defrogITEM: So yr a Christian, and yr eggs need a little flavor, but yr salt is too secular (or worse, Jewish)?
The Lord provides.
What is Blessed Christian Salt, you ask? It’s sea salt blessed by an Episcopal priest.
It’s the brainchild of retired barber Joe Godlewski, who says he was inspired by television chefs who repeatedly recommended kosher salt in recipes.
"I said, 'What the heck's the matter with Christian salt?'" Godlewski said.
As you do.
FACT: According to Rabbi Sholem Fishbane, all salt is inherently kosher because it occurs naturally and requires little or no processing. Furthermore, certified kosher foods are not blessed by rabbis but examined by them to ensure that the food and its processing conform with Biblical passages regarding food preparation and consumption.
Luckily, says Godlewski, that’s not the point. "This is about keeping Christianity in front of the public so that it doesn't die. I want to keep Christianity on the table, in the household, however I can do it."
Also suitable for exorcisms. [Insert Bobby Jindal joke here.]
If the salt takes off, Godlewski plans an entire line of Christian-branded foods, including rye bread, bagels and pickles. On the downside (for him), Christian-themed foods generally don’t do well. Personally, I think he should have picked a snazzier name: like Lot’s Wife™ or something.
That’s it, I’m stopping now.
My God is salty,
This is dF
