Five Strange and Amazing Salts (Link to Article)

[Shel_B]

This morning I received THIS LINK describing several unusual salts.  Some are quite intriguing.  Thought I'd share it with everyone ....

Thanks for the laugh.

 

Alaskan Alder Smoked Salt
According to Bitterman, this intensely smoky salt “tastes like the Yukon.” The large, crackling flakes are a beautiful pale pink and great for game meats as well as rich dishes like creamy risotto.

 

 

Alaskan salt that 'tastes like the Yukon' (says someone who I expect is 'non-Canadian, and a 'non-Yukoner' about an Alaskan salt!) ... I lived in the Yukon for 20 plus years and I would still love to know what 'tastes like the Yukon' means! I spit out my coffee when I read that.

 

By the way, the link to this Mr. Bitterman - the selmelier's (a term he may have coined himself since he started the Selmelier Association apparently) shop - The Meadow - appears to be incorrect in that article. I had to go out on the web and find it .. it is http://themeadow.com/.

 

While this is a somewhat interesting piece it is basically a self-promotion (probably paid for) article I think. Coincidentally, all the salts mentioned .. are on his shelves and many of them seem to have the name Bitterman in front of them.

Selmelier? *shaking my head*

 

Proof that the culinary world needs the equivalent of a razzie.  An anti-Beard award for culinary stupidity.
