SC - Re: New World Foods: Rant/ Counter Rant (Long)

[Decker, Terry D.]

Raw potato helps remove excess salt from a soup or a stew when you've been a
little heavy handed with the salt shaker.  One period technique to do the
same is to hang a bag of oatmeal in the soup or stew.

Neither technique is designed to handle the quantity of salt found in salt
preserved foods.
