Get ready for the greatest idea in religious spices since Lot's Wife looked back:
Success in America happens when preparation meets opportunity meets a brain that's inhaled way too much fumes from that blue antiseptic fluid for way too long. Of course there was someone ready and willing to make a buck off it. Bless you, ICA.
Also, wouldn't an Episcopal blessing make the salt even blander?
Fortunately for the sake of brain, someone went off an asked an actual Rabbi (who's all Jewish and stuff) about it:
Salt is naturally kosher, you see. And Kosher has to do with food purity, not "non-Christianness". But I think I'm preaching to the choir here.
Disclaimer: I'm actually a Christian. But if this is what passes as Christian thought in America today, I'm officially embarrassed.
Retired barber Joe Godlewski says that when television chefs recommended kosher salt in recipes, he wondered, "What the heck's the matter with Christian salt?"
By next week, his trademarked Blessed Christians Salt will be available from seasonings manufacturer Ingredients Corporation of America. It's sea salt that's been blessed by an Episcopal priest.

Episcopalians are bland?
ReplyDeleteYou should visit my parish. This woman's the priest: http://www.diocese-oregon.org/artman/publish/article_303.shtml
Okay, you have me there. Up until now, every Episcopal I've met has been pretty bland ... but I'll have to change my opinion there, I'd think.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pointer. I find any denomination willing to ordain women nifty.
