<venividi> some nutter is "tired of hearing about kosher salt" so he's introducing "Christian salt" -- blessed by an episcopal priest
<ronebofh> i guess you want blessed salt to fend off vampire slug attacks.

Blessed by an episcopal priest?

[skippy-fluff.livejournal.com]

The article you linked to doesn't include the info that it was blessed by an Episcopal priest. Where did you see that?

Following the link to the supplier yields the amusing data that *all* of their ingredients are kosher, so we can be pretty sure that the "Blessed Christian Salt" is also kosher.

I wonder if the creator realizes that....

I'd have to ask venividi.

Mormon salt would result from baptizing the kosher salt so it could be allowed into heaven, of course.

Yes, it does,

just because the ingredients are kosher, does not mean that they were put together in a way that is still kosher.

The CheeseBurger is a classic case.

One can have kosher cheese, and kosher meat, and a kosher bun, but the sum is SOOO not going to pass muster.

Bah, you need the "Salt of Islam" don't Jihad without it.

will it be used for christianing meat? i do not want to think about what that process would entail.

Heh. This was making the LULz in the atheism community a little while back. Someone more culinarily-minded than I am pointed out that the main reason recipes tend to call for kosher salt doesn't have to do with it being inspected by a rabbi so much as that it's not iodinized, so it won't discolor when used in recipes with a starchy component.

I thought it was more about the anti-caking stuff that has to be added to the fine-grained salt, which is not (as?) necessary with kosher salt. I'm pretty sure that un-iodized fine-grained salt can be had at my local supermarket.

My father died of vampiric hypertension, you bastard.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

He couldn't handle the pressure, huh?

I am disappointed by the ignorance of these people. Everyone knows that only mined salt can be Christian, as anything else would not be the Salt of the Earth.

You can get an Episcopal priest to bless anything, though.

actually no....

There is a great holy war going on between the so called conservative wing, that wants to owe political allegiance to Anglican Bishops from overseas countries like Nigeria....

But those Freaks are not yet willing to register themselves as Forreign agents...

The kinder, gentler days, when episcopaleans were just the sort of folks who show up in doonesbury comics have come and left...

THERE IS A HOLY WAR GOING ON!!!!

Oh yes, and can we put you down for the entertainment committee that will be responsible for some light engaging and relevant wit and erudition after the Apocalypse...

Now here (http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/himalayan_salt.htm?gad&gclid=CJvA6uz6qJkCFQQRswodvmifpw) is some good Christian salt.

Ummm... his name is "Godlewski". I sooooo want this to be pronounced godless-ski

Would you load a shotgun with Christian salt to fire at Christians, or the EvilUnbeleivers(tm)?
