Different strokes for different folks.
Having not had salt for many years, until seduced by Ron's knobbly tubers, let alone his Sporran, I now find the taste totally awful and overwhelming and vomit inducing.
But then, it's what we get used to. No-one is right and no-one is wrong on this. Go with the flow, whatever your body tells you, it's right for you I guess.

Indeed, or Even, Ondine and her Mates, Singing Salty Songs to Sailors down at Brizzle Docks, copper coloured salt-encrusted locks tumbling around alabaster shoulders, firm thighs astriding the Bristol Channel, in charge of all trafffic criss-crossing the mud flats, magnificent in green velvet boots and whips, charging all for an Entry into Wales. And you don't get out alive without leaving Shaun Edwards and Warren Gatland there! |

One of the signatures on that other discussion board was:
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
Is that a line from British pop culture? It used to feature on the increpatio avatar as well.

It was my signature, for a time anyway. I am not aware it had its genesis anywhere other than the cat-captioning internet. *googles* Oh wait, it's a Simpsons quote according to a certain dictionary that I got modded about last time I linked to. Go figure. Oh, wikipedia also has something to say: Goggles are part of a meme stemming from a quote from the Radioactive Man episode of The Simpsons where Rainier Wolfcastle is faced with a tidal wave of sulfuric acid while filming a movie, his only provided safety precaution a pair of rubber safety goggles intended to deflect small amounts of acid. When the scene goes horribly wrong, he is swept away, his suit and prop goggles dissolving, spurring him to yell, "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" This line is commonly misquoted as "The goggles! They do nothing!"  |

Could it be anything to do with the cult Ray Milland movie from the fifties, "The Man With The X-Ray Eyes" ? Whose ability to see through things escalates and drives him mad as he can't turn it off ?

But your body doesn't tell you - not until it's too late  Isn't that the problem with high salt, high fat diets? I use very little salt in cooking, often none. But so many "everyday" products such as bread include lots of salt. And I'll have to admit that I love salted nuts, tho I have to shake off most of the salt that shop bought nuts are smothered in. |

Well, why don't you roast your own, Andy? Oven roasted peanuts/almonds/cashews are a million times better than shop bought ones. And because they are so fresh they don't really need to have all sorts of flavourings thrown at them to make 'em taste good  Works out cheaper too! |

I do my own cashews on a plate in the microwave, takes 1'40" on full, with a stir halfway through. I don't add anything to them. They are pretty cheap because I can get a 1 Kg bag from Tesco for £5-99 - even cheaper from the Indian supermarkets, but then I've got to make a special trip. I've also tried almonds (with the skins on). |

I've also tried almonds (with the skins on). Are there any particular advantages to cooking them in the microwave instead of the oven, Andy? I do my cashews in a shallow pan on the hob. Takes less than 5 minutes and you get the pleasure of seeing them starting to turn a wonderful golden colour while you give 'em a stir. Very satisfying! |

Cashews - yum.
Back to bees - they really do eat bee larvae and pupae in China and Vietnam. I'd post a picture except it might make people feel ill.

Mary, that bee hoon... Since I'm at work, Mary's bee hoon image is blocked. Do I deduce from the above that this is a good thing? |
