"Melt" has several meanings... that salt crystals "melt" is correct...
sugar melts too... one of the best pick up lines is offering a chick
to share an umbrella with "Sugar melts in the rain".

Nearly all salts are purified sodium chloride.
Like distilled water or white sugar, it doesn't
matter which one you choose, except for price.

A few salts have various mineral contaminants,
which can give them an off flavor, but not the
big names like Morton or Leslie.

I think some salts are stronger than others. I have purchased bulk
kosher salt, and bulk coarse sea salt. Now I have a shaker full of
Mr. Gouda's fine sea salt. I find it to be very weak, and you need to
use quite a bit in comparison to the bulk salts mentioned.

As far as I know, using "melt" to mean "dissolve" is not regional, but
merely illiterate. Another common misuse now enshrined in the language
is "defrost" to mean defog (in a car) or thaw (in the kitchen). If
it's a consolation (I don't really see how) some people call a screw a
nail.

Some, yes. I do have several special salts but I know what they are for and
how to use them. I don't throw them around at all. In Italy all the
ordinary salt is sea salt because Italy and Sicily make so much of it.

Blake is referring to Sheldon's posting:

"Woods don't have a neck, redneck."

Which was proven wrong by Pico Rico using a dictionary. Ironically,
using the same dictionary that Sheldon used to contradict Pico Rico
earlier in the thread.

Sheldon just never learns.

Those tend to have a metallic flavor. But of course
some people would put up with that for the trace
minerals. The same sort that would try a diet

You've got me puzzled! What's a "norton" and I very much doubt that sea
salt is much different from any other form of sodium chloride.

The Leslie salt we got here for years was just concentrated San
Francisco Bay -- one of the neighbors worked at the salt evaporators.
The canisters warned using it would make pickle baths cloudy.

Incorrect, and a narrow view of a wider spectrum.

Just because you have tasted sea salt with a metallic flavor doesn't mean
they are all the same. There are a whole lot of different sea salts and
primordial salts with different flavors. There are many varieties available
with different flavor profiles.

I noticed at Central Market (North Austin Store), they actually have a
"salt bartender" there in the bulk spices/foods section. The bar is
lined up with about 25 salts in 64 ounce glass canisters and she
serves you samplings of the respective salts and explains their
virtues as if they are fine wines.

I found the whole scene rather ... pathetic(?). That's too mild a
word, but the only thing I can come up with now.
