Salt would be a problem. Especially on the prairies where we could have the privilege of dying from thyroid disease due to a lack of iodine like my grandmother. The good old days weren’t always so good.

Can’t help with the cure (I buy it done, just add the pickling spices) but kosher salt has coarse grains and no iodine, so coarse sea salt should be close enough.

It’s also a great natural source of iodine, which helps to prevent goiters (those big neck bulges—actually an enlarged thyroid gland—you see in some older folks).

This formerly top tier neighborhood brew pub now ranks lower than the Red Robin “spirits emporium” at Tanfo- ran Mall. The IPA and Porter had a sameness- was it iodine or Simple Green? never mind, I plan a return visit....

. We would cut them open and eat the bright yellow substance inside, which tasted strongly of iodine. Does anyone know what these things are called in English (or Japanese)? Are they available in U.S. seafood or sushi places?

called Kombu noodles. They are in the refrigerated case and don’t require any cooking. I could eat these every day, all day. I just need to watch that I don’t get an iodine overdose.

Let the iced tea come fully to room temperature before you put it in the fridge. If you want to be able to keep the tea more than that day without it tasting like iodine, then use decaf tea bags. You can use any tea, that is, you...

app was excellent, as he said. The grilled calamari was even better. Grilled shrimp with vermicelli was mixed: shrimp deliciously marinated and grilled but a little iodine-y; pickled carrot and jicama perfect; noodles okay; very...

One big difference here in the U.S. is that it doesn’t have iodine it, the way U.S. “regular” table salt does. Also, although you can get a “fine grain” kosher salt, it often comes in larger grains...

The uni was delicious. Very fresh tasting. Firm with no iodine flavor as uni sometimes has if it is not perfectly fresh. I have a recipe I got in Japan for spaghetti made with a sauce of uni, tobiko and butter with shaved nori as...

I agree with you re table salt. I can taste the iodine. The only thing is, I guess we all need at least a little iodine, and I don’t know where else we get it (besides shellfish, I guess). I buy very little processed food,...

I found Uigedail to be a much more powerful taste, more peat and especialy more Iodine on the pallate, but Lagavullin is a much more balanced dram, and probably the best whisky on the nose that I have found.

Bar: loved eating outside, my grilled fish sandwich was ok not great, companions fried shrimp poor boy had "iodine"tasting shrimp; Shrimp Basket: good but watery oysters (due to heavy rains), good fried shrimp poor boy, great...

When she was old enough to ask for it to be passed or, failing that, arm-wrestle the darn salt-shaker out of her father’s briney mitts. No, seriously, your 14-month old will not suffer an iodine deficiency and that would be...

in a lobster reduction and the paella. The pasta and sauce were perfect, but the shrimp was just a little sub par, overcooked with a slight iodine tinge. The paella was also excellent and the portion large enough fro lunch the...
