You can but a salt mill it's basically the same as a pepper mill only it has an "S" on the top screw.

Technically yes, but depending what metal the grinding mechanism is made from, the salt may corrode it.

I use Maldon salt and crush it in my fingers.

If you wish to grind Salt/ Pepper then best to go to Southampton/Earls Court Boat Show and on one of the ancillary stands that sell various other bits, there is always a stand that always sells Salt/Pepper mills that are excellent.

They have stainless parts that don't tend to wear out and are especially good for salt, they tend to be in a burma teak shell and are excellent and last for years, they are not cheap but the grinding mechanism lasts for years.

Changing demographic, no longer do I picture people with knock off wire wheels, I'm now seeing poofters in PistonHead aprons.

Whatever turns you on.

Do you think men who cook are poofters? I think Gordon Ramsey (with his wife and kids) would tell you to censored off.
