Glad you enjoyed! I took a look at your blog too and particularly enjoyed the Peruvian food post. The photo slideshow was indeed mouth-watering – particularly the lomo saltado over rice!

I will actually be touching on Murray River pink salt in Part II – it’s great stuff and I use it at home for finishing dishes. Re the gulag escapees – I did not know that before but it makes sense, given how important salt is. Very interesting – thank you for sharing!

I lived in Burkina Faso, West Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer and I do vaguely remember people consuming clay in some way.

Thanks for posting!

I have some salt from the Murray River in the Australian Alps. It’s pink, and looks like snowflakes. So, perfect analogy between ice cubes and snowflakes.
This is the second blog post I’ve seen about “Salt.” I think I must put it on my list!
I’m currently reading about the Gulag of Soviet Russia. When men escaped, if they had the luxury of taking anything along, salt tablets were one of the best resources they could include.

Checked out your blog too – even though you only gave them 3*, I thought the honey Florentines looked great (particularly in the teacup)!
