Why is your better salt 'Kosher salt'?
I never got that one.
- i never got that too. kosher is the way you prepare things...renderedred
- yes, and it is a way of preparing salt toomonospaced
- You use that salt to prepare things that you want to be Kosher.toemaas
- The crystals are bigger, this more of a molecular issue.garbage
- @tomass, wrongmonospaced
- how do you prepare kosher salt exactly @mono? except paying the rabbinate for a stamp. other than that all salt is kosher,renderedred
- as long as it doesn't come in contact with something not kosher...renderedred
- as far as i know no pigs roaming salt farms :)renderedred
- I don't know, I'm not versed in kosher processes, but I know they exist.monospaced
- Not all salt is kosher, though. Iodized synthetic salt is not prepared according to Kosher standards. That's why there's a different version.monospaced
- You're right in the sense that a rabbi COULD bless anything and make it kosher, but that is separate from Kosher guidelines, in my understanding.monospaced
- ..."The name stems from the salt’s original use: to draw blood out of meat so that it meets the dietary rules set by Jewish law." :)toemaas
- And it's made for cooking, not for shaking on stuff.toemaas
- @mono you made research, there is a special kind of salt used to make meat kosher, yes, other than that all salt is kosher.renderedred
- you made ME researchrenderedred
- Salt can be kosher but not all salt is kosher style salt. There’s rock salt and iodized table salt too. Totally different.monospaced
- My guess on why the name stuck is that it’s uniquely tied to some sort of actual history and sociology of the nation at some point.monospaced
- ask any jew @mono salt is assumed to be kosher. i am only half jew so for me all salt is kosher ;)renderedred
- See! Now we're getting somewhere! Woo!toemaas
- It's pretty simple. Put a salt cellar on your counter, fill it with Kosher salt. Pinch to flavor.garbage
- Just call it kitchen salt ffsi_was
- Table salt and kosher salt are different types of salt regardless of official kosher blessing. It’s a name for a type of salt ffs not just the religious name.monospaced
- Fuck the religious name, you're just obsessed with religioni_was
- Kosher is big scam, a bunch of Rabbi's shaking down food processing plants for a good buck. Nothing but extortion.utopian
- ^+1000, my point.i_was
- That sounds like a monty python sketchscarabin
- @utopian you're 100% rightrenderedred
