“Probably one of the most private things in the world is an egg until it is broken.”

— M.F.K. Fisher, food writer (1908-1992)

“As far back as 6050 BC, salt has been an important
an integral part of the world’s history, as it has
been interwoven into countless civilizations. Used as
a part of Egyptian religious offerings and valuable trade
between the Phoenicians and their Mediterranean
empire, salt and history have been inextricably
intertwined for millennia, with great importance
placed on salt by many different cultures. Even
today, the history of salt touches our daily lives.
The word “salary” was derived from the word “salt.”
Salt was highly valued and its production was legally
restricted in ancient times, so it was historically used
as a method of trade and currency. The word “salad”
also originated from “salt,” and began with the early
Romans salting their leafy greens and vegetables.
Undeniably, the history of salt is both broad and
unique, leaving its indelible mark in cultures
across the globe.”
