I was asked to address this, so here we go. โ€œSalt is salt. It all tastes the same.โ€ I admire the confidence of making a sweeping declaration about an ingredient used in virtually every cuisine on earth. Unfortunately, confidence and accuracy are not always โ€œseasoningโ€ the same dish. Iโ€™m sorry you had to find out this way. The silver lining is that you can stop wasting YOUR money on expensive salt. The caveat is that youโ€™ve mistaken chemically similar for culinarily identical. Letโ€™s talk about that! ๐Ÿงต
Since Iโ€™m getting things off my chest thereโ€™s something else you all need to know. Salt is salt. Doesnโ€™t matter if you get table salt or fancy Himalayan pink volcano ash virgin salt, it tastes the exact same. Iโ€™m sorry you had to find out this way and silver lining is you can stop wasting your money.

So, is all salt basically sodium chloride? Yes, in the sense that most culinary salt is predominantly sodium chloride. Does that mean every salt tastes, behaves, measures, and performs identically? Absolutely not. That is like arguing that because two cuts of beef are both beef, a brisket and a filet mignon are functionally identical. The underlying category is the same. The physical properties, applications, and eating experience are not. Nobody needs to spend a fortune on specialty salt. But understanding why different salts exist is part of understanding how food works.

Yes, you can absolutely stop spending money on expensive salt if you donโ€™t value the differences. But please stop confusing not personally noticing a difference with there being no difference. Because there very much is. Those are two very different propositions, a preference is not an argument or science. Iโ€™m sorry you had to find out this way. The silver lining is that you can save money on salt.

Oh look, as if this guy couldnโ€™t even more disgusting and gross. Letโ€™s blame a 12 year old for getting sexually assaulted. Ohio, send this guy packing.

Not only didnโ€™t you do this, you were actively shitting on the Biden administration at the time. You voted for Trump in โ€˜16 & โ€˜20 you absolute clown.
In 2024, I early voted for Kamala Harris. On Friday, I early-voted for Republicans in the 2026 midterms. If youโ€™re a frustrated Republican thinking about staying home, this oneโ€™s for you.
