What Food Are You Craving?

[Xraystyle]

You are a girl after my own heart. I love salt more than life itself. I am a salt alcoholic. When I was in the hospital on a no salt diet I though I was going to die.

I've started collecting artisan salts. I don't have many at the moment, but I've got Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and Icelandic "volcano" charcoal sea salt. Both in those little table grinders. Just had the Icelandic salt on some fresh popcorn~

It is not in this section that I get ignored. I just get paranoid. In my other cat foram I was a member for 25 years and I kept getting ignored by their petty little clique so I stopped going. They were so small I think they finally closed up.

No wonder they closed, especially if they were ignoring a 25-year member.

BTW, muffy , and anyone else, if you like to read, please consider joining our book of the month club. It's not sugary or salty, but this month is a cat book. So definitely a topic we all have in common. Here's the link: Featured - April 2020 book of the month club

I definitely have more of a salt tooth than a sweet tooth.

I'm the opposite, and rarely crave salt. I also rarely add salt my cooking. However, on the rare occasion, I'll crave salt and vinegar chips, and eat them till my lips get corroded.

Rhubarb. This is the time of year when I want rhubarb, gently cooked with raisins and a little bit of sugar. I'm reluctant to go to a large supermarket, The IGA would have it in the ordinary course of things (remember those days?) but I don't want to go there on a "maybe." Or just for a single item either. There's the farm stand across the river in Pennsylvania - I should call them. Or if the craving becomes too strong to ignore I will, reluctantly, pull a couple of stems off the one rhubarb plant I grow as a stately, leafy, ornamental.

I get ignored a lot on Facebook! My friends/family on there don't seem to like music or talking about food & coffee. The only thing they respond to is if I post pics of Demi & Maggie.

I want to try a spicy salt.

Rhubarb

Now I'm craving rhubarb! When I was a kid, we used to dunk it in sugar. So yummy and sour.

Where do you buy the above salt? I have seen some salt that come in those little table grinders in the grocery stores. I like the bottles they come in but I have never tried them. The only salt I won't eat is sea salt. I just find that gross.

Key lime pie and I still want those nachos

Now I'm craving nachos. With a spicy cheese sauce!

The pink sea salt just came from iHerb. I had my folks buy the Icelandic salt when they were in Iceland (I've been before so didn't want any typical souvenirs and found out they had special salt) I love sea salt, I like it much better than regular table salt.

My problem with sea salt is that they get it from the sea where all the fish go to the bathroom and die. I can't eat anything coming from those waters.

Peanut M & Ms, in a bowl with potato chips, all washed down with a high-octane Pepsi. Sweet, salty, and carbonated. BRING IT! please

Ah, I see. Well, himalayan salt comes from ancient sea beds and is mined similar to rock salt. The other stuff does come directly from the sea but is bleached/sterilized naturally by the sun.

I don't like buying local Korean salt because I know they've had really bad issues with salt flat owners in the southern islands treating employees (mostly disabled people and undocumented foreigners) like slaves. There was a big investigation about 6 or 7 years ago, and over a hundred workers were rescued, but I don't doubt that it still happens.

My problem with sea salt

I read that sea salt doesn't have an ingredient that we need in it, so regular salt is better. Is that true?

Today I'm craving pasta, but not gluten-free, the regular kind!

 

[muffy]

Cole slaw and the new veggie burger from Burger King along with fries and a shake.

I would guess you mean iodine. Table salt is "iodized salt". There are other foods that include iodine, but the reason it was added to table salt was simply because it was the easiest way to make sure people get enough. Kind of like fluoride in the water.

I think most sea salt contains some iodine, although it might be more naturally occurring stuff coming from seaweed than added purposefully during production.

Is there a difference between the taste of gluten-free pasta and the regular kind? I have been thinking of trying a gluten-free diet.

Oh good lord, yes. A lot of gluten-free foods taste like cardboard or roadkill to me. But maybe you will have better luck with it. You have to cook the pasta for less time and watch it like a hawk.

Thanks for the info. I will try a box of the pasta to see how I like it. It is getting harder and harder for me to find something I can eat. I am a strict vegetarian but lately it seems every vegetable I eat seems to irritate my IBS. I though maybe a gluten-free diet might help.

Try Tinkyada. That's the only gluten-free pasta brand that I like.
