Pinch of salt measurer / dispenser

[Bob Buzzard]

Does anyone know where you can get one of those pinch of salt measurers/dispensers? I like to follow recipes exactly when I cook so need to have correct amounts of ingredients. I enquired at that shop on LL but they looked befuddled when I asked, but I do like shopping locally if possible.

[DulwichFox]

I think they took your request with a Pinch of Salt.

One pinch of table salt converted to grams equals 0.36 g.

These are the sort of questions they should have asked Trump and Biden last night.

They have pinch of salt dispensers at Aldi in Peckham, I think they are next to the splash of milk jugs

Do you mean something like this : https://thisismold.com/object/kitchenware/alessi-pizzico-pinch-of-salt#.X3TiiB7TU0M ?

Not sure if it's something you can get locally but I'm sure if you show a local shop this then they can either order one for you or worst case scenario you may have to go online to order it

Are they young people in that shop on LL? If so, they probably don't know what a pinch of salt means, either literally or as an actual action!

The Daily Mail had an article today about words that people aged 18-30 years didn't know the meaning of (of bygone sayings)! 40 per cent didn't know what 'sozzled' meant.

Someone always has to ruin a potentially good thread with a dose of reality.

I suppose if you can't put your forefinger and thumb together you're in trouble when cooking

Sorry I'm sure ! Lol

Was Bob trying to ironic in his initial post because if he was then I obviously failed to take it with the pinch of salt he is after.

But Alan m , please don't rub salt in to my wounds for missing the gag 😱 as I now feel like I've been asSALTed !

Great, it goes against my credo of local shopping for local people, but I'll have a look. How big are those splash of milk jugs?

Slightly smaller than the dash of milk jugs

[Bob Buzzard]

Can you have a dash of milk? I thought it was alwAys a splash?

I can supply pinches of salt, to customer's specification, pre-packed in plastic bags. Minimum order one gross. Contact me for a quotation.

I put a pinch of salt on my mobile earlier... now it's a saxophone.

That's quite funny actually.

very witty- you could've used some poetic licence and spelled it 'saxa-phone'

[Bob Buzzard]

Saxophone is better as you don?t get the joke initially, then laugh out load.
