Seems to be a common thing about something that mustn’t be eaten. There was a Superman comic where he was exposed to a nuclear explosion and seemed to have a different attitude. Superman then eats a Kryptonite nugget to the shock of Lois Lane, and his remark is simply “Needs salt”
I saw a “how it’s made” episode about kosher salt. The saline solution is spun in a centrifuge while it dries, so the resulting salt is in flakes rather than granulated. That’s really the only difference. It is still sodium chloride.
For years, the lot next door to our house on Fifth Street was empty. Then it was sold and the new house seemed to take forever to be built. During the time of construction, my mom railed at the dirt, the plaster, and all the dangerous materials that were left lying about on the property. We kids had a wonderful time playing in the sand, jumping on the plywood and piling up the bricks. I clearly remember sitting on my knees shaping plaster and dirt into patties, and then tasting them to see if they had turned into cookies. I was convinced they were the real thing!
I remember as a very young child being taken to a farm that had a lake and sitting at the water’s edge making mud pies. Don’t think I ever tried to eat them though.

Isn’t Kosher salt the same exact salt as any other, & the only difference being it was blessed by a Rabbi?

@Monica—-Not all table salt contains Iodine. You can buy it with or without.

I see that Elizabeth has picked up dad’s habit of raising his index finger when making a point, in his case usually when pontificating.
