Thread Name: BS: Need saltpeter for my Yuletide ham
Subject: RE: BS: Need saltpeter for my Yuletide ham
My mind is just way out warped, but am I the only one who finds the name saltpeter at least mildly amusing if not completely ludicrous? The mental image alone cracks me up. Of course other words and phrases do likewise and no one else is bothered.........I think I got a warped groove.............
BTW...... "Bomb Building" gets 4,700,000 hits on Google "Ham Curing" gets 1,200,000 hits on Google
