I paid 30.00 for a truffle salt and yeah, a total waste. I have added dried lemon zest to salt which worked well though, so I guess it depends on the source somewhat.
I think my smoked salt was about $5. I don't use it very often but I do like it. My DH doesn't love smoke flavor as much as I do.

@In A Pickle the best wings I ever had were at a BBQ joint in Austin, TX called the Green Mesquite and I had their smoked wings. OMG

Oh no we can’t start talking about wings 🤤 I’m a little bit hungry but totally powered down for the evening. I can’t start making wings at 9.20pm!

I love mesquite but it is very intense and can totally dominate, so there is that.

It's my favorite wood with hickory being a close second. It's in my gene pool I think given that I have a ton of family in Texas. Granted they are mostly in SE Texas so close to Louisiana that it's not really considered Texas (swamp country with a heavy Cajun influence).

Here's a photo I pulled off the internet:

India is definitely not for everyone and for example, in Delhi on a major street every single mode of transportation is evident. I've seen camels, elephants, donkeys, horses, tons of dogs and monkeys and of course tuk tuks, rickshaws either powered, pulled by people or animals, cars, motorcycles, it's absolutely a crazy thing to see.

I remember the first time I tried to cross a major street on my first day which are crazy wide. I'm pretty aggressive and normally have no problem in any city in heavy traffic but this just had me guessing and being terrorized thinking how the hell am I going to cross the street, seriously.

Anyway a business man noticed by reluctance and asked if i wanted to cross the street and if he could help, and of course I said yes, now get this! He said follow directly behind me as close as you can and do exactly what i do and whatever you do do not change your rhythm or do any stop and starts. apparently the drivers see and adjust to pedestrian movement and generally it's fundamental to staying alive. It took me over a week in the general sense to get use to the pulse of India, because it has one. :-p

Actually, Paris and Rome are kinda' like that. :ROFLMAO:

Mesquite is very strong, and seldom used in Texas BBQ, even though it is plentiful here. I have used it for grilling steaks, and it is great for that. But for any low and slow cooking, it is too strong for my tastes.

I always found flavored salts a rip off, especially the ones where the flavor came from the poop end of an animal, sure, that must be the difference. :-p
I thought that was coffee beans!
Anyone watch that movie The Bucket List? Remember when Jack Nicholson was telling Morgan Freeman about the coffee beans from monkey poop?


 
There was a cooking show once during the time when they all became so popular. Food Network hosted many of them. One was an Indian woman who greatly explained how they do curries. I wish I could remember her name - it was a good show and probably worth watching to get an idea of some things as North Americans we would understand and do.
Maybe it was Maneet Chauhan? She's a popular Indian chef.

Edit. Never mind! 😂
