worked for me for a good 50 years. I have to take medication now, but the elevation didn't go very high. For the last several years I've been reading the nutritional readings on food and that helps me avoid overdoing the salt.

I don't recommend coarse salt as the bore of a Bug-A-Salt can't handle it.

May not have any medicinal value but IMO the only salt worth using is garlic salt.

Oh boy, you should not have told me that. It is exactly the kind of claptrap tradition/superstition or whatever that I drive through with the Mongol Hordes, because a horse and cart are not enough. You sit where there is space. I'm feeding you, be happy.

Still, no danger of them being seated below the salt, because there is none at the table.

If this pink salt was that good it would be advertised on TV.

I'll pass.

Usually, if something is advertised on TV, I don't buy it.

Since nobody answered the OP question about the use by date I will answer. Its NOT the product inside of the container but the PLASTIC container will leech out bad thigs after a few years. Remember when things came in Glass containers with no expiration date on it. Thats why!!
