properly salted food is the basis of cuisine and has been since cuisine developed many thousands of years ago. Up until very recently, salt was an economy all its own, and the search for and delivery of salt was the driver of more human history than is possible to describe. great choice, and opens this up to just about anything worth its salt

I agree. There are some cool things that can be done with salt. I do think it will be interesting.

Can we get a clarification on whether the salt must be natural? Or will artificial salt suffice?

:lol:

As winner of the 45th challenge with my exquisite Pollo La’Orange dish, it is my honor and duty to setup the next challenge.

You all know the rules. Salt must be the key ingredient, and you need to post pictures of your preparation and final dish.

I get that these challenges have fizzled out, but it does appear quite a few people showed interest in getting them rolling again. I figure I’ll set this up and see how it goes. If enough people participate and these challenges continue, then good deal. If it fails then it wasn’t meant to be.


I’ll be back in August with the submission thread.

What's the one where they are trying to stay silent and the enemy keeps dropping depth charges and every time they think they're in the clear the destroyer comes back and drops more.

Isn’t that Das Boot? Been a long time since I’ve seen it, but what you describe I remember from a movie. Maybe be getting movies confused.


shite now I’m curious



Update: I asked Grok and this was its response (it does appear Das Boot was what I was thinking)


You’re likely referring to The Enemy Below (1957), a classic World War II submarine film. It depicts a tense cat-and-mouse game between an American destroyer, commanded by Captain Murrell (Robert Mitchum), and a German U-boat, led by Kapitän von Stolberg (Curd Jürgens). The U-boat crew must remain silent to avoid detection while the destroyer repeatedly drops depth charges, creating nerve-wracking moments where the submarine hopes to escape, only for the destroyer to return with more attacks. The film’s suspense hinges on this relentless pursuit, with both sides trying to outsmart each other. Another possibility could be Das Boot (1981), a German film that also features intense silent running and depth charge sequences, though its focus is more on the U-boat crew’s perspective. If you had a specific scene or detail in mind, let me know to narrow it down further!

I’ve grown bored of this. I’ll leave you with the following:

You, Swanson and Baloney are a group of autists arguing the details of a tongue in cheek troll post as if it was all meant to be real and specific. It’s been funny watching yall do this and continue to show yourselves as autists. Unfortunately my and most others’ laughs are fading, so I’m moving on. I am looking forward to the next time yall want to argue specifics over sarcasm though! Cheerio

Raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, kiwi, pineapples, carambola, potatoes, lychee... none of the aforementioned are citrus fruits.

I used none of these. It says so right on the packet

I really hope for your sake you aren't this stupid in real life. Citrus is a genus of plants, it's not generic at all. You may be surprised to find out that koolaid is not a member of that genus, regardless of color. This has been fun, but I gotta get back to work.

Now you’ve entered Boloneys level of retardation. Congrats on your victory :casty: :lol:

Am I citrus fruit?

---

Yes you're a fruit but not because of your shirt

Sorry, is orange not a citrus fruit?

Can I use protein powder in a steak challenge?

If it's a generic protein challenge, then yes.
