But the salt cellar in Ireland of the humidities, quite simply, is always clogged, be it equipped with one aperture or twenty-seven, and it just, dammit, does not work. You can dislocate your wrist shaking it and all you will get is perhaps three grains of damp salt. If so you are lucky. Anybody worth their salt knows that salt is worth it, is in fact vitally necessary for a good quality of life. A boiled egg cannot be devoured without salt.
All soups lack real sustenance without salt.
Everything edible needs the grano salis. Yet this nation is groaning under the weight of salt cellars which have failed to deliver. Not a kitchen in the country but has shelves filled with a whole squat of congested salt cellars, useless, their apertures blocked with damp caked salt. They are glass with nickel caps. They are glass with plastic caps with a delivery spout which is caked solidly closed.
