Poor Judy, all she asked was if anyone knew of a seasoning salt with
jalapeno peppers in it!!!! Boy, has she had a surprise, started a whole
new thread, complete with a forest fire(flames)! Personally, the only
salt mixture that I use is celery salt, and only in spagetti sauce, to
enhance the celery flavor(US spelling!)in the sauce before I add all the
hot stuff...I have been accused by northern Italians of being an Irish
Canadian from Sicily....not true! I also watch the salt intake, because
the Bible says....All things in moderation, and that goes whether you
are Muslem, Jewish or whatever! Soo, hopefully this will end the thing,
or maybe not! Cheers, Doug in BC, and I still will not eat TRIPE,
Mexican, Italian, Greek or whatever!
