People pretending they can discern the difference in salt by taste in a finished dish must stop.
It depends. For the more extreme cases, like black salt (kala namak), the other minerals are as strongly flavored as the NaCl and can be very noticeable in a finished dish. Freshly evaporated sea salts from different oceans… not so much.

Vendors who claim you can tell the difference surely just have something to sel.

I’m not seeing where the Carolina Bays are made sense of. What am I missing?

sjswitzer, I should have put a question mark but I liked the symmetry. Maybe you'll make sense of them. They're kind of fascinating, aren't they?

Thanks for catching it, tavella. And sjswitzer, now you know why it wasn't making sense.
