Salt
Salt, something we take for granted nowadays, but in not-so-ancient history, salt was such a valuable commodity Roman soldiers used to be paid their wages in salt. Mark Kurlansky is 'worth his salt'. He wrote a whole book about one of the world's most common seasonings. Meet him this week on Food For Thought.

Mark Kurlansky is the author of Salt, A World History. It is published by Vintage Canada. ISBN 0-676-97535-6 There is a website for the book, www.saltbook.com , where you can find out much more about salt. Better take a glass of water with you!
