[Sca-cooks] Has anyone held a salt tasting?

[gaylinwalli at gmail.com]

I'm in the process of compiling my notes on salts from our researched time  
periods. At some point in the future I'd like to hold a salt tasting in our  
barony and passing along those notes in a trial run of a more formal class  
I'd like to teach. I'd be curious to know if anyone has held a salt tasting  
or attended one. Yes, I know about the articles in the Florilegium. Yes,  
I've Googled. Yes I've read Kurlansky's book and a host of others.

What I'm really looking for is what people have experienced and what they  
have found most useful or unsuccessful about the salt tastings they have  
attended. Specifically, I'm hoping to teach a mixed group of both new and  
experienced amateur cooks some things about what they can accomplish with  
various kinds of salts and how they can apply that knowledge in the context  
of cooking feasts or dinners or even just dishes that we research.

Can't wait to hear about your experiences,
