you ever just damn near poison yourself with salt

i mean

literal salt

First time I grocery shopped alone, I found “salt pork” and thought it would taste good. Tossed it in a pan like a regular pork chop, fried it up, and took a bite. 

Turns out “salt pork” is supposed to be used, essentially, as a seasoning. You put a small piece of it in your chili,  your beans, or whatever, and it adds salty, porky flavor. You are not supposed to eat it straight. 

Drank 3 glasses of water that all tasted like brine, then gave the remainder of the pork to my dad to use in chili.
