You'll have to take my salt from my cold dead hands

by: Rob "EaBo Clipper" Eno

Fri Mar 12, 2010 at 07:02:48 AM EST



They came first for the trans fat
and I said nothing because I liked natural fat

Then they came for the soda
and I said nothing because I drank beer

Then they came for the calorie count
and I said nothing because I don't own a restaurant

Then they came for the salt
and nobody was left to speak up for me

In case you've been living under a rock, Brooklyn Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (D) has launched the latest attack at your personal freedoms. A ban on salt in restaurants.  For those not in the know salt is the basis of all cooking.  Wars were fought in ancient times over access to salt. Bread does not bake without salt.  

New York City is the restaurant capital of the world. Removing the use of salt from these restaurants will cause them to shut down putting scores of thousands of workers on the street.

This is just another peg in the unending assault on our personal freedoms.  It is time to take a stand.  It is time to yell at the top of our lungs, "you'll take my salt from my cold dead hands."

A law I can agree with (5.00 / 1)
Massachusetts: Tomatoes may not be used in the production of clam chowder

I ordered Clam Chowder in a Legal's in Washington DC... (5.00 / 1)
I was wearing a Red Sox hat.

My wife was wearing a Patriots hat.

They asked what kind of Chowder I wanted, Manhattan or New England.

I made a scene.

"You're kidding me right?"  I asked.

Other waitresses, stopped to look in my direction, and my wife buried her head in her hands.

"no" The waitress said.

"I came to Legal's Seafood with a Red Sox hat on, order Chowder and you ask me a question like that?" I exclaimed.

"There is only one kind of Clam Chowder, and it doesn't have tomatoes in it!" I added.

"I understand" she said with a smile and walked away.

Another waitress came over and said.

"She's from New Hamphire too, she should know better."

goes to the first person to pictorially document themselves and one other person breaking each of these laws in the jurisdiction in which they are enforced.

Except the one about tomatoes in clam chowder.  Manhattan Clam Chowder is an affront to humanity and the almighty and should be outlawed.

I'm going to stand in front of an upscale eatery and sell little packets of salt to the patrons...with a small upcharge of course.

Way it's (0.00 / 0)
been presented to me is that the ban would be on salt put IN the food....haven't heard anything about taking shakers offa tables.

Like who would ever want to force salt-free food in restaurants AND no salt at the table....that would be as crazy as.....banning...

Never mind....JH might be trolling.

Gross Stupidity (0.00 / 0)
Not only is salt essential to many dishes and baked goods - but if it is not properly introduced into the dish as it is prepared, then the diner will use an inordinate amount of cellar salt on the surface in an effort to achieve the same flavor.

This nanny-state proposal is backwards thinking at its finest.


Thank you for equating denying you salt with the Holocaust... (0.00 / 0)

Salt is (0.00 / 0)
A necessary ingredient and spice for many meals.  The different between many of the meals we cook at home and those that we pay more for when we eat out is the appropriate use of salt to call out the flavors in whatever we are eating.  Watch a cooking show and the losers often are the ones who do not know how to use salt (or worse yet, don't use any).

I will be stocking up on my various forms of salt and will be willing to sell them should this ever go into effect.

As an aside, Bloomberg should be impeached for this.  He is the person who adds salt to his popcorn and saltines.  Maybe he is just projecting his own weakness.
