Feeling Salty

Sea salt clockwise from top right: Bamboo Jade/Hawaii, Black Lava/Hawaii, Grey/Bay of Bengal, Basic Mill Grind

Need a last minute gift idea for your foodie friend? Get thee to your local gourmet food store and pick up a variety of sea salts. Like a fine bottle of wine the color and flavor suggests the salt's terroir (or maybe mer-roir is more accurate?) Not all treats have to be sweet. They're pretty and unusual and not something a person would typically buy for themselves. I mean, have you ever?
