What do you eat for Christmas, you punks?

[McGiver]

you punks.

Baked ham.. gross!  Too salty! Its Bad for one's health and its just gross with too much salt

We're baking a sugar cured ham ... not salty. Either way, I think it's more the other preservatives (nitrites?) that may collect in the liver, too long.

Go ahead and clue me.

I am not sure exactly, but it would seem logical that you are correct.    Some extra sodium is useful for intensly training athletes, and sodium is more natural so you could be correct.  I remember reading some article saying there are precursors in vegetables that turned into nitrites by chemical process in the body of some kind. I think I remember them saying something about it being good for yeah, and something to do with these nitrites killing bad bacteria in the body.   I don't actually remember correctly though, and I want to stress  that.

You seem much calmer and more intelligent these days, Flo.

Speaking of salt, there is low sodium salt available, where just 50% of the salt is sodium chloride="normal" salt. 40-50% is potassium chloride and 10% might be magnesium chloride. Much better for the heart and blood pressure.

Hey Peter... I edited that piece of shit, and  that is probably the reason I look so calmn.  My house is in an uproar right now and its not even me, so I am far from calmn.

[Nomaken]

Mcdonalds.  Oh God, it is so good.

I have used sea salt and many other varieties for years. There are so many truly wonderful flavors of salt to explore. I taste salt and sweet very well, compared to bitter and sour (many foods, I can not taste at all) and I can really enjoy salty foods, especially. I'm not quite as enamoured of sweet foods as I am salty, but almost.

A lot of people eat ham for dinner here, too. My family does sometimes. My mom also likes to cook lasagna or baked ziti, but she's half Italian. Really what we eat varies from year to year, but it's usually something Italian.

Whatsa matter, you? Hey, why you looking so sad?

Filthy I-talians.

 

Meh. If someone doesn't get it, no major loss.

We just have cold meats like ham, turkey, chicken, which there is enough to last a whole week.

That stuff always hurts my mouth, weird

You might be over-sensitive to potassium salts. In fact, when they execute people with injections in the US, they give them an OD of potassium chloride, so that the heart stops.

That might be it- everytime I've had that LO-salt shit it felt like it was made from powdered glass.

[ozymandias]

Potassium Chloride is a key electrolyte in the hearts electrical system.   Too high or too low levels in the blood signify big problems!

Christmas fruit mince pies.

The cat ate part of one I dropped by mistake and i found a puddle of sick with bits of mince pie in it.
