Ah, but the only emperor is the Emperor of Ice Cream!

Count me in for not finding this particular silly. Salt is pretty much THE flavor enhancer in most cuisines, and getting it exactly right really IS a very tricky and fine thing, because its often very hard to control how much salt presents in any given morsel of food that’s any more complicated than soup (and heck, its even hard to get just right in soup: it takes time to mix with other things cooking in the broth, so its hard to judge and taste midway through and be able to predict whether there will be too much or too little). It often matters when you use salt in the cooking process, because it has chemical effects on food (like drawing the bitter juices out of eggplants, or helping onions sweat).
Even the shape of salt crystals can alter their taste: just try kosher salt flakes over your steak next time instead of table salt: you WILL recognize the difference, because of the different speeds at which it dissolves on your tongue.

I knew it was dead, Jim, but I couldn’t believe nobody’d done that one yet! How often around here does one get the chance, anyway? Mea culpa and stuff… :smack:

Now hold still while I insert this straw in your ear
SLUUUUUUURP!
OK, generally, we don’t care too much about thread-resurrection (“zombie threads”) in Cafe Society, so long as there’s something worthwhile being added. Please go to Forum Rules and not especially Post #7. I quote:
In this case, SmartAleq, adding a few jokes doesn’t contribute to the thread in any meaningful way. I am therefore closing it.
I am aware that Apos certainly tried to add some content. If the main focus of the new posts were related to that, I’d have left it open, but since the main thrust are just joke continuations… > CLANG <
If y’all want to continue salt discussion, please start a new thread and provide a link to this one, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Don’t blame me, blame the jokesters.
