Rock Salt, Large

tandemcap said:

On a recent Good Eats with Alton Brown, devoted to salt, large softball
sized rocks of salt were used as props. My wife jokingly made yummmmmy
sounds, as she loves salt. I want to get a large rock of salt for Mother's
Day.

Anyone know where to look? I've tried FoodTV and Alton Brown with no luck.

Thanks
Frank

You already asked this a couple of days ago. Did you even look at any
of the replies you got?

Um, several people sent you SEVERAL references!!!

Go to http://www.google.com and type in "Halite".

HALITE IS MINED SALT CHUNKS OR CRYSTALS!!!!!!!

I know you got replies, did you simply ignore them or are you a
troll?????

There are also buttloads of them on ebay.

Not knowing where you live Frank, if you can find a farm supply
nearby, a salt lick/block will approximate the salt rock.

Halite is salt as it comes from the mine (rocksalt) unpurified and not
fit for human consumption... you are the buttload.

<rolls eyes>
What-ever... Unprocessed, crystalized halite is also loaded with trace
minerals and IS fit for human consumption!

I purchase "natural raw" granulated halite/salt from the health food
store all the time.

You are ignorant.

You can buy a great big brick at any feed store.

Oh, you mean those "salt licks" they sell for cattle?

Considering I grew up on a farm with over 400 dairy cattle ... I knew that
already.

LOL! Some of the salt licks they sell are yellow. Do you know if they
have sulphur in them?
