A Different Kind Of Craving

Seriously, I am addicted to salt. It’s no joke! Really, I AM addicted to salt. Salt to me is like sugar to sugar addicts, maple syrup to pancake lovers, cheesecake to the fromage crowd, cola to the fad-crazed adolescent who is into mass commercialism and crappy drink laced with phosphoric acid, espresso to the caffeine-addict (btw, I have a friend who downs around three of these potent blends before bedtime and still manage to sleep like a baby; you know who you are). Me on the other hand have never been able to handle a caffeine fix, my hands would tremble after a latté (can u believe that?!). That would then be followed by heart palpitation, cold sweat, a mild bit of hallucination; general restlessness and whole lot more of really abnormal physical and mental reactions. 
 
I have always wanted to know, just what is the ratio between the sugar addicts and the very few salt addicts out there? Lemme see  (slowly going over friends and their taste preference..), it’s sugar, sugar, sugar, another sugar, sugar again and finally a “sambal” fan. But then again, there is another chilli fan too! Guess that I am not a total weirdo afterall..
 
But then again, why are there not much people who like me, appreciates the wonders of salt? Salt is a wonderful addition to foodstuff. I love soy sauce, I love the savoury taste of cheese, I love potato chips but the best of all, I love salt on my fruits. All salt lovers, please come out and shout it out!!!
 
I especially love salt with pineapples, green Granny Smith apples, oranges, limes, tomatoes (mmm..), guavas, mangoes, cucumber and watermelon (sometimes). Of all mentioned, the best has got to be TOMATOES! Tomatoes go wonderfully with salt. Have you tried it? This is the reason why I love tomato juice. The salty taste of tomato juice is sure to be tantalizing. I savour every bit and drop from the bottle every time I get myself one. I cannot bear the regretful feeling if I miss a single drop. Someone once told me that he can’t understand my love for this juice, it seem like blood to him. And it tasted that way too (or so it seemed to him).
 
My point is: the essence of tomato juice that makes it so freaking wonderful is of course, salt.
 
Advantage: Haha, I don’t get sucked into the crappy dessert thing cuz plainly; I am not in the least bit interested. And I don’t have to go on chocolate binge to keep me on a constant high (so I can’t be bribed). And I can greedily indulge in all main courses, cuz that is where all the salt is.
 
So people, don’t buy me chocolates anymore, okay?
 
Bad….: I am definitely overdosing. Kidney failure is definitely not a risk to be taken lightly.
 
So fellow friends, if you have an even weirder craving and eating preference, please don’t hesitate to speak it out. I don’t want to be the only weirdo over here… hehe

That’s all for today. Maybe I will write something about boozing some other day.

p/s: Tomato fans unite! Check this out! Yummy!!!!!
