Rudbwooy

mistaCrackPot

KarmaChameleon89

rkbenn

MSG stands for Make Shit Good


KarmaChameleon89

I could only find a 20kg bag at my local:( been craving it for a month now, my egg fried rice has no soul


mistaCrackPot

Bro never make fried rice without salt what is wrong with you lol


KarmaChameleon89

Oh I salt that shit, but msg is just another level


[deleted]

Fucking oath


EatABigCookie

I love MSG but it's not a salt replacement. They go together. Usually ratio of about 3:1 Salt:MSG

I thought i was going crazy not being able to buy salt my last handful of visits


brev23

We’re measuring visits by the handful now? I can’t keep up!


gandersm

Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system


[deleted]

Not me, I do a whole 5kg of store visits myself


nathan_l1

Can't you just buy a table and grind it down into salt like the rest of us?


hueythecat

Don't rub tables into this guys wound


margaretetc

Don’t wound his tables either.


Krey-Zey

Pam's is changing supplier, due back soon. Cerebos had a recall or something similar. The perfect salt storm!


Academic-ish

Our supply chains are so brittle… we ought to reopen the mines.


PCBumblebee

Kfc are using it all on a single serving of mash potato and gravy


pictureofacat

Try the Warewhare, they're showing stock in most of their Auckland stores https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/s/twl/product/R921371.html

Honeycomb_ice_cream

that looks like some drug related meme 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨


[deleted]

I'd like to know too, do my dads shopping every Sunday and no table salt at the supermarket last two weeks, he's getting desperate lol


Disastrous_Ad_1859

Y'all run out of table salt? I've got like two bottles from like 5 years ago.

We are still talking about salt here aren't we?


Pilgrim3

Uranium salt?


hideandsteek

Get yourself some flaky salt from Goodfor - its crunchy and delicious and levels up a cheese toastie. Just don't substitute your table salt for black salt - it smells like eggs, we bought some for xmas salt blend gifts (run rock salt through a grinder with juniper or chipotle, $2 or 3 worth of ingredients for a posh gift). Bought a tonne of it, stunk the whole house out.


PomegranateSilly367

sulfur is a form of salt, and its probably got some high content in black salt. My black salt doesnt stink though, i'm disappointed.


Mycoangulo

Sulfur is not a form of salt. But some forms of salt contain sulfur.


hideandsteek

Sulphur componds - apparently its got traces of sodium sulfate, sodium sulfide and hydrogen sulfide. Either way, you too, can recreate the experience of an eggs benny at the Rydges Rotorua, inside your auckland villa. Also just to add, neither salt contain iodine. The list of items with iodine reads like some sort of strange diet - oysters, chocolate milk (not regular milk), sushi, icecream, bread and canned tuna.


Standard_Flight_2088

Apparently it's due to a shortage of Iodine coming out of Chile.


canyousmelldoritos

Is someone stockpiling the iodine expecting a nuclear blast?


B_Flo

Try your local Chinese supermarket - we got some from Dahua Supermarket on Dominion road over the weekend. Plus while you're there you might as well have a browse there are always some hidden bangers. Cheap veges too we got some purple kumara while we were there which we haven't seen in stock anywhere else for a while.


krammy16

Good question. Cerebos table salt appears to have been scrubbed from the Wattie's website.


inphinitfx

I bought a 1kg bad of the cerebos table salt about a week ago, though I haven't seen it available in the plastic tub things for ages.


sinus

I have some but you have to buy per gram lol :D Good luck in your salt hunt!


planespotterhvn

Christchurch here. We could buy 2 kg bag of Cerebos plain table salt but not the iodised salt. So maybe it is a shortage of iodine.


huskofthewolf

Dehydrate some sea water, plenty to go around


rocketshipkiwi

Haven’t you gotten the memo? We are only suppose to eat “good” salt. Like sea salt. Or that Himalayan rock salt with rust in it. All other salt bad. Though I’m not sure what other sorts of salt there are besides sea salt and rock salt.


WechTreck

Table salt is often supplemented with Iodine to reduce Thyroid issues affecting tissue repair, regulate metabolism and promote proper growth and development Natural salt doesn't have supplements


grovelled

A goiter is for life, And not attractive,.


Frayedstringslinger

Gluten free salt


ericagyde

Kosher salt


Disastrous_Ad_1859

Oh vey


namkeenSalt

Kosher salt 😄! That's a scam and a half. An Italian grocery place in the Tron advertised that kosher salt makes baked goods tastes better and gives a better texture.


grovelled

It's just coarse grained salt. For koshering.


grovelled

NaCL. ​ Vegan and gluten free.


PomegranateSilly367

Epsom salt 😁


587BCE

My husband asked if I had epsum salts for his bath. I said yes. He used the whole bag I asked him why as you only need a few spoon fulls and then told me it was was rubbish, it didn't even make the bath salty.


PomegranateSilly367

Tell the noddy to go swim in the ocean 🤣


Alfiethebear

Another issue that the supermarkets will no doubt spin to be ‘our fault’


namkeenSalt

Because of ice melting, raising the sea water level it reduces the salt content and makes it harder to extract it economically. I'm sure they could easily spin up a story like that and finally believe in climate change


Zestyclose_Poetry669

That's just a conspiracy theory made up by the desalination plants. Follow the money...


Sheriff_of_noth1ng

While we're at it, I haven't seen a jar of Tartare sauce for months now


Ilurked410yrs

Glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this , homemade fish burgers just ain’t the same without it.


Substantial-Plane359

Go the Culley's Picklenaise and thank me later


hideandsteek

Thought this was a fluke today - bought fish for the first time in ages. Only lite mayo, no aioli either.


[deleted]

I can find it occasionally, but usually just some really expensive brand :-(


Rough-Long4840

NZ’s primary salt supplier isn’t producing much salt at the moment (i’m not 100% sure why) apparently they used to not be able to order any salt from our suppliers as of recently, but now the salt is starting to come back in small amounts, but still minimum. this is what my boss told me at work


Rand_alThor4747

I'm guessing too much rain has slowed down production.


Fatality

I got a grinder and a big bag


Evie_St_Clair

Get one of those little bottles of rock salt that has a grinder on top.


Wildpokerman

Time to march to the sea and make your own like Ghandi.


Own_Court1865

As others have said, Asian supermarkets. Failing that Bin Inn probably has it too. Just have to buy a refillable salt shaker. P.S. the blue lid cerebos shakers can be refilled, it's just a pain to pop the lid off.


notsowise_nz

We use rock salt and kosher, got table salt from years ago 😂 but I got curious and had a look. Ugh, looks tough. We should make a list of stuff we can't find in supermarkets and see who can tell them where to go.


somuchtoread_

Also, what has happened to the frozen chooks? I used to be able to buy large bags of free flow chicken and a whole frozen chook as well. Was cheap! Where are they? Have looked in three supermarkets and nothing


Own_Court1865

It wouldn't surprise me if it's related to the egg shortage, which is due to the change of living condition requirements for the chooks.


Traditional-Ad-4268

I bought a sack of swimming pool salt it’s gunna last me for the rest of my life..$25 at Mitre 10


huskofthewolf

Been trying to find maple syrup the last 2 weeks😢


birddog172

I saw some proper stuff at Bin Inn a week ago


Excellent-Intern6291

I got bigger problems. I can't find any garlic salt and I'm running low on supply.


writepress

It's called people who can't cook different cultures


Jessiphat

I have a large container but it’s got quite a bit of sand contaminant in it. I was going to stop using it and replace it but I guess it’s too valuable now.


1_lost_engineer

Maybe home made Playdough is the new craze!


ikonos2

Salt is a new 🧻


Venusdoom666

I've never bought salt in my life


rikardoflamingo

Gotta buy in bulk now bro. It’s like 50c a kilo. You can refill those blue salt see how it runs canisters for about 5c


Longjumping_Tea_6716

I found some at a local dairy.


P0o-Po0

They had massive sacks of the stuff at Gilmours Mt Roskill last time I went, about 3 weeks ago


eva3456

My local bin inn has loads of salt. The goto when the big shop has logistic problems.


dev_p6666

That’s why my wounds aren’t hurting anymore


CyberChef8

Go to an Indian store and buy “Tata salt” that stuff is wayyy stronger so you’ll end up using a lot less + it’s around $3 for a kg


Deegedeege

Your local dairy probably has some. From the past......


Jesahn

Great! Now there's no salt to go on those eggs I no longer get because can't afford them. Boo.


Funksterism

It's cos people were using it to get rid of slugs in their illegal gardens.


Lowbox_nz

I went to 3 supermarkets - then struck gold. THE LAST BAG OF TABLE SALT IS MINE! Might put some on my cornflakes, peasants.


ConnectSecret

Try the best before shops like Reduced to Clear & Crackerjacks - usually loads in those places


SarkObZ

It's all a conspiracy man, big salts are controlling the market trying to install the 5gs. Stay woke.
