I figured it was just Japanese culinary bullstuff. But I was wondering if there wasn’t some Orien … Asian, I meant Asian! … tal technique or school or something which provides some kind of justification, however silly, for spending over a decade getting that whole “salt” thing down.

Has the word “oriental” now become perjorative or non-PC, and I missed it? Just wondering.

To answer the moon salt thing, the highest tides occur during full moon which churns up more minerals in the water and gives a supposedly different taste to the salt.

OK, I’m going to have to admit my astronomical ignorance here. Why are the tides higher during a full moon? It’s not like more light causes more gravity. The sun and moon are most opposed during a full moon, I admit, but the sun’s gravity contribution to tides would be negligible, wouldn’t it?

When applied to people, some folks find it offensive. Here’s a link. I think they’re being waaaay too thin-skinned, but that’s a whole 'nother thread.

explanation of tides

Tides are strongest during the new and full moon, and weakest during the first and last quarter moon (named for the point in the moon’s orbit, but more commonly called a half moon because it’s half in shadow).

Sorry I was the 3rd person to use the title “baron” I swear those posts weren’t there!

But in the interest of not being an usurper.

I declare myself Admiral Refridgerator!

Thank you.

To save others having to look it up, and because I had to post again to claim “Priest of pudding,” it’s because my guess that the sun’s influence was negligible was wrong. Apparently the sun’s effect on tides is about half that of the moon – not insignificant at all.
