Love the pink and black color, but should have read the fine print on the back, "...used in authentic Indian Cuisine. The distinctive smell and flavor of eggs makes this salt unforgettable." The flavor is sulfur through & through. No way I can finish the bottle in a lifetime. But it got me to wondering, is sulfur a flavoring agent in different cuisines? What dishes require sulfur as a sixth taste after sweet, sour, salty, bitter and spicy? Any details or thoughts welcome. Thanks. It's wonderful to consider a new flavor.

Ones I particularly remember are from Llandrindod Wells, Bath, Vichy and a very powerful Italian one that I cannot remember the name of. I find it pointless drinking bottled water unless it tastes of something. Sat Aug 22 06:14:37 -0700 2009 4965546 154622 Paulustrious
