Yeah, I think I’m fine. I just want salt.
Now I want chocolate.
Last month, at that delicate monthly time, I finished half a jar of dry roasted peanuts and still had a salt jones. I sat back in my chair, and surveyed the snack foods in my closet – nothing going there. So I cracked open a Minute Maid Lite and contemplated my situation. I could run to the convenience store, but that would involve putting on pants. My eyes fell on the empty peanut jar and saw it had about a tablespoon of salt in it. I poured it into my hand and ate it one damp finger-full at a time. It was quite possibly the most satisfying thing I’ve eaten in recent history.
I bow before kaiwik’s love for salt. Having licked a cow’s salt lick, I can only marvel at your dedication. Were they big brown ones or white? Blech to both, but more so to the brown.
I used to love those big crystals of rock salt. Mmm, I want some now.
When I have a major salt craving, I eat salt and vinegar potato chips. Especially Cape Cod Sea Salt and Vinegar. Delicious, but they will make your lips sore.
It’s worth it.
You’re not the only one that craves salt:
I’m getting more mileage outa that one dinky thread . . .
Been there, ate that.
It was delicious.
I am glad to know there are other salt lovers out there. The sweet lovers drown us out sometimes.
I can keep a block of choccy in the fridge for eons, it really doesn’t interest me. A packet of chips? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM They have to escape…down my gullet.
I believe some of us are salty and some sweet, we will never quite understand the other.
Well, you do have some folks who bridge the gap, like me, but I’m tipped a little to the salty side. When my cousin Amy and I were kids, we would buy a packet of Skittles (sweet) and a packet of sunflower seeds (salty) and dump them together in a bowl. Best of both worlds, yum. Funnily enough I tried that again a couple of months ago and I didn’t like it anymore.
Choccy or salted Cashews? The choccy dies neglected.
Deprive me of salt and you die!
When I was pregnant all I wanted was sweet. The human body can be clever sometimes. It craves what you need.
Of course I gave birth to a sugar fiend and I still luuuuurve salt, so maybe the human body knows bugger all sometimes.
Oh, yes, cashews. Hold me back!
Looks like I’m going shopping today.
My mother loves saying “Would you like some dinner with your salt” 
I could live on Cashews…oh and Pistaschios…oh and chips 
(you need Marmite!)
I fear Marmite yet am strangely attracted by the idea. Perhaps I should try to order some from somewhere.
Marmite is salty goodness.
Drop me an email…I have several free promotional little jars at the moment.
E-mail sent.
Mmmm…salt. I love salt, salt salt salt!
I used to put so much on my food as a kid that my sister claimed I would die of a heart attack befoer I was 18, I proved her wrong, though!
I finished my bag of pretzle sticks (they seem to have more salt on them than the traditional shape) last night, and still wanted salty…the store was closed, (this town shuts down at 10:00) nothing good in the kitchen, so I, too, licked salt and pretzle crumbs off my finger tip…mmmmmm!
The salt licks were a pinkish color, and they weren’t wonderful, but we were on a small farm, and the grandparents did not believe in chips or any other salty snack. The rock salt was wonderful though!
I do enjoy good chocolate, but in extreme moderation. I don’t bother with grocery store sweets though. Hershey bars, yuck, I can taste the wax in them. shudder and non-chocolate candies, for the most part, don’t interest me. Chick-O-Sticks and Reeses Cups are acceptable substitutes, but only during that special week before.
Miss Purl McKnittington, are we sisters who were seperated at birth? lol!
Another “old salt” here. I pretty much eat healthy to keep my weight where I want it. But I must put salt on my meat and veggies. Just don’t taste right without it. My favorite salty meal? Homemade fried chicken, salted of course. I do like chocolate but any other sweets…meh…well, maybe a piece of pumpkin cheesecake now and then.
I ordered a few ‘gourmet’ salts awhile back, just to experiment, and not expecting to love them as much as I do.
My personal favorite is a Danish Viking-Smoked Sea Salt that you’ve just got to taste to believe. Nice, smoky flavor.
Actually, I tried a few from salttraders, the Peruvian Pink, the Australian Murray River Flakes, and Hawaiian Black Lava Salt. All really, really good. The flakes are excellent on a Caprese salad, and the Peruvian Pink has replaced a shaker of salt on our dining room table.
I’m neither a salt-lover nor a sweet-lover. I eat far less-than-average amounts of each.
But now I want salt. Thank you, dopers.

Is there such a thing as extreme moderation?
