Me: I might get bored, but never bored enough to watch a Wayne Newton
retrospective.
J: Next up is a documentary on the history of salt.
Me: That's basically a White People double feature.

Although I would recommend Mark Kurlansky's book, Salt: a World History, tells the world's history from the angle of salt. He has a similar book covering the history and importance of the cod fish, titled: Cod.
Amazing how these two commodities directed economic and military efforts!

@revdjenk I know some Roman soldiers were paid in salt.
Mycotropic@kimlockhartga @revdjenk how about peppercorns? Any idea what the exchange rate was between #Peppercorns and a #Denarius in, call it, 100CE?
Thanks!
Thanks!
@mycotropic @kimlockhartga peppercorns and tulips (but just for about a decade)
