Tell me why salt bread tastes so good? Like itâs just bread thatâs fluffy and salty? What is this magic⌠why am I so entranced by itâŚ
Iâd describe it as the Asian cousin of a croissant, not similar in texture but reminiscent in flavour profile.
(If youâre visiting Korea Iâm referring to the famous Jayeondo and Soha Saltpond⌠I prefer Soha mainly because they have Salt Milk)

salted butter + salted peanut butter + flaky sea salt
A THIN layer of butter, then like a very loose natural peanut butter thatâs just peanuts and salt (crunchy if you wish), then whatever flaky sea salt you have on hand (Maldon, or the like). âToo oily! Too salty!â youâre probably thinking. It is not. Itâs heaven.

The other night I fell asleep on the couch around 10:00 pm watching Joseph Campbellâs Mythos I. I woke up around 4:30 am, washed my face and brushed my teeth.
This invigorated me to the point that I basically wasnât falling back asleep, so I ended up looking up different brands of finishing salts for two hours in bed.
Fleur De Sel and Maldon Sea Salts are not salts that you want to cook with, but that you want to sprinkle atop things as âfinishing saltsâ.
In my research I discovered that GuĂŠrande or Camargue fleur de sels are top brands to use. And with Maldon, the brand just called Maldon. I have Maldon sea salts and also Sal de Ibiza fleur de sel which is really good. It comes in a ceramic pot with a little spoon. I recommend both and you donât need a lot, a little goes a long way.
From Wikipedia:
âFleur de sel ("flower of salt" in French; French pronunciation: [flĹĘ dÉ sÉl]) or flor de sal (also "flower of salt" in Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan) is a salt that forms as a thin, delicate crust on the surface of seawater as it evaporates. Fleur de sel has been collected since ancient times (it was mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his book Natural History), and was traditionally used as a purgative and salve. It is now used as a finishing salt to flavor and garnish food.â
From Maldon Salt website:
âWhat is special about Maldon Salt?
Maldon Saltâs irregular and distinctive pyramid shape is what makes it so special. In addition to the unique tactile texture, our pyramid salt flakes release saltiness with sweet precision, bringing a clean and delicate flavour.â
Some uses:
Vegetables.
Pastas.
Meats if you do that.
Watermelon or mango.
A chocolate chip cookie, fresh from the oven, topped with Maldon sea salt. I linked Alison Romanâs recipe above for Salted Butter and Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies above. Warning: these cookies may horn you for life, and cause you to eat many. If you give them to people theyâll keep asking you to make them over and over again. Perfect trifecta of sweet but not too sweet, savory, and salty.
A little toast with mashed avocado, sliced tomate, Maldon sea salt or fleur de sel on top. Can also serve with scrambled egg on the side with some Green Pepper Cholula on top (green flame emoji).
A warm blueberry muffin, or toasted croissant (I pronounce this with an audible ârâ) cut in half, some vegan (Miyokoâs, Earth Balance Soy Free) or whatever other (Kerrygold) butter melted in the middle, and a little fleur de sel or Maldon sea salt.
Do you use finishing salts? What do you use them on? How do you love them?
I try to watch my sodium but Iâm a little bit of a salt guy in moderation. Donât call me âsalt baeâ. Iâm only bae to one woman and one woman only, and thatâs my wife, the most beautiful woman in the world.

I am Danish so I am and will be biased on this â forcefully.
This is the single greatest form of candy to have ever existed.
â¨Periodâ¨
It's not too sweet, too salty or too dull to not be candy. No competition.

And youâre set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
Iâve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but Iâve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (Iâm not sure how to phrase it). And Iâm the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr⌠over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with⌠and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. Iâve also been so inspired by the circle of friends Iâve got now.
Itâs not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously,
I love my friends.
