Julie Larson began writing The Dinette Set comic in 1990, then called Suburban Torture, offering a satire on middle class culture. The Dinette Set became syndicated in 1997. When asked where Julie gets all of her ideas, she admits there is only one way to write a daily comic: write about what you know. "I make no bones about who’s really talking in The Dinette Set," says Julie, who is writer, director and cast of The Dinette Set. "If we can’t make fun of ourselves, who will?"

Actually, different sea salts and some specialty mined salts do have different flavours, but let’s face it, Joy, NaCl is NaCl is NaCl. Just make sure it’s food grade.

They aren’t Jewish, so they wouldn’t get Kosher Salt. Which exists. How salt is or is not Kosher, I have no idea.

They may go for street salt. Joy read that’s it’s cheaper in bulk.

Those two are slugs, why would they want salt?

SimpsonFan…. Kosher salt isn’t really a religious designation.
It means a kind of pure salt, with much larger, flatter grains, and usually no additives like iodine.
It’s supposedly a better size and shape for clinging to meats to draw out the blood, which is part of the process to make them Kosher.
But very few people do that…
and cooks like Martha Stewart and Julia Child recommend Kosher salt for some kinds of cooking because of the purity.
Do you think you have to be Jewish to buy bagels, or Kosher salami?

They probably eat a LOT of salt….
Radish is right, though… why haven’t they dissolved?

Cereal Plops? Canadian food has some of the highest salt content in the world. There is no need to add any more.

How can table salt taste saltier. I don’t think they use kosher or sea salts anyway. They don’t cook anyway so why use it?
Slugs??? HAHAHAHAHAHA

I’m glad you cleared that up. I buy kosher salt, just as a preference. My favorite bread is Jewish rye, seedless. I was hoping no one would ask for ID, being a goy.
When someone asks, I say “I’m not a Jew, just Jew-ish”.
Hey, you’re God’s chosen people, what’s not to like?

Phew…. Susan… I am feeling a bit out of sorts on my first day without brain bleach, but fortunately today’s panel is not too intensive in the need for that helpful elixer. I am not sure how shaky my resolve may be though when eventually the Pennys do something especially crass or grotesque.

Speaking of salt, why are people so excited about sea salt? Consider all the crap we dump in the oceans. I prefer Himalayan salt, myself.
