SC - Dish I made

[Mary Hysong]

You're right, Adamantius, sour salt is chrystalized citric acid. The lady
who wrote, however, said she was allergic to lemons and limes, but not to
oranges, so I suspect she's not allergic to citric acid. Also, citric acid
is Vitamin C, and considering how many things we need Vitamin C for our
daily food processing, anybody allergic to it would not be alive for very
long- it would be a bit like being allergic to water.
