"OY kevalt these goyim are meshungina"


New York Post Weird but True March 5, 2009

There's nothing kosher about this.
Angered that TV chefs constantly recommend using kosher salt, Maryland retired barber Joe Godlewski has come up with Christian salt.
"What the heck is the matter with Christian salt?" Godlewski wonders.
He's has the salt blessed by an Episcopal priest.

Mr. Golewski who often posts on websites under the name Cedarford has also called for the renaming of the local martial arts studio as Tiger Schulmans House of Karate instead of Tiger Schulman's Home of Judo, since karate is a martial art and judo is what they make bagels out of.

The grain size is larger than non-kosher salt. Other than drawing the blood out of meat (koshering) more effectively than non-kosher salt does kosher salt have any other advantages? Asking the cooks out there. I mean NaCl is NaCl, right?

Oh, no, not at all ricpic.

In salt (and some other things), size does matter.

Try putting Kosher salt on your popcorn. It'll all fall to the bottom of the bowl.

Well, I googled - kosher salt cooking advantages - and all I could come up with is that it's easier to control the portion size due to kosher salt's larger granules. You're less likely to accidently oversalt using kosher.

Why no kosher pepper? Shouldn't there be a kosher pepper? Other than Sammy Davis, Jr.

I mean, yer in the kitchen cooking away. You wanna keep kosher, you're careful, sepearting things, using the correct bowls and utensils.

Ya toss in the kosher salt, then reach for the pepper. Goysiche pepper? I think not, bubbela.

Why has this not been solved in all these centuries?

As someone who makes dinner pretty much every night, I cannot emphasize enough how much of an advantage that is.

Once a dish is oversalted, it's game over. Inedible.
