Chris CantrellThursday five: things I learned reading about salt that I'm still not over
1. 'Salary' comes from 'sal' — Roman soldiers were paid in it
2. Maldon is technically a manufacturing mistake. A beautiful, flaky mistake.
3. The Dead Sea is so salty you literally cannot sink, which feels like cheating
4. There are 300+ varieties and people have opinions about all of them
5. I've been under-salting pasta water my entire adult life #thursdayfivelist
