Subject: RE: BS: Salty and sweet snacks
Another thumbs down for vinegar in any shape or form (my husband ruins a perfectly good piece of salmon by immersing it acetic acid!)
And a thumbs up for Tunnock's caramel wafers (heard the song by Adam McNaughtan?) and their teacakes, but no, no, no to snowballs (coconut, yuk!)
And a wee story from a dinner party a few weeks back with fairly new-found friends: I put a teaspoonful of white crystalline substance into my coffee, thinking it was sugar: it was salt! Undrinkable, but kept quiet about it, as I didn't want them to have to go to the trouble of making me another coffee. Told them about it a few days later, and we had a good laugh!
And Senofou, perhaps your husband's liking for salt stems from having lived in a very hot country where you need to replace all the salt sweated off!? I know that I get cramp in hot countries if I don't up the salt intake.
