Thanks Lee Heggy.
Interesting how today we take salt for granted.
Yeah Sam, I remember as a kid on the farm we didn't have a freezer so what we couldn't keep cool in the springhouse ot in the rootceller was usually salted/smoked or pickled to preserve it. It was a treat to duck into the springhouse on a hot day and have a dipper of cold milk. We would also put a couple of bottles of grapejuice or cider in a bucket that had a lid on it and holes in the bottom and then lower it into the well. Real tasty stuff. Simpler times that I miss.
