my first kosher salt

salt is everywhere and salt is available all year long. i grew up in paranaque, a city south of manila. it's a place whose primary industry is salt making. they get good salt water from manila bay and have them dry up in salt beds. but that was decades ago!!!

i grew up using sea salt. sea salt sea salt sea salt. they come in very cheap. from time to time, i see a different type of salt on foreign cookbooks. kosher salt. hmmm.... years went by and i didn't even bother knowing what's kosher salt.... or who or what is kosher. googling through, i had a taste of history as kosher has something to do with jewish food ideas.

when my cuz k was here, good thing her dad accidentally packed a box of kosher salts!!! now, i get the chance of using and tasting its difference from common sea salt or iodized salt. yay for cuz k's dad!!! i hope he accidentally packs more stuff when they visit manila! wooooohoooooooo!!!!!!!!

I had my first kosher salts in a big tub of home popped pop corn. i added dried rosemary together with the unpopped kernels into the hot oil. after popping, kosher salt is sprinkled happily.
