Vanilla Salt

Unexpectedness is important. It’s what makes Christmas morning exciting. It’s why the first three seasons of Lost were so much fun.

Vanilla salt is unexpectedness in an easily-sprinkled form. It’s the floral, warming spice you already know, but in places you don’t expect it.

Try in rubs, on roasted new potatoes, or sprinkled on chocolate chip cookies.

Just make sure your unexpectedness has a point, unlike the last three seasons of Lost.
