Did you know that salt comes in many flavours and colours beyond the typical, humdrum white table salt?
For nearly 15 years of my life I thought that there was only ONE type of salt, a simple commodity that is found in the same form all over the world. At sixteen (oh, salty sixteen), my understanding of salt started to change as I discovered Fleur de Sel, Maldon Sea Salt, and Kosher salt. I’ve been addicted to salt ever since. Those with high blood pressure need not follow my example.
In an interesting turn of event, campaigners from the county of Devon England are taking their beloved Devon Cream Tea to the European Union for Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, securing European protection for the tea to be produced, processed, or prepared in Devon only. Devon Cream Tea, a method by which tea is consumed with a combination of scones, clotted cream, and jam, is an afternoon snack enjoyed by many in England and must be executed the Devon way: splitting a scone in two, covering each half with clotted cream, and adding strawberry jam on top (note: clotted cream first before jam). Frustrated by the way outsiders are mutilating their beloved Devon Cream Tea, angry Devon’eers are protesting other variations that use “sub-standard cake-like scones” that are tepid in temperature topped with “cream from a can” like whipped butter. GASP – How atrocious!
