Salt - types and uses

I have:
A grinder of salt with chili

Do you use that as a dip for raw mango?

Now that sounds like a good idea.

I use pink curing salt in charcuterie. These salts have replaced saltpeter (potassium nitrate) for curing meats.

In most of Thailand (AFAIK) sliced raw mango is sold on the streets with a small plastic bag of salt mixed with chili powder for "dipping". I prefer my salt and chili powder separate though.

My wife suggested using the fleur de sel as a "dip" for the carissa carandas. An interesting conflict of flavours.
