Kosher Salt is this for real

Inspired by another thread.....

Kosher Salt is there such a thing??

I've heard it being metioned on american food programs!!

Does it not just mean it's been blessed by a Rabbi or something along those lines? Oy vey!

It's actually called koshering salt, but the septics call it kosher. The stuff itself isn't kosher, but is used in the 'kosherising' of meat:

I wondered about it when reading that thread.

I THEN WENT AND LOOKED IT UP FOR MYSELF!
