#119 Sea Salt

January 4, 2009 by clander

seasalt Regardless of how much a white person cooks or how long they have lived in their current home, they all have a tube of sea salt in their pantry. In fact, it’s one of the few foodstuffs that white people will actually bring with them when they move. This is because sea salt is expensive and while white people have money, they didn’t get that way by throwing away $7 packages of salt.

When white people think about regular salt, all they can think about sodium and poor health. When they think about Sea Salt they think about France. So it’s no surprise that it has become so popular.

But Sea Salt is like Trader Joes, Banksy, or The Shins-entry level to their respective field. Therefore, it is important that you learn about other more expensive salts so that you can complain about not having them. To a white person, this shows that you know and love expensive things but feel sad that you can’t yet afford them.

From here you can fill up an entire evening by making the same complaints about art, real estate or Europe.

The White People’s affection of sea salt comes from their (our) affection for #90 Dinner Parties… after hosting enough dinner parties, pretty quickly you will have a recipe that requires Sea Salt, forcing you to run out and buy a tube. For similar reasons, white people will also have balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and wasabi powder.

So true, I fall into this category…I have 2 bags I bought while stationed in Spain from 99-02 and have moved twice since returning stateside. I love it for salads but ALWAYS forget to use it.

I love sea salt! I also love naked little boys, but what does that have to do with salt? Everything.

I need to get my hands on some of that salt.

Complaints about Europe?!?!? Maybe the only complaint about Europe is how they don’t live there.

Aquarium salt (for “fresh” water) is the same stuff, and it only costs $3.

Salt used to give you strokes and high blood pressure until Heston Blumenthal and Nigel Slater said it was awesome. As long as it’s Maldon Sea Salt right enough.

My mom likes to buy sea salt in the containers with the built-in grinder. However, there is a problem: the grinders NEVER work. Every time I use the sea (good) salt, my food tastes way too salty. This means, unfortunately, that I can only expect to use sea salt for cooking and I must stick with Lake Erie salt for seasoning my food. 😦

I’m far more impressed by other people’s taste in cheese. Especially when they like one I can’t stand. I’ve never thought about sea salt. I’ll get some tomorrow.

Sea salt is also great because it is harvested outside, near the sea, by old french craftsmen with sunburned, wrinkled faces, contrary to normal salt which is made by faceless greedy international corporations where the CEO is a Karl Rove lookalike.

Bah, SWPL has done it again. Why, only this very evening did I swing by the farmers’ market to pick up some Mediterranean Sea Salt in time for me to use it on my (organic) vegetables as the jazz played in the background etc.

I have to disagree here; I’ve never had sea salt in my kitchen, but have had kosher salt for years. Perhaps they’re the same thing.

Great listing! But, needs more about the fact that it’s bloody salt, for Christ’s sake!

Not to be the chliched commenter, but I have that very sea salt container in my pantry, with a backup behind it. Nice work.

Anyway, i dont have sea salt in my place, nor do i ever complain about Europe.

Is there a site on what black people like? Or Asians? What about Persian people?
on January 4, 2009 at 9:23 pm alina

Ahh…you’ve done it again. You’ve pegged me. I just bought sea salt last week and since then, every time I pull out the sea salt to use it I feel good about myself.
on January 4, 2009 at 9:31 pm saratoday

Nice addition to the list. I heard somebody (white) claim that sea salt “had less salt” than regular salt.
on January 4, 2009 at 9:33 pm JC

I’ve had the same container of sea salt in my kitchen cabinet for over 10 years and in that time I’ve moved about 20 times. I think I got it at Trader Joes. I haven’t had regular salt since high school when my parent bought the food.
on January 4, 2009 at 9:34 pm cheryl

you can get sea salt at the dollar tree now,and no i don’t use it my hubby does lol

I don’t get it. Does this have anything to do with Pirates of the Caribbean? I fell asleep during the last two sequels and probably missed out on the sea salt crap. And this has something to do with white people? Come on.
on January 4, 2009 at 11:45 pm Sharon

Speaking of France, I made my French class partner buy the sea salt we needed for our French food project of baguettes and cheeses, because I didn’t want to purchase and own $7 salt.

Maldon Salt Crystals! you can’t just have any old sea salt it has to be Maldon salt crystals that were individually hand-picked by Irish virgins

Salt used to be one thing that didn’t have to be organic / gourmet / enlighteneded but since Maldon that has changed
on January 5, 2009 at 2:06 am andykk

salt is salt is salt is salt and if your salt isn’t iodised it’s making you stupider, thus more likely to by expensive salt.

Thanks to the Google-specific ads I now know more about salt than I would ever have needed to know. I do worry that the Celtic Sea Salt might have drifted over from England, where it would be a lot less fashionable and celtic.

Personally I only ever eat the salt from a Bonobo chimp’s armpits. That’s the flavoursome monkey salt I tell you. You can keep your orangatang thigh salt – too tangy for my refined palate.

That damned Himalayan salt comes out of caves – and is full of gritty sand! I ate my mud pies when I was a kid and I don’t need any more!
on January 5, 2009 at 5:07 am kristl smith tyler

First – you got me again! I use sea salt. Second, quite ironically, the GMail advert engine suggests to me “Pink Himalayan” salt when I have the email of this entry open in my mail (Hey! I want some of that!).

Third – Love The Shins but had never heard of Banksy. I must say thanks for turning me on to him. I checked out his site and true to my whiteness – I think he absolutely ROCKS.

on January 5, 2009 at 7:46 am Michelle

Busted! Yup, I do believe that my jar of pink Himalayan Sea Salt was the only thing that I packed from my pantry when I moved. I even chucked my balsamic vinegars because I was afraid the glass bottles would break open and forever stinkify my vintage t-shirt collection.
on January 5, 2009 at 7:48 am diane42997

I’ve never really understood what the fuss is all about – salt is sodium chloride no matter where it comes from. Maybe there’s trace minerals in it from some areas, but my palate isn’t sensitive enough to tell…… maybe cuz it’s burned out by hot sauce? This is one white vote against $7 and up salt. Diamond Crystal and Mortons are fine, but I usually buy the store brand to save the nickel.

I know all about how bad salt can be for you but anything in moderation is just fine.
If food taste better then you do not eat as much and Sea Salt does make food taste better. My pantry could not be complete without it.

on January 5, 2009 at 9:11 am Holly

If you’re truly white, you keep your sea salt in a “pinch pot” on the counter just like the chefs on Food Network do, although you will deny until your death that you have ever watched Food Network.

on January 5, 2009 at 10:17 am rwp

Guilty as charged — but because I got a salt grinder and salt for Christmas a few years ago. After going through the whole canister of salt, I had planned to go back to Morton’s at the table, but it tasted metallic, so I still use non-iodized salt at the table.

I use Morton’s in cooking, though.

You know that soup commercial where the chef is trying to figure out how to give his soup better taste with less sodium, and in the background everything is saying “seeea saaaalt” but he doesn’t hear it? But then he goes to a lighthouse and realizes he should use sea salt in his soup?

that should be another thing white people like: lighthouses.

The cool thing that you CAN do with sea salt (besides let it sit around and remind you of France) is put it on freshly watercolored…watercolors. It crystalizes quite well and looks beautiful.

I never did get how sea salt is better–isn’t it sodium chloride whether you got it from an ocean or a mine?

What is the difference?

I don’t think there is any–I think it raises your blood pressure just the same…

How many white people can tell the difference between sea salt and just regular Morton’s salt like your grandmother had, in a blind taste test? Not many I would bet.

To one up someone with the salt, claim that yours contains dried-up, regional planktons. If it’s good enough for the whales, it’s good enough for you. Where does your salt come from?

I wonder, though, why is some of this imported sea salt yellow or light brown? What kind of impurities are we eating with this lovely stuff?

White people particularly like the sea salt inside a Peugot pepper grinder. Again, it shows the appreciation of expensive (and FRENCH) things. Pre-ground sea salt ina regular salt shaker just isn’t as Caucasian.

Sea salt, kosher salt: I think both are appropriate for “Stuff…” .

Titles

Nothing makes a white person feel more “successful” than an impressive title. “Account Executive” is a nice way to say you are a telemarketer. Many bar conversations start with “what’s your name, what do you do?”
Answering these questions can really can make people feel better than you imediately. White people must give a title. “Project Engineer” makes better sense than saying you set up displays at tradeshows.

I do so enjoy the fact that Google ads brings up Pink Himalayan salt which is fossilized marine salt. So much more pure and better than plain old sea salt. This premium salt costs a measly $29.95.

But wait…

Isn’t that the store where this book is sold?

Which would mean…

That white people really like reading about stuff that white people like…

Should there then be posts for “Urban Outfitters” and “Reading About Stuff That White People Like”?

Oh hell. This makes my head hurt. I think I’m going to ride my bike over to Urban Outfitters and buy this book along with a $38 dollar tin piggy bank with a picture of George Bush in a sombrero on it made in Vietnam.

I’m an Australian white person and only a try hard white person here would use french sea salt. We Australian white people like to combine our passion for the environment with our love of simple and subtle flavours. We sprinkle Lake Salt or River Salt on our barbequed kangaroo because that way we are helping to reduce Salinity, an environmental problem here. If I attend a barbeque hosted by another white person their choice of salt will send a direct message to me about their commitment to this issue, as well as providing an interesting conversation topic as we compare the differences in color and texture of salt crystals from different regions in Australia.

Okay, I do love sea salt yet, I love cumin, rosemary, lavender, and cilantro too. Living in B’klyn we all complain about real estate-that covers all ethnic groups. Prices haven’t fallen far enough for a family on one paycheck, (I stay home w/ the little one), w/ degrees in teaching to afford anything w/o a noose around our necks.
I’ll never complain about Europe, though. Never. The food is good and they never over salt!

Is this stuff good for you? Is it like the big sugar crystals for coffee – where size matters and we can all ignore the health dangers. Is it better if it’s home grown/own label? You see I live at a beach and could pour buckets of sea water on my roof and scrape the salt off when dried by the sun. A kind of dinner party one-upmanship on the organic home grown veg guys.

Sea salt is an OK entry-level salt, but if you don’t keep a big box of kosher salt, you may as well fold up your tent and return to your Okie roots.
Italian salt with summer truffle is a must, especially on tomatoes.

Read the ingredients on the label of regular salt and then decide if you want to go with pure NaCl. Actually I think it all started with the Frugal Gourmet cooking show, which recommended kosher salt (aka NaCl). Sea salt is just kosher salt without the Rabbinical Okey Doeky, or perhaps kosher salt is sea salt with a rabbinical Okey Doeky. Frugal Gourmet is not give enough credit for creating the white world of today’s hipsters. If there was a list of 10 people that shaped whiteness today, the Frugal Gourmet would be on the list. FG was before cable and internet were everywhere, so there were only a few channels, one of them was PBS which had the Frugal Gourmet as its lead cooking show. FG introduced hommus and kosher salt as must haves to America.

Who are these white people? Where is the PBR, shotguns, The Bible, hound dogs, bbq’s, Disney, McDonalds, Walmart and pickup trucks? You are ignoring a huge portion of the white culture. So far you are just describing the head-up-the-ass-pretentious people from Seattle / Portland area. (And most of them were transplants from other places who wanted to get in on the grunge scene but never really got it.)

Have you tried Murray River Salt from Australia? It’s pink and flakey and divine. And it is Green. White people love “green” things. Australia has a saline problem, so taking salt out of the Murray River helps the environment.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Argentines and Argentine-Americans all love sea salt. We love to sprinkle it on our meat and dabble it all over our ensaladas rusas. White people why you always got to attribute stuff to yourselves when other people love to do it too. The ingestion of pebbles of salt to salten meat is a custom that goes all the way back to Guacho times.

This blog is very misleading. It is very accurate about a certain segment of the white population, they’re called liberals. I am somebody who could be called “very white”, not just by the my skin color, but because of who I am, and I cannot stand the type of people that this blog describes. Just by including Obama in this list, the writer/editor knows what segment of white people he is describing,(democrats) but in typical liberal elitist fashion, he tries to to act like they represent all white people. This is very untrue, and the writer/editor, and probably most people reading it, know it. They wish it described all white people. In the blog on hummus, which I won’t eat because it is hippie food, he says that if a white person does’nt like it then they are probably not the kind of person you would want to know. Allow me to translate: down to earth and probably republican.

I’m sure I’m not the first to make this comment, but you should add a tag line to this blog –

“. . .and stuff people who grew up around white people like”.

I’m a black girl born & raised in the south.
Yet, the following things hold true:

I have that tube of Sea Salt in my pantry and have only cooked w/it maybe twice. . .

I dvr The Daily Show (it’s comedic genuis only increases John’s hotness). . .

If I need a laugh, I just youtube John Legend singing Nutmeg song on Colbert’s Xmas special. *dead*

I only get my vitamins & supplements at Whole Foods. . .(any alternative is insulting)

I pay to get MLB extra innings so I can sit in front of my tv for 4 hours at a time watching men try to hit a ball and run the bases. . .

I have traveled to Spain & South Africa. Thus, I can share my “authentic “ sangria recipe from bartender in Madrid b/c there is such a thing as bad vs good sangria (and paella). Also, I knew what Amarula was before my favorite liquor store started selling it (I brought some home from South Africa years ago).

I could go on, but you get idea.

Um, I buy sea salt for $2.50 in the same round container they sell Morton’s in. That’s about .50 cents higher than Morton’s iodized ground salt.

Now, “naturally evaporated salt” like the tiny jar of “Fleur de Sel” that my aunt got me for xmas, now that’s fancy white people stuff.

But sea salt is really cheap.

There are some differences in sea salt vs. overbaked table salt, esp the stuff with “prussiate of soda” (that “tasty” yellow cianide compound added as an anti-caking agent to driveway salt and some foodstuffs.)

Rock salt has a strikingly different taste. And popcorn salt is pretty nice too but easy to over salt foods with.

What is rediculous though is that the salt costs $7 because the company that canned it paid $5 to a jew to certify it as Kosher. Those are some real hosers there.

on January 21, 2009 at 9:43 am Jess

Over 7 years ago, we bought sea salt on our very first grocery shopping expedition as a married couple. I remember the clerk saying that she’s never seen anyone buy this item before and secretly it made me a teensy bit proud of my superb seasoning preferences. It’s traveled with us to over 3 new homes. Yikes. How sad am I? Guess what color my skin is.

$20 for sea salt sprinkles on chocolate? outrageous – but I get it now. Oh white people.
on January 23, 2009 at 6:38 pm Courtney

I love using fleur de sel. It’s great on broiled Yukon potato wedges and I recently saw a recipe that sprinkled it over chocolate chip cookies. It’s expensive, like $12 per ounce, but you don’t put it on everything. And I love to buy sea salt and peppercorns in those little grinders. My race? Do you even have to ask?

Hey,
I was wondering if you would consider examining the dynamic of how white people love to hate certain public figures. Of course the widespread hatred of GWB could be attributable to politics but it is a similar dynamic at play with Tom Cruise. Two typical NPR acolytes will say “the film would have been good if it weren’t for Nicholas Cage” than a moment transpires in which they smugly exchange a knowing gaze and smirk. Entertainers make a living entertaining and liking or hating them too much or, god help us, listening to them too much, seems a waste of energy.

I don’t know a single person, of any race, who keeps sea salt on hand. Maybe you are thinking of a certain class of white people, of which I must not be anywhere near.

I know this to be a fact, because following an accident I had a lot of muscle pain and couldn’t afford any painkillers so I looked for a solution online and read that sea salt added to bath water was good to soak in. I didn’t really want to buy it so I asked around. No luck.

But I guess you would know better than I would, and all of my white friends and family members must have been lying to me.

We love sea salt. My mom keeps some on the counter so our friends and neighbors can see that we once could afford it but slaps my hand when I go to add it to my mac and cheese.

Ahhhhhhh. Sea Salt. I like mixing it with some expensive mined salt for a surf and turf you might say.

Just a little sea salt with some sparkling water makes me feel fresh as a plung in the sea.

Surely we are getting to the point where this page has entries like “bread – those kerrazy white people just can’t get enough of bread. Almost every hipster apartment has some kind of yeast based flour product.”
on January 29, 2009 at 4:39 pm Tom Henehan

Sea salt is NOT a “basic condiment” ~ that’s the whole point of this article. It’s an expensive and arguably superior condiment purchased instead of plain old humble ten-cent table salt.

Ingenious plagiarism from “Bobos in Paradise”.

Except he didn’t think this was about race : which I can vouch for, since I just got home from an evening of sipping beer (the kind that comes with a server explainingi ts antecedents) with friends, after a short stop to pick up organic groceries at whole foods, a drive-through tall espresso truffle at the 24-hour kirkland starbucks, and I have now settled in front of the tv to watch the food network while having a dinner of organic grilled salmon sprinkled with gourmet sea salt, after changing out of my REI-chic rags : and I’m brown through and through.

Sea salt is no different than table salt. Sodium Chloride is Sodium Chloride, irrespective of its source. Sea Salt might have other compounds in it, like fish poop, but the salt component is identical.

I prefer Potassium Chloride as it is not unhealthy like Sodium Chloride.

Yes, I love sea salt and yes it is way too expensive. However, I am married to a Frenchman and whenever we have his relatives and friends come from France, I have them bring bags of inexpensive sea salt from France.
on January 30, 2009 at 7:52 am Dan near Aspen

Most of these posts are hilarious. No days we have potato chips with sea salt. Corn chips with see salt, popcorn with sea salt, you name it and it can be found with see salt, and it all costs more.

On the serious side, there is one major problem with sea salt. It does not contain Iodine.
Like someone said if you are predisposed to have goiter problems you need iodized salt. Of course you also can get iodine naturally in foods like broccoli, and other not so awful veggies.

There is also one major problem with regular salt. It contains iodine. Those of us with acne should know that iodine can be a major contributor to those ugly pustules. It is not the sole cause but it can be a large cause with many people. For some of us it makes sense to eat the sea salt and Hansen’s see salt is not that much more expensive than the fancy stuff.

From a white guy with his acne under control. (Ok, most of the time, love those chips.)
on January 30, 2009 at 8:21 am AmericanRealist

I don’t get the sea salt craze, i’ve tried foods prepared with it and it sucks, unless i’m just not getting the right stuff. I however am not white enough to have ever owned my very own jar of sea salt.
on January 30, 2009 at 8:45 am ana

Love the stuff 😉 Some variations of salt though are very good for you. Himalyaian Rock Salt and Celtic Salt have many more minerals that table salt contains. Now for my confession, I have very dry skin, so I use celtic or him. salt in my baths with a few drops of lavender essential oils. All of my dry skin goes away. I save money on lotions, dermatologist visits too. So, there you go……

My salt appreciation rose to a new level when I discovered “Coarse Sea Salt Smoked from Oak from Chardonnay Barrels”. Looks grey, tastes smokey and salty, is ground in a Swedish salt grinder.

After my initial snort, I bought the whole kit and kaboodle. Damn, those crafty salt marketers.

Sea salt isn’t expensive. You can get it in a crystal form inside a grinder for around $2.

They have Garlic Sea Salt too! I bought some but I have yet to try it, the crystals are yellowish and not that appealing.
on January 30, 2009 at 3:35 pm Kristin

Apparently you don’t know how to shop, because not only can you get sea salt at the dollar store, you can pick it up at any Asian or Hispanic grocery store – under two dollars as well. Sea salt is most certainly not a white thing, it’s a cooking thing. I learned to use it from mexican cooks in the 80s, and have used it ever since. You use less salt, because sea salt is an enthusiastic flavor enhancer of a dish’s natural flavor. Yes, I am white, and no I do not like French cooking. Don’t understand how the French are tied into this whole thing, maybe it’s because I am getting my sea salt from every other place in the city at a much better price.
on January 30, 2009 at 3:42 pm Terence

The must important and overlooked fact is that white people like the act like black people. Barack Obama is black and white with a black man’s swagger. As well, the un-official first black president, William Jefferson “Pimpin’!”, who operated with the swagger of the likes of IceBerg Slim, Bishop Don Juan and Densel, Clinton was that embodiment of the zoot-suit wearing wolf from the Looney Tune cartoons. (character with early jazz age afrocentric traits)

CNN states: “Global branding experts say that the apeal of the Obama girls is unique and infinitly marketable….Many companies belive that the look-a-like effect will rub off….taking diversity to a hole new level” David Rogers, a white branding expert feature that CNN article stated,”Black is Beautiful, it has become a part of the fabic of the fashion imagery of pop culture.”

I have alot more to say but no time left, so review these items that support my point.

Sea salt has a companion that white people like as well. Electric salt and pepper grinders, for when your lack of skin pigmentation leave you with no energy to crank the grinder yourself. I am a caterer who spends lots of time in white peoples home and these a things are everywhere. I have even seen models with a light just incase you have the ambient light low so you don’t burn.
on February 5, 2009 at 8:57 am Billy Toler

Well thats all nice but what about the Red Neck White people. We dont have that Fancy Sea Salt or salt all by its self for that matter. We have Williams brisket rub salt for our Frys, burgers ans what ever else we cook up. That Sea Salt stuff is for Wussys. Take it from me… IF it aint worth Grillin.. it ait worth stealin. Keep them tiny packages of salt, give me a 12oz of Williams Brisket rub for everything. Oh and dont forget the Jalapenos.

At fast food places, the salt is there for you to take for free, so how can you steal something that is given away for free, you dumb beeeotch.
on February 5, 2009 at 4:19 pm LiveNation3

I always thought it was because sea and Kosher salt have less sodium.
One teaspoon of table salt contains 2,360 milligrams of sodium, 1 teaspoon of sea salt has 2,280 milligrams and 1 teaspoon of coarse kosher salt has 1,920 milligrams. But I could be wrong. Maybe white people are just crazy.
on February 5, 2009 at 4:20 pm uh huh....

It ain’t stealing if it is left out to take FOR FREE.

beeotch.

beeotch.
on February 5, 2009 at 8:32 pm tripod

well, clearly white people are lazy, but

80-400 mGs of sodium isn’t going to make much difference if you’re adding it in teaspoonfulls. maybe people should just add less salt.

This is like people who think that honey and brown sugar are more healthy than white sugar despite the fact that it is chemically identical, and in fact brown sugar is just white sugar with mollasses added to it.
on February 5, 2009 at 11:39 pm Ian

I don’t know about any significant difference in sodium, but plain, iodized table salt is treated with aluminum to prevent caking, whereas sea salt is all-natural, evaporated salt water. Hence the white peoples’ appeal to organic.
on February 6, 2009 at 10:32 am the wrong kind of white person

Iodine it’s added to table salt to prevent goiters, but not added to sea salt or Kosher salt for that matter. It adds a metalic taste which is most of the reason table salt tastes different (there are some other caking incredients but Iodine is the big difference.
on February 6, 2009 at 5:10 pm uh huh....

on February 8, 2009 at 2:38 am Kym

Humm! I can’t pass the paper bag test and to date I have 9 different types of salt and three are sea salts and actually the best one is cheapest one.
To be honest most people really don’t have the taste buds to really know the difference. So the comments about salt being salt is to some extent very true.
Sea Salt is not mined usually some type of evaporation process is used (sun, wind or heat). Mined salt is what you get when all the water is gone from trapped sea water.
I suggest reading the book “Salt” by Mark Kurlansky – oddly it’s a real page turner

I never had sea salt until I was 38, but once I tried it I was sold. Much better than regular salt.
on February 16, 2009 at 3:28 pm Schlomo

(sigh) I swore I would never waste time responding to one of these asinine posts again. Oh well-

Sea salt is an irregular shape and has a larger surface area. So in applications where a uniform coating of salt is required (such as popcorn, pickle brines, etc.) sea salt is not an ideal ingredient.

However, in applications where you want a bit of salt flavor (and texture courtesy of the irregular surface area) without necessarily adding to the ‘saltiness’ of the dish, sea salt is idea. Such as in preparing meats like steak and roast chicken, where too much fine salt will merely leach juices and result in meat that tastes like cardboard.

There are different types of salt because adding ‘saltiness’ is not necessarily the main concern of the cook. Ultrafine pickling salt is ideal for pickles and marinades, as it is uniform in texture and dissolves readily. One step up, kosher (a medium coarse salt) is irregular like sea salt but does not have as much surface area. This makes it a great in-between salt in cooking. Finally you have sea salt, which is really more of a garnish salt than anything. Adding it to water for pasta, for instance, is a waste of a fine product.

So no, sea salt has nothing to do with whiteness. If you have a person who uses sea salt exclusively, then chances are they are merely ignorant of cooking and basic geometry/science.

In other words, another fail for swpl.
on February 16, 2009 at 3:41 pm Fastmo

Bwahahahaha. Only the whitest of white people would put this much effort into a response. In other words, a fail for you.

on February 17, 2009 at 7:56 am stagolee

So, check it out…

This author had his very first run-in with Sea Salt this past weekend.

Yours trule was staying with some friends in Cambridge and while neither of them are white they’ve clearly studied the right kind of white people in their natural habitat and have adopted some of the culture and customs of said white people.

Your author is there in BOS and wanting to go out for breakfast in Roxbury or Dorchester or something, but these two decide they want to cook “Baked Eggs” for the kid. In “edible cups” no less!!!

WTF? Who bakes eggs? White folks, that’s who.

While they are cooking yours truly is searching their closets for ugly sweaters… but I digress.

I’m trapped and forced to eat baked eggs with leeks and some other ropy shit.

Sitting there on the table was an edible cup of white flakes. Cola? White Girl?

“It’s sea salt” I’m told, “some friends of ours harvest it themselves”.

Oh how your hero had to work to hold back a chortle.

They were pinching little clumps of sea salt and dashing it about with flourish, clearly trying to demonstrate the proper technique to this author’s uncivilized Black ass.

Well… where the kid is from you don’t touch another muthafuckas food (Woman, sure. Food, never.), so I wasn’t having none of that communal-liberal-free-love-dead-sea-salt shit.

Your hero Leeky-rope-bakey-eggy things with hot sauce.

You would have noted their horror when I pulled out my own travel-sized bottle. Oh yeah, I don’t fucks around when it comes to hot sauce.

It was like when ODB jumped up on the Grammy stage and showed his ass. The yin to their urbane-cracker-ass yang. 🙂

Alas, I fear that my dark hosts may be lost forever. 😦

but sea salt is required in quite a few recipes.
i don’t think health has to do w/ any of it…sea salt lacks iodine…and iodine is needed..
lol i just read about this earlier today in my health book.
and price? you can get store brands for a little less than the actual name brand.

this one is a lame entry i have to admit.

this is like people saying stuff indian people like and complaining how we have saffron in our cupboards…not b/c it’s “fancy” or expensive…it is necessary to add a great flavor and texture to some of our main dishes.

Regular salt is in fact far better for you than sea salt, and that and all those fancy kinds of salt people have are for cooking. Do you really need them? Probably not, but they “add” to the flavor, or so people say.

I have to say as a white person I usually identify with most of the posts here and think ‘yup I do that’ but wasn’t so for this one…

This is one of my favorite entries and the one that really touched a nerve with me. I can put on a wry smirk and think, “That’s not me; How silly those people are” for most of the entries, but this on nailed me dead to rights.

Yes, we have not one, but three distinct types of sea salt in our kitchen: Fine grained French, chunky sidewalk clearing mini-boulders, and snowflake crystals boiled in a pan by gnarled Welshmen Maldon salt…

Plus regular Mortons, cause none of the others fit in a shaker…

Sheesh…

And last time we moved, we did pack the salt…

I too, moved with my sea salt, the actual brand featured in the photograph. I drove from TN to NC with 2 sons, 2 dogs, piles of crap, and my sea salt (along w/other food), to join my hubby in our new city. Damn straight I moved with it! Pantry items like that are expensive. And when I cook with it, I feel so…”important”. And, I don’t know, “cook-ish”. I am “preparing a meal”, so “bite me” 🙂

I never understood this fetish for sea salt. Common table salt usually is mined from salt flat deposits that were laid down millions of years ago when the worst thing that one might find in the water was a dead fish. Now days our oceans are filled with nasty stuff like mercury, PCBs and DDT. Maybe that gives sea salt that unique favor some of you have said you enjoy.
on February 27, 2009 at 8:27 am saratoday

Seriously – it’s all sea salt. Salt flats come from long ago dried up oceans. The real question white people should be asking is which takes more energy – mining salt or drying salt? Then we can sure our pink salt is green salt.
on March 1, 2009 at 1:57 pm Lex

Sea salt is only slightly more expensive and is used to clean new peircings so technically it’s not a big “white person” thing and not usually from France in the first place.
on March 1, 2009 at 7:54 pm Sickitten

Regular salt usually contains iodine which in turn alters the taste of the dish. It used to be a ‘necessary nuritient’ back in the days when people had a poor diet.

Kosher salt and regular salt mix in the water differently when preparing a brine. Kosher salt does not ruin the taste of food with iodine. Sea salt does not contain iodine either. Some have different properties that slightly alter the flavors of food.

There really is a difference.
on March 1, 2009 at 9:50 pm Anna

Guilty as charged.

Next to my iodized table salt you will find Himalayan Sea Salt (which tastes super fucking salty) and Pink Hawaiian Salt (which tastes mineral-y.) I do enjoy my salt.

Oh yeah, regular table salt is great. Manufactured by the giant weapons chemical manufacturer Morton Thiokol by flooding out underground caves with industrially purified water then pumping it through greasy fume-spewing machinery to dry and ship and package…bleah.

People have been evaporating salt out of seawater for zillions of years. The supposedly “upscale” sea salts of the Camargue have been produced there since ancient Celtic times. One reason the ancient Romans came in and invaded was to get that salt, much better quality than anything mined in its imperial outposts.

This is another instance where SWPL has no sense of history, only a sense of tres mode political correctness and hatred of quality.

Enjoy your tawny-skinned New World Order, you lovers of the mass and the mediocre. I’ll take the old, clean, healthy Celtic way of doing things.

on March 8, 2009 at 9:01 am Steven

Salt is is any ionic compound resulting from mixing an acid with its base counter part. Sea salt in addition to NaCl contains K, P, Mg, and Ca plus other trace elements. This mixture of elements gives sea salt a much rounder-tasting saltiness. Whether it’s healther, or not, is debatable. I think it is healthier.
on March 8, 2009 at 10:28 pm Maria

I was doing a simple Google search for the ancient “Salt Sea” mentioned in old writings and this blog came up and, as a white person, I am SHOCKED by these hateful rantings. To set the record straight, I graduated high school in the 1960’s in a small town in Michigan and my best friend was an African American girl who sat and ate lunch with everyone else and we treated her the same as everyone else. I was raised (even back then) to be friends with all, no matter the color or religion or anything else.

Shame on all of you who have nothing better to do than use sites like this for your own purposes. I worked three jobs, raising two children alone without child support or any other support because I made a mistake and married the wrong person. I moved on and keep moving on, in spite of the death of my youngest son. I’m busy doing what I can to make the world a better, safer place – not sitting around blogging about people you think caused all of the world’s problems. What have you done to improve, let’s say, America?

This sickened me to read.
on April 19, 2009 at 8:21 am Karen

I agree. We all know the history of the past, and how terrible all people can be whatever color they are. Today we still bump into people who don’t care about anybody but themselves.

The key to any problem is not to be part of the problem, try to make life a little better for anyone you meet or live with. Start with yourself. Be proud of yourself, love yourself and do what is right not what is easy. Be one of many people out there who are doing their best to help make this world a better place.

We are all in this together make this world a better place for everyone.

I’m white. I buy Hain’s iodized sea salt in the supermarket, but not because it reminds me of Europe, since I’ve never been there. The only place I’ve been to outside of the United States is Canada. I guess I should get with it. I also don’t have a lot of money and neither did my parents. Neither of them ever finished high school. When they shopped at the supermarket they looked for things that were on sale and my father drove a used car. Also I don’t have perfect grammar.

I think sea salt is only good if you know what it does.

I will tell anyone to use sea salt when curing meat or making a marinade. Believe me, there is a big difference between sea salt and iodized salt.

However, if you need to toss some salt on your food, then don’t waste the sea salt. You won’t taste much of a difference.

Sea Salt chemically works better in terms of curing and preparing meats for cooking, be it in a rub or a marinade.

This pretty much goes for any fancy ingredient. It’s only good if you know what it does and when to use it. One can buy a whole rack of expensive seasonings, use them, but it’s pointless if the consumer then douses his/her food with condiments like ketchup or mustard.

I bought pink Himalayan salt when in India. Smelled and tasted like rotten egg. Very exclusive.

Later I found a report from which I learned that all salts are basically alike, and all salts that are sold as something special have just stuff added to it.

What a waste. What do I do with my four different salts now? It doesn’t snow where I live, so no use there.

Really feel bad now. I am definitely way too white.
I will dissolve the salt in the pool.
on June 12, 2009 at 11:14 am Ole

Everybody knows that real sea salt is best for every thing: It even makes the snow faster and firmer in summer time!

…and it’s a primary way white people without an education, or a very high education in art (or law) to appear wise, and “to realize” themselves. Never, never, never try to tell them that sea slat is salt is salt is salt. …and that other kinds of salts work better on the snow too.

(Interesting the really (chemically real) sodium poor salt “Seltin” has no followers. This is probably mostly due to its packaging: The box is made of white polyethylene!)

Rock salt just did the same thing without the bulldozers and few hundred million years ago.

I have regular table salt, kosher salt, and sea salt in my pantry, because all are useful for different dishes. Then again, it does get annoying when you have three different types of salt and none of them are good enough for whatever salt snob is sitting at your table. Though that happens less often than not having the proper sweetner for a guest’s coffee, even with eight different types in the pantry (white fine-grain, light brown, dark brown, raw sugar, pure maple sugar, Splenda, stevia, and for the old-fashioned, black-strap molasses).

“A pantry” … mate, I’m English and even to me that sounds like your living in a Bronte sisters novel. I thought pantrys went out of style with looms, mangles, spinning jennys and diptheria

Sea salt – fair enough though. And it’s always added to any part by way of a liberal splash, as if it’s being ghosted in there along with the spirit of JS Mill.

From a white, English, middle class culinary perspective – just for a bit of cultural change up – you tend to find each of the following knocking about the kitchen: balsamic vinegerette, bread with apricots in (generally apricots, but other dried fruit is also acceptable), a tub of natural yougurt (generally used to put on museli), chick peas and a ‘sprig’ of parsley (it’s always referred to as a ‘sprig’, even though nobody knows quite what this means as a measurement).

White middle class people also have those massive 50’s style Smeg fridges and they’ll use words like “faux”, “pseudo” and “kitch” a lot.

They also “take” the Guardian (or the Daily Telegraph if they’re still into the whole Oswald Mosley thing).
on July 23, 2009 at 8:20 pm White American

Everyone I know has a “pantry.” I live in the USA. Cultural difference? Oh, and bread with apricots? You will never find that in our pantry. Though we always have various tapenades of wild combinations. That we never eat. Yes, yes, yes to the chick peas! Stainless steel refrigerators are a huge deal. Newspapers are subscribed to but usually just tossed into the recycling bin. Never heard the term “kitch” used before. But yes to “faux” and “psuedo,” though “faux” anything is a no go. Kitchens are usually initially judged by their presence of an island and how nice your granite countertops are. And anyone who is anyone has two ovens, not that more than one is usually necessary or used.
on July 23, 2009 at 8:32 pm White American

Evian actually gets some of their water from one of the great lakes in the US. I don’t recall which one, but I wrote a paper on it once, and found that the lake is actually very disgusting, so it’s quite ironic that they would pump water from such a source. Just buy a purification system. It’ll last a lifetime.

Chicken is pretty universal. Unless it’s fried. Then it’s black, southern, or both. Now pork chops, those are most definately on the list of stuff black people like!
on July 24, 2009 at 2:45 am Saint_Sithney

I think it may be because I grew up in the South – everyone I know calls the kitchen supply cupboard a pantry. Had no idea it sounded pretentious to other people, because I grew up calling it that. Guess it’s like the whole pop/soda or shopping cart/buggy debate.

I do a lot of cooking, so I need a lot of different seasonings and things. My pantry is probably better stocked than the average one, but of the things you listed, I only have balsamic vinaigrette and natural yogurt. Both are usually used to put on salads.
on July 24, 2009 at 12:01 pm Saint_Sithney

Man, I wish I had two ovens… then I could guarantee that everything would be done on time and wouldn’t have to spend special meals jumping up and down to put more things in the oven. My dad has two, at my stepmother’s insistence, but I’m only allowed to use one, except grudgingly at the major holidays. My stepmother’s coveted second oven is full of pans most of the time, and she hates when I take them out to make side dishes.
on July 24, 2009 at 2:46 pm Sarah

Yeah. Real white people frequently eat out. According to our beloved CNN or MSNBC, ALL restaurants give your entree 1.5 to 2 times the daily sodium allotment (and they don’t splurge on the fancy sea kind). You, as a cradle-white person, then sprinkle even more table salt on your dish.

Real white people = safe from goiter

Sea Salt, Unrefined sugar, organic fruits, etc. when will it end? Eat whatever you can find, learn from the French and any other people. Besides, Americans are obese for eating too much junk food or eating out in fast food joints, and the wal-mart grocery stores’ vegetable compartments are there. Oh no, Wal-mart is so low-class, declasse & redneck (don’t say ghetto though, that’s racist). The French women are plump in comparison to anorexic celebs/pic models, but how those American women are FAT OBESE GIANTS? How dare you say such a sexist, sizeist, nationalistic thing? +

You need a pyschologist, a white person gets a private one and a 1/4 American Indian like me ends up in a county-paid for service. To equate naked little boys and sea salt: you may fantasize going to a boys scout camp with a beach.

Now about me liking pregnant women and sea salt tied in my warped little deviant head: she swells like the seas & mother nature has a natural way to deliver the earth. Ok, I can’t be that white! My parents were not hippies either. Some cultures I guess seems to beautify pregnant women. +

Sam walton is the savior of the non-rich white people, and I’m an Okie too (2 generations removed). Can you offer us a huge surplus of salt for a very low price from a third world source and open a store in my area to beat out the whites’ gentrified downtowns? The Salton Sea, the largest lake in California about 20 miles from Indio Cal. (where I live) has alot of “sea salt” to sell, get rid of that stinky polluted lake. Sea salt and vinegar chips are a hot sale, I tried them and you know, it has more vinegar than the “sea” salt in name. +

I find many of these to be funny and often true… But aren’t we really just talking about YUPPIES here, white or otherwise?

I took a trip to Eastern Kentucky recently. Those folks were as white as it gets, but I certainly didn’t see any sea salt on the table or New balance running shoes in the corner as they trained for that Bluegrass 50k.

On the other hand, when I lived in the South SF Bay Area and worked for a big company there I pretty much saw every item on this list realized by whites and folks of many other races.

Oh well, I suppose if it was entitled ‘stuff yuppies like’ it would not have the same edge and probably would have gained little attention.

Speaking of France, French stuff and our race’s obsession to Francophilia, here’s the opening/closing TV bumpers of TF1 network in the 1970s. The opening seems to be “gay” (oh looky, a rainbow) with a pastel scheme and the closing has “soul” plus the reggae color scheme. In the words of right wing radio hothead Michael Savage once commented on France after race riots 2 years ago was going on an “Atheistic-Secular-Pagan” direction.

I need to say that this is ABSOLUTELY true!!!

Not 20 minutes before stumbling upon this site, I was in my kitchen packing (I’m moving next week) and I looked at my huge box of Kosher Sea Salt and debated with myself whether or not to pack it up and take it (the opening is broken and won’t close, thus the debate). I knew if I did it take it would spill out everywhere and/or just sit in storage for a month , but I just couldn’t justify throwing away sea salt (I am also highly addicted to salt in general, btw). Then I randomly found this site and could not stop laughing at myself for the fact that I had just been called-out by the interweb.

I am dead serious, this actually, no-freaking-joke, just happened! Weird.

sea salt isn’t good enough, you need to use kosher salt or fleur de sel. Come one, I thought you were white!

Isn’t all salt is NaCL?? I thought all white people were good at science. Another myth destroyed by a white person

Sea salt is mostly NaCl, but it contains impurities which change the flavour.
on October 9, 2009 at 11:44 am Jim

Was that HUBERT Keller?
on October 9, 2009 at 4:52 pm uh.....

so kosher salt must have impurities, right? Kosher means ‘untouched’ or ‘unaltered’, right?
on October 10, 2009 at 7:14 pm Wildrose

Actually, I read in one of Jeffrey Steingarten’s books that the impurities don’t really change the flavor much. What does the most is the size and shape of the crystals, which is what makes fleur de sel different. Special salts can add a different texture to the food.

Salt is salt, people only buy the other salts, since they are parinoid. There is no proof that salt returns to it’s original compound structure, once it enters your system.

All salt are safe and will not smoke or catch fire. However various salts, is meant for various pupose.

Sea salt is meant for Fish Tanks, for Marine tanks AKA Salt water Tanks. Since the fish for some reason cannot live in the Salt we human intake.

Sea salt is also meant for Jews. Who think they need Kosier foods, and since we all know they came from the seas, along with the Pope, and other Marine aquatic humans who still thinks they were dolphins. I said Jews, not people who think by eating Kosier foods, make them Jewish.

Iodine salts is only added, since it Iodine is naturally occuring in foods. In a majority of “western cultures, Iodine is not presented in foods. Especially being in the middle of nowhere without real rations.

Iodine also prevents mental retardation, unlike the creator the website is a must.
on October 19, 2009 at 7:39 pm David

As a white guy, I do of course love the comments. Especially those that have spelling errors. I love to look for those, so I can cleverly point them out. “She wrote ‘Should of’ when she meant to write ‘Should have’. Ha ha ha. “Parinoid” is actually “Paranoid”. And so forth.

For further enlightenment, y’all should visit http://www.gocomics.com/dinetteset. The comic itself is usually hilarious, but the comments to the comic are timelessly white.

Ordinary tablespoon salt is one of those things that most whites hate, because it makes them think of fast food and fat proles. But unsalted food can be pretty bland, so whites get around this with sea salt. Clever!

Heh, true. But what they should remember is if you just want to salt up the water to boil spaghetti, table salt is THE way to go. 🙂 Cheap and melts quickly in water.
on November 14, 2009 at 2:54 pm Wildrose

The difference is mainly because sea salt comes in a different shape. That definitely affects the way it tastes on food. If you dissolved it in water you would likely notice no difference.

Sea salt doesn’t contain iodine. Iodized table salt does. The reason table salt is iodized is to keep it from forming a big lump inside the tube. The problem is that some people have an intolerance to the iodine in iodized salt so they use sea salt instead. I’m not sure where that tube of sea salt would cost $7, it cost maybe $3 at my grocery store.

a German grocery store, with stores parts of Europe and a few spots in the US (wikipedia, bitch). You are clearly conscious of the fact that this is an obscure reference as you felt the need to include a paranthetical explaining yourself.

You whites have a very interesting culture. Even something as little as salt which to me is a very insignificant part of life outside of taste inherits a ritual value in everyday part of life. This sea salt being almost identical to its idozied cousin, regular salt, thus becomes a symbol of power and not only a additive to gustation. After so many studies done on unwhite people it amazing this has not happened before. Only when the internet presents “stuff white people like” as a novel thing to laugh at, only then do whites give a shit. After so many studies on unwhites its amazing it has never been so retrospective as this. It only seems stupid because of the hemoginization of white culture (see edward said, and Fransisco Kaplan). It seems stupid because we are used to the notion that a white person does not have ritualistic habits that dominate everyday circumstance. Hence the notions of white people existing withoutout culture, not being ablt to dance, jump, have buttocks etc exist.

Please attack this post based on the lack of more valid arguments, if you give me the time, I’ll certainly circumscribe your horrible invalidty and your shit-head un-substantiated purpponents of your FUCKED UP-ANTI-JEWISH, HOLOCAUST HUH? Movement. Seriously, I hope the infinite nature of the universe sees fit to remove you from any intelligent discourse etc. If you think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, please continue to talk shit in the manner that your 20 year previous predecessors have, loser. BRING IT, I HAVE INTELLIGENT BACKING, YOU SEEM TO LACK INTELLIGENCE! Tear apart my arguments based on technicalities, you still lose, thanks for supporting America, couldn’t see you when I was there when the members of 3/5 India company 1st Platoon, but you weren’t there, you had some faggot support position which precluded you from being an American hero! Like Bill O’Reilly (you have more to do to assert you’re authority that you have to do to dissuade such authority, you jackass!

Why is Scott Robertson’s crazy rant on the comment section of sea salt?
on January 30, 2010 at 3:34 pm Rob A

scott robertson makes no clear points that I can see. I tried to look past his terrible phrasing and spelling. I noticed he probably used a thesaurus a lot to make himself sound smarter based on the juxtaposition of the stupidity with the ‘big words’. If this poorly executed communication is the ‘technicality’ he is pleading with us to ignore, then I have attempted to do so.
But there just isn’t anything that I can draw from his rubbish. Next time make your argument in dot points so we can work out what the hell you mean

Apparently Mr. Robertson takes his sea salt VERY seriously… Of course, he did put down his fullname so he is very committed – or NEEDS to be committed…

My name is Thomas Briollet. I must admit I am homosexual. The only woman I fantasize about sexually is my mother. She is so fucking sexy. I dream of bending her over and pounding her pussy in front of our gay French relatives. Then I will come on her face and she will lick it off and say “Oh Thomas,you are just like your father who beat the shit out of you and me and was a pathetic alcoholic, and now you just work for some stupid French wine distribution company because you are too stupid to see beyond cliches about French people!” The best thing the French have is the Eiffel Tower, but it is completely useless, like me Thomas. It is just an ugly heap of metal that serves no purpose. Big deal.

I think the French people are so great, but the French have done fucking nothing for the world. If French is so great, why does the whole world speak English? I hate English speakers, but it was the Americans who saved the French from the Germans during World War 2. I am a typical worthless French guy. I need to wax down my extremely thick eyebrows because they take up half my face. I live in China because I think I can be hedonistic and an international playboy, but only the trash of the world lives in Beijing because it is a shitty communist hole. The Chinese would kill someone to move out of Beijing. I moved here to make money to send to my pathetic French family who can’t find jobs to support themselves, because they live in a ghetto called Reims. I thought in China I would be an important white man, but really the Chinese wish I would leave their country, and stop sleeping with many prostitutes and sluts in their country both Asian and white. Take my laowai trash out, and also my horrible French wine.

I grew up in a housing project because my father was too busy beating me up and drinking because he was an unemployed alcoholic and he never loved me. But I still am playboy like he is. He fucked lots of women and had lots of ugly offspring like me. My father used to beat me up because I deserved it for being a shtihead bastard, and asshole. So I fantasized about fucking my mother like he did. Now I dominate women because I am scared of being controlled and powerless. I like to beat them up and be an S&m Master because I’m scared of being weak and beaten up like when my papa used to hit me. I like only sexy innocent white girls who are models and who are stupid enough to be submissive to me. They make me feel important and strong, but I am boring and an ugly French cliche.

I am secretly gay, but I never told my papa cause he would hit me hard and make my ass bleed. I like partying partying and drinking and dancing because I am so original! I am such a party animal! Too bad I am getting fatter and uglier as I grow older. Too bad I have a small small penis and I will never satisfy a woman; and they are faking their orgasms by going ah ah ah. But many sexy girls make me feel important. I am scared of being alone so I must be surrounded by lots of friends and distractions because in my retard brain I know that my papa hated me and he abandoned me. Sincerely, Thomas Briollet.

on March 26, 2010 at 7:14 am azure

I am really disappointed how this topic is being presented. Clearly there are more than just pretentious european cooking salt involved.
What about salt from the Dead Sea for soaking in?? You can buy this salt from discount retailers like Aldi (well, in Australia anyway) and wallow in salt and pretend you are at the dead sea. Because most of marketing is the fantasy. But here’s the thing: Australia used to be covered by the sea. Salinity is one of our biggest environmental problems, so naturally as white people we are very enthusiastically importing salt.
You can get pink rock salt from the Himalayas here, too, because distance counts, and the Himalayas are high up and difficult and it’s a talking point. Overall, this is poorly researched and I am confused and confounded by it. Also there have been wars about salt, which you have also entirely missed. Mahatma Gandhi had a few things to say about it. And now it is on the point of being declared illegal in NY eateries. I dont think you people understand salt issues at all.
Lame. I will try to send you some Australian salt because you clearly need loads of it.

You should do a test. I have.

Put some regular old iodized salt and some sea salt in separate piles and do a taste testing. You will see that there is an actual taste difference.

Then tell me which one you want to use.
on April 21, 2010 at 1:53 pm Felixecho

Inspired by this article, the next time I went to Trader Joe’s (of course), I bought some sea salt in a grinder and some pink Himalayan salt just for giggles. I am white, you see, but I want to be the right kind of white person. =)

We just moved, and we took our sea salt with us. Ha! Also we have our salt in a “salt pig” which is essentially an expensive open container that could probably be a small pyrex bowl and do the same thing. It should have been no surprise (but it was) that when we had some black friends over for dinner last night, one asked “What’s that egg thing with the salt in it?”

Maybe you should do a blog about white people liking to be healthy. A lot of your blogs finger us for things that are actually healthy! Why not roll it all into one smashing blog.

Or how about a blog about white people mixing names of couples, which I loathe, but a shitload of white people do it.

Bennifer (Ben and Jennifer)

or

tagging “-licious” to the ends of otherwise normal words.

or the Twilight obsession. About 95% of the white people I know are obsessed with Twilight and vampire shit.

Personally, I’ll pass. But it might make for a good blog. And great, bit chy comments in return!

I love this blog because I am typically white in all the ways described by virtually all the posts. Very funny.

The latest and greatest salt is Jurassic salt, which is not only sea salt, it is mined from the Himalayas, and is like 320 million years old, when the seas were pure an unpolluted.

So white!

Or, perhaps he could finger white people for buying into unsubstantiated health claims. Not to throw too much out there, but NaCl is NaCl… and the last time I checked, my thyroid likes its dose of iodine.

If you wanted to talk about mouth-feel, mineral content, or somesuch, then you would have a case for sea salt. But healthier? I don’t think so.

Alice, awesome post! Jurassic salt sounds uber-White!

For those on the board who are cognizant of their affinity for much of the stuff that White people like, yet sense a dissonance because of the labels that society uses to define you (i.e. Black, Asian, Guatemalan, Latino, Klingon, etc.), being White is much more than just pigmentation and a trust fund. It is an ethnicity, a subculture with its own set of rules and preferences (see http://www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com for more info). If you like White people stuff, then you are us.

people who pay 24 dollars for sea salt are idiots. i buy it for one euro per kilo in europe, no one there (full of white people) would be dumb enough to pay that much money for it.

it is NOT just NaCl, not all salt is made of the same minerals, it is about 80 per cent NaCl,the remaining minerals vary hence the differences in taste. it is the people who are dumb, not the salt. the taste really is completely different, to me at least it is obvious

I concur with the above posting. As a frequent babysitter for over 10 white families in the past two years, I have seen SEVERAL variations of sea salt in these homes.

I am a “chocolate” female, and since then have been converted into a fan of sea salt. It really does give your food that o-so-tasty flavor that you don’t get from Morton, sorry…

However, I still purchase my sea salt from the dollar store, because…well, I’m Black.

you should add on to this one- in order to be *really* cool now one must have several kinds of sea salt. You use the regular sea salt for every day stuff, but on special occasions you bring out the hawaiian, black sea salt, french stuff (usually “infused” with herbs) etc. Or if you can’t afford to keep replacing your variety of sea salts you can just display them prominently so that everyone will see how worldly you are. Make sure you also display your variety of exotic spices and vinegars too. You get extra cool points if they are imports that you got at some obscure store.
on May 9, 2011 at 6:22 am Gemma

Actually I’m willing to bet that the way cooler salt for us pasties is now Himalayan Pink Salt. Which, btw is far better for one to consume as opposed to sea salt….and more expensive.
on June 12, 2011 at 2:25 pm Ha!

Sea salt…tastes odd. People complain about regular table salt having too much sodium, well seal salt is natural salt and its all the way stronger than regular table salt. But then again, some stuff are at the disposal of everyone to use as they see it fit.

I gotta love the Sea Salt reminding people about France, though…LOL!
on July 11, 2011 at 10:53 pm bb

Sea salt TASTE is stronger; thus, you use less. The amount of sodium is also less than table salt. herpderp?
on July 19, 2011 at 4:31 pm Kevin Chemical Engineer

BB – It does not have less sodium and most table salt is sea salt. In fact, Morton recommends using a teaspoon more sea salt per 1/4 cup.

If you think it tastes stronger it is because you have conditioned yourself to believe that, which fits the website perfectly. If you are being ironic, that is very funny and a good thin because it is on the list. If not that is a bad thing because the “right” kind of white people don’t like to be told they are wrong.

KChE – not the right kind of white person.

on August 9, 2011 at 12:59 pm Kevin, Chem E

No, it doesn’t. It is all Sodium Chloride. If you use more it would be more sodium, but it is the same thing. Most salt comes from salt water.

If you buy sea salt from Trapani, Italy (Sicily), it’s got my (dried) pee in it, plus the pee of all the swimmers at La Torre di Ligny (the peninsula sticking out into the Med, and where there are no restrooms), plus the poo of all the fishes.

I’m sure it’s nutritious.

In the interests of full disclosure, while I was living in Trapani I bought Trapani seasalt and thus ate my own pee.

on August 25, 2011 at 11:40 am Dioxazine

Sea salt isn’t expensive and I prefer it because it enhances the flavor of the food like table salt, but doesn’t actually make it taste salty or metallic.
I’ve actually been to a salt, olive oil and vinegar tasting once. Who would’ve thought something as simple as salt could come in so many distinct varieties?
on August 27, 2011 at 10:04 pm coolstarrybra

Kevin, most sea salt tastes different than table salt because of the difference in the size/shape of the salt grain. Has to do with how quickly it dissolves/how quickly it activates sale taste buds.
on August 28, 2011 at 6:51 am Kevin, Chem E

Absolutely, I even believe I said that. However, coarseness does not have anything to do with it being sea salt.

Actually, one can buy not-so-expensive Sea Salt in bulk (by wight), in natural food stores. I recommend sea salt versus potentially TOXIC “regular salt”–which is often laden with extra chemical additives that are listed on the label (sodas, anti-caking agents, etc) and un-labeled additives that had been used in processing of regular salt–good sea salt has a multitude of minerals important for the body and is pure.
on April 13, 2012 at 9:56 am Kevin, Chem E

Anx

Do you know how regular salt is made?

How is soda or an anti caking agent TOXIC?

You say good sea salt has minerals, then it isn’t pure.

Pure sodium chloride would not have minerals.

Hilarious. I used to live in Canada and when I moved back to the US I did indeed bring my container of sea salt with me… and it was the exact one pictured here. I finally used it up after being here for 5 years.

It’s been a while since you’ve posted, but I have a new one for you. “Chicken breast”. I’m a white person (see my website) and I recently visited the Bronx and stayed with my Black friend. A few times we walked past ‘Popeye’s friend chicken’ and I said that I was curious to try it out. When we did I ordered the chicken breast (which cost 99c more for a ‘breast upgrade’). My friend commented to me that asking for the breast is a white people thing, as black people and Spanish tend to prefer the dark meat.

We’ve updated our salt preferences since 2009, now it’s all about the Himalayan salt.

sea salt is cleaner and has less heavy metals in it than “regular” salt. I can tell the difference

Himalayan pink salt. Nuff said.

Yes, I have to admit that I am yearning for some hymalayan pink salt. Probably has minerals that are good for me. Georgia proofreader, Georgia web designer

They’ve moved on to Himalyan Salt now. It’s pink. White people’s geneticists are probably working on an entire range of mix-and-match pastel colours this very moment.

Ironically, I grew up by the sea and now live in the mountains 1,000 miles from the coast and my nostalgia-based tube of sea salt is deemed unfashionably yesteryear.

Really? I’m a black guy in Chicago with Mediterranean, Kosher, Morton and salt for icy winter sidewalks.

I’ve been white for almost 80 years and never heard about see salt. I really think it’s a idea brought from mediteranian immigrants and has little to do with skin color. You do realize that just regular salt provides us with iodide and so is better for us.

Sea salt is for the dumb. Chemically it is the same as table salt, just with DIRT IN IT, and minute traces of other elements at levels so low as to do zero good and not affect the flavor. But hey, let’s pay 30 times the price for the dirt. Morons!!!!!!!

Absolutely Sea Salt is expensive but it has a great impact on health. White people including me love it because of its taste.
