Item 0430 BLACK SALT - lumps
    From India, this has a stronger flavour than ordinary salt. Black 
salt might be just the thing for the 'lower tables' at a feast, to show 
their reduced status by contrast with the pure white salt served in 
the Great Salt at the head table. Powder the lumps in your mortar.
