Himalayan Salt

Himalayan Salt.    

I have seen the lamps made out of pink Himalayan Salt in stores and gift shops.

They do have a nice glow when the bulb is lit.    They make a nice accent light (is "accent" the right word).

I was at the grocery store and I saw a display of potato chips with different types of seasonings on them.

There were three different types.   The Red Curry Coconut.   I see that red pepper.   A definite "NO".  

Then there is the Lime and Cracked Pepper.   I find this one sort of "iffy".

And then there was Himalayan Salt.

I guess that I am going to get a bag and try them just to see what they are like.   Perhaps I will feel like a Sherpa climbing Mt. Everest.   LOL.   I read on the internet that the salt is actually mined in Pakistan near the Himalayas.   Close enough for me.

They even sell the Himalayan Salt in stores as a salt for food.   I wonder if the impurities that give the salt that pink color alter the taste of the salt.   The crystal of the Himalayan Salt look like they might be a bit large for use as a table salt.   Perhaps a salt grinder may make the crystals smaller.

Has anyone tried this Himalayan salt?   I will try it but I will probably end up sticking with the old fashioned Sodium Chloride (NaCl, table salt).   Have you seen anything different and a little bit adventurous in the grocery store lately?  The store that I go to always seems to have interesting things that I haven't seen before.   Have a great day.   Lew
