Speaking of salt....I needed coarse salt, went to the grocery store and bought this:

Quoting this because I wasn't finished.  When I used it, I thought, gee, this isn't what it's supposed to feel like.  A closer look led me to the bottom of the box.  How this ended up being sold in a grocery store, I have no idea.  It is quite a fine salt, not far off table salt.  I realize you aren't talking about Diamond Crystal but thought you might find it interesting.  I see in Mark Bittman's chart, this salt isn't listed.  For comparisons sake, here are three salts.  On the right is Diamond Crystal, the top is a Mediterranean sea salt and the below it is Maldon Sea Salt Flakes.
