and not just any salt, I am craving for the rock salt. That rough and coarse variety commonly used for cooking. I know too much of something is bad for you but I just couldn't resist it. I would sprinkle a little on my palm and eat the bits and pieces of salt one at a time. Crazy I know,but I am crazy for it right now.
Ever experienced anything like this before?

im crazy but not as crazy as you.... lol. i used to be addicted to uncooked rice. eating it also bits by bits. but i dont think there is something wrong with eating uncooked rice. but you are eating salt it might cause something with your body. drink a lot of water to wash down those salt.

Thanks for the advice :-). I do drink lots of water now as compared before because I know too much salt is bad for your body. The really weird thing is I am not the type who likes really salty foods, I mean I do like lots of flavor on my food but I do take hold of that salt shaker and stop when I think the taste is just right. But lately I find myself settling for a blander taste on my cooked food and then adding the salt as I eat it. A few bits here and there every time I put a morsel of food in mouth.

This is the first time I heard of people who crave for salt. *LOL* Your food isn't salty enough I guess?
I've heard my aunt wanting some rock salt because it's rare in her area, but craving is a different thing.
What's in rock salt that you like? It melts in your mouth?
Yeah it's not good for the body if you have lots of it, but anything that you eat more than the right proportions is bad.
I've heard of sweet cravings or salty-food cravings. But Salt? hehehe...

I do the same thing, especially during the summer! When I was younger I would have saltcravings almost all the time, but now it's only when it's hot and the body need more minerals... Som freshly baked bread with a little butter and salt on is well recommended as a variation.
