It should work, but I'd be concerned about dulling the blades of my
grinder with salt. You might try a couple of crackers. Le Menagier
recommends bread be ground _after_ the spices when you're using bread to
thicken a sauce or something, because the bread ground in the mortar
will absorb the spices and eliminate waste.
