New York City Goes Medieval on Salt

Salt, which is essential to life for man, and animals, is under attack in New York City.

Some New York City chefs and restaurant owners are taking aim at a bill introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking.

When I read this, early this morning before spending some time behind my windshield, all I could think was that New York City was going medieval, and that NYC chefs would soon be baking only saltless Tuscan bread, and purchasing Mrs Dash in bulk.

The story headline is Chefs Call Proposed New York Salt Ban ‘Absurd’, I simply think it is medieval.

  1. This season,  in the Middle Ages, most people would have been eating salt cod tomorrow. It’s a bit like sumptuary laws perhaps: a way to discourage the vanity of eating out. Given that that’s what New Yorkers DO (have you seen their kitchens?), this can’t end well if implemented

  2. Jeffrey, I agree with you.  Mrs Dash just won’t cut it in the culinary world.
