I grew up not using salt on anything and then I discovered &#8220;Iodized Salt&#8221; that you can get cheap everywhere and then just this past year, I began using Morton&#8217;s Kosher Salt. I did start looking into Himalayan Sea Salt and Volcanic Salts and how they can be used to enhance foods in a different way. Well, most of the salt blocks or crystals that you buy online are expensive so, I found this place that has two locations in New Hampshire where they sell salts for $5-$20 a container for a few ounces but you can mix &amp; match types for $50 in a 6-piece set.<\/p>\n<p>I used the Italian Black Truffle Salt and Himalayan Sea Salt on a few dishes. The Salmon I grilled on Friday got the Black Lava Salt from Hawaii. It is very interesting how each of these salts can change the flavor of dishes. I&#8217;ll be doing more experimenting with these over time as an addition to my cooking lineup at home and for dinner parties.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.portsmouthsaltcellar.com<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Salt Cellar Sampler' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/8259669062\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8363\/8259669062_cf12ba1b09_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Salt Cellar Sampler\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While in Portland, I finally picked up some various salt types.
