Your grandmother must have been a lovely lady.
I had three heart episodes which put me in the krankenhaus. First time, the no-salt diet drove me nuts. Second and third time I was ready with McD salt packets in my dopp kit. Relief! When I went in for open-heart surgery this year, after seven hours of surgery, NO diet restrictions and they even brought me a beer with supper, go figure!
BTW they `tortured’ newly captured Saddam Hussein by giving him bland food with no salt or condiments. After three weeks, when somebody waved a bag of Doritos at him, Saddam cried out, “I talk! I talk! The nukes are over there, the chemicals are over here! Please, the Doritos!!”
Salt’s well spoken of in the Bible, for goodness’ sake.
Well, you might ask Lot's wife about that...
I salute you as a veteran of The Resistance! :-)
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, you sure brought a smile. (Love the Saddam part...)
