Have you ever heard of a salt pig? They are a large version of a salt cellar. They are meant to use everyday and not just at the table at a fancy dinner. If you turn a salt pig on it's side it does resemble a side of a pig. The design is odd but it prevents from salt caking that doesn't have anti-caking properties even in humid weather. The shape keeps dirt and debris out as well as miraculously bugs steer clear completely. They come in a variety of materials mainly pottery with a hand carved wooden spoon that holds exactly 1/4 teaspoon of salt. The reason I share this with you...Orson Gygi has a delightful selection of salt pigs as well as some great salts from all over the world. You can also pick up a salt grinder to make those salts fine for your rubs. Himilayan pink salt can be found at Sunflower Market in Murray and Spoons and Spice has a great selection of salts and salt grinders as well. Have fun trying a new type of salt and a new rub on a cut of pork. I just had to pick up a pink salt pig. Until next time...
