You never know what will happen when you confess a weakness in a public forum.

In today’s paper, I shared my deep and unabated love for hot French fries with salt all over them.

As I expected, I have plenty of company out on that salty limb.

Jeffrey Mount at Wright’s Gourmet Cafe in south Tampa e-mailed to me:

“Got a laugh out of your comments today. My wife asks if I’m putting popcorn on the salt. I tell her I’m saving on funeral costs.”

Tell her that when they bury you, they can throw salt on your grave, Jeff.

I am nothing if not a ray of salty sunshine.

What say you? Is salt the root of all evil or an irresistable pleasure? What salty food do you enjoy?
