Thanks to Pez, a new salt has a permanent place on the spice rack. Most people have some table salt, maybe some sea salt. In typical fashion, we go overboard with a pig full of cooking salt, a grinder of sea salt, a small jar of salt with truffle essence, a recently added jar of smoked sea salt from the Hereford Food Fest, and a treasured bag of hand raked sea salt that we found in Portugal. Each one is different and can completely change a finished dish when sprinkled on just before serving.
And, now, last but not least, from the Spice House in Chicago, Vulcan's Fire Salt. A mix of salt with tang from citrus and vinegar, heat from habanero peppers, and aromatic spices like allspice and cumin, this stuff is amazingly versatile for those that like their food a bit spicier. So far, I've tried it on eggs, popcorn, pie from a can, rillets, and some minced pork meatballs and it works with everything. I wonder if they ship overseas?
Cheers!

Why did you include the pepper grinder in a salt blog?
Now I have to explain the creative direction of my blog? Aren't you at work?
Helen Rowland said “A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.”
I think...well, okey dokey then!
Depending on the amount of your consumption, I think that we can make it part of our usual “gifts from home” on our next visit.
Let's see if I can tear through the first bottle by Christmas.
Two words "blood pressure"
as in, "my blood pressure is rising because I am sooo hot from eating my vulcan salt." (now lick finger and do virtual sizzle.)
Any unnamed persons who have been known to occasionally put salt on things such pizza might also have concerns about their hypertension.
I believe Spice House will sell in bulk for you to take back with you. You could even pick up a box of two of Kosher salt.
