February 1, 2013: Saltier Than a Sailor






Salt has been a part of human culinary practices since the beginning of time.  It has added it's characteristic flavor to our foods since ancient times, and with the advent of the humble salt shaker came a whole world of ease in applying salt to the food on your plate.  It's something someone will almost always see on their dining table, and would be sorely out of place in most other places.

Salt shakers also let one know when it's salt reserves are running low, which allows for quick and easy refilling.  They give ease to applying just the amount of salt one would desire on their foodstuffs, and thus allow for as much flavor as wanted.  They also make for great decorations when coupled with pepper shakers.
