Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky
3.0
Interesting albeit not always engaging.
It was nice to get a broad cross-section of topics, although these felt narratively scattershot at times. Understandable given how nebulous the subject matter is.
Some satisfying etymologies. I really could have done without so many ye olde worlde recipes for salted foods being quoted in detail.
