Atheist Salt

Awww what a cute widdle Cthulhu!

Why does an octopus need an umbrella?

That is too cute! I give the Cthulhu salt 4/5 stars. 5/5 if they would have put the Cthulhu label on a package of sea salt.

I don’t think people get why cooks like to use kosher salt. See, kosher salt has coarser grain and no additives, and it is preferred in cooking and curing kosher meats, that’s where the name comes from. According to kosher laws, when meat is being prepared, it must be rubbed with salt to remove the blood. Regular table salt, with it’s fine delicate grains, would quickly dissolve in the bloody meat. Coarse-grained salt stays put to soak up all that icky blood that god doesn’t want the Jews to eat. The salt, itself, has not been made according to kosher laws nor has it been blessed by a Rabbi; that’s a misunderstinding.
Don’t use kosher salt for baking. Batter is not wet enough to dissolve the salt granules, so you’ll just end up with “salty zones” in your cookies. Use plain, iodized table salt for all your baking needs. Do use kosher salt in your salt-shaker and in fish/meat rubs, soups, stews, sauces, on top of bread sticks, on the rim of your margarita glasses, etc.
[foodie soab-box] It irks me that the “Christian salt” Dude is reacting without actually finding out why cooks use kosher salt. There is a reason – use Google fer cryin out loud! Kosher salt is not the same thing as table salt + special woo. I know that the Atheist Salt is a joke, but please, guys, let’s try to ask questions instead of making assumptions. [/soap-box]

From a culinary perspective, kosher salt is WAY better than “plain” salt. (Admittedly, I haven’t tried atheist salt) And is this jackass suggesting that any salt that isn’t kosher is, by default, christian?

I wish the creator had been a little bit more careful in his Photoshopping. The text doesn’t curve around the jar like it should. Minor gripe maybe, but it would be the difference between chuckle and getting people googling to see if the thing’s real.
