flavoured salts (1 Viewer)

I love salt and probably use too much so thought I'd go for the good stuff and ordered some halen mon salt from here:
http://www.seasalt.co.uk/

Their little gift set comes with 5 10g pots of different flavours... Pure, Oak Smoked, Organic Celery, Organic Spiced and Taha'a Vanilla.

They are great, big crunchy flakes but not too salty and a great smell/flavour off them so a little goes a long way. The celery one is great sprinkled over hummus and they give a little card suggesting what you could use each one on. Am going to try the vanilla one over popcorn next yumz.

That bacon salt business also sounds interesting...

Anyone know of any others? Or made your own mixes?

In Oz they have Chicken Salt. I think its just a chicken stock cube crumbled into a packet of sea salt but its great on chips!

It's ok, is crystals though not flakes, nice packaging tho.

in my h-opinion the best is Maldon sea salt. Big flake action.

Did you dry out the rosemary first or just use fresh?
I've loads of rosemary I could use up this way.

No I used it fresh. I would just use a pestle and mortar to grind up the rosemary leaves and salt and some pepper and then leave that sitting in the mortar and use it as a seasoning for as long as it lasted.

This is the same thing as flavoured coffee. Doesn't male sense.

The Hickory variety of Bacon Salt is decent enough but the main Original flavour tastes really fakey. I think you'd be better off scraping off bits of bacon fries on whatever you were making. There's also the fact that it is a flavour without the texture, even the ones that taste quite nice mess with your head a bit.

Verruca salt.

i'm trying to wean myself off salt (mostly in the form of soy sauce) the last few days
using a teaspoonful instead of pouring a couple of shots worth onto every plate of food seems an ok way to go about it
things are starting to taste less bland now but the first couple of meals were rough
