I'm interested in the origin/definition/folklore/history/legend/myths of salt topics such as:
What is the Russian bread and salt custom? (khleb i sol')
What does iodizing do for salt?
What about salt cellars
"Above the salt"
"Salt of the earth"
Salt trade routes
Why is salt associated with hospitality?
I look forward to some interesting responses. If you have a source, please cite it. No, I'm not doing a paper, I like to give salt cellars as gifts and I'd like more information on the whole subject of salt.
