Commissioner of Condiments here. Would you like some ketchup with that? Sweet or dill relish?

. There’s regular table salt, kosher salt (slightly coarser…makes a huge difference when salting something because the coarse flakes are easier to control. Also tastes different,) coarse sea salt (usually ground or milled,)
grey sea salt (moist, minimally processed salt with lots of minerals,) fleur de sel (unprocessed, unwashed sea salt harvested by hand from the Atlantic salt marshes on Ile de Re. Includes lots of minerals, is fantastic for cooking, and has a subtle, earthy, mineral-y flavor,) /QUOTE]
According to some food book I read, all Salt is NaCl*, and has the exact same flavor- Kosher, Mineral, Sea- *all the same. * Now, true, some salt has a different texture to start, which as Ogre said, can effect control, etc.
- the exception being the grey or Fleur de sel salts, which are not pure NaCl, and thus do have a very slight different taste.
Margrave of Mashed Potatos here. 
At least in my local market, the default table salt is iodized salt, not just pure NaCl. So, if you’re buying table salt and aren’t paying attention, you probably aren’t buying pure NaCl.

I know, I know, I must duck and run for that one.
THe book was probably “It must have been something I ate” by Jeffery Steingarten. And Fleur de sel was indistinguishable from table salt in that test.
I’m not as exalted as all of you. I’m just a Colonel of Corn.
The Potentate of Popcorn has been looking for you and the Duke of Oil.
You are dish, not a purveyor of condiments. 
Should I be in-salt-ed by this?
Have my credentials as the Commissioner of Condiments been a-salt-ed??
I have sel-dom seen such affrontery.
Dispense with your terrible puns or I shall cover you in glorious pasty avocado goodness!
First of all, thanks to folks like Shalmanese, Ogre and others who have actually contributed to fighting ignorance about salt through their informed posts.
Secondly - bow before the Grillmaster, aka the Grand Coordinator, Architect of the Perfectly Timed Meal ™ when all elements are ready at the same time!

Oh dear, left out the Mikado of Miso, the Nizam of Noodles, and the Badshah of Buckwheat.
There will be one hell of a row in the kitchen about this…
I’ll be the Field Marshal of fricassee!
:eek: Holy Guacomole!! :eek:
What am I, chopped liver?
No no no, that won’t do at all. You are the Knight-Commander of Chopped Liver!
Okay, I’ve seen dozens of people claim it on this and many other boards, but never before in my life have I actually, literally snerked a beverage through my nose as the result of a messageboard post. Managed to miss the keyboard, thankfully, but Mt. Dew still feels funny going out the wrong end.
Well played, Captain. Well played.
