another twentytwo-percenter hits the news cycle

<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.

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.
