MitchW Posted October 25 Author Share Posted October 25 Or just pay. How long will that salt last you and how many different times will you use it as a seasoning? What’s the cost per serving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 See, that's the kind of real world solutions I've been looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 A pound of the salt lasts me about 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 But my friends, you're all cruising around the web looking at what I'm looking at. The salt is out of stock pretty much everywhere except for one outfit selling it at usurious rates (which makes me think they'll be baiting and switching). The reason I'm so attached to this salt is that I bought my first pound on my first trip to Hawaii (Kaui) about 35 years ago. Possibly I am the only nostalgic person on this board, although I very much doubt it, but I like to keep this excellent salt in the house at all times.

small h Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 It's not like I don't have it. Ernesto's threw me a bunch of fancy jello shots yesterday, so I'm kind of ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 It is pretty bleak, now that you mention it. But the Essex Market olive guy has decent saffron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloviatrix Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Walked into the parking garage post hockey practice and the car was gone. Needless to say, I panicked - especially because I didn't pay for parking and I was afraid I was towed. Then it occurred to me to check the find my car app (I keep an apple tag in the car) and realized I was parked in a different aisle. I feel like a numbskull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain slept through it here; October was either the driest or second driest NYC since weather records were first kept. I believe that dryness extends to other eastern or mid-Atlantic states, many under a red-flag fire warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Formaggio Essex had little sealed shot glasses of (the correct) salt. They're buying in bulk and repackaging, the upshot being I just bought somewhere between two and three ounces for $4. THANKS KAMALA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Formaggio has bottles of Vichy Catalan I just need to go with a big backpack (or I can order vast amounts on Amazon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 (edited) I so appreciate all these suggestions. But that is Himalayan pink salt, not Hawaiian orange salt. It does not have the correct lava flavor. But I'm sure it is very nice. Edited November 26 by small h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Oh I forgot it’s a specific brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 I bought some at Formaggio Essex, which should last me at least 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
