If you haven't read all of the comments ridiculing how stupid this guy is for not knowing this, let me explain what kosher salt is once more. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_salt" rel="nofollow">Kosher salt</a> is a style of salt. It refers to the size of the grain. Specific recipes would call for kosher salt instead of table salt because it behaves differently. ALL salt is acceptable to someone who follows a kosher diet. The original post and the article it links to clearly say the man was upset that television "chefs" (plural) recommend using kosher salt for recipes. Not one chef making a mistake by assuming he was Jewish. It would be like getting mad that chefs recommend confectioner's sugar and saying - I am not a confectioner! I am a baker! And marketing regular granulated sugar as "baker's sugar", certified by bakers for bakers. But...with a ridiculous religious twist.

Second, Phenicks, do you really think you're not a troll? Because I have seen you post on four threads recently, including this one, and it seems to me that you are missing the point and the tone of the main posts, the comments, and the site. I don't see La Luba insulting Christians as a whole. You seem to want to come on here and argue a whole bunch and derail these threads.

He is but one person not a representation of all Christians. As diverse as this country is most people know better than to assume the culture or religion of anyone here regardless of what they look like. The chef's mistake was in assuming the "CHristian dude" was Jewish and the "Christian dude's" mistake was in his reaction, extremely immature. I always thought as a CHristian you simply blessed your own meals by praying before you eat, no need to call it anything other than what it is, food.
