ARE YOU "HOW" YOU EAT?

They say you never really know someone until you break bread with them and I think that may be true.  You can tell a lot by how someone eats, how they butter their bread, cut their meat, or even sprinkle their salt!  For example, there are Ponderers– people who salt thoughtfully  as though anticipating the bite they are about to enjoy- the flavor and texture- as if reflecting on the first time they encountered this food, perhaps it was during a conversation on a first date, or a news broadcast of something significant that they are remembering. They take their time and enjoy the ride.

There are Enthusiasts, too, those people who eagerly shake or pour or grind their salts so vigorously, often with exaggerated repetition, that you might even fear they will over-salt their food as they talk excitedly about their day,  a revelation at work, news from an old friend, they do not even look at what they are doing as they grind away and yet, they grab their food with a fork and eat with wild abandon…. And you wonder, "If I suddenly switched plates and gave them something entirely different, would they even notice?"

One of the most interesting are the Piece-Mealers.  They could even be classified under obsessive compulsive personality eaters– cutting each and every bite as they eat, bite by bite.  They enjoy only one food group at a time on their plate, often also salting it a few grains at a time so that each and every bite is perfectly poised to be appreciated – to notice individually.  They are not as thoughtfully lost as the Ponderers or as eager and engaged as the Enthusiasts and they definitely aren't going to set any speed records cleaning their plate, but you can be sure that every morsel will be appreciated and every grain of salt will be noticed  -bite by bite.

That’s where Salts of the 7 Seas– shines– grain by grain!

What kind of eater are you, or, should I say, what kind of Salter are you?

A sea salt perfectly suited to enjoy grain by grain is Fleur de Sel!  A salt harvested from the cold waters of Brittany, only at certain times of the year and only at certain times of the day– a salt many
chefs consider to be the finest of sea salts for its ability to bring every food it touches to life!
