: A Dash of Salt
Nov 6, 2006

Salt, pepper and garlic powder are staples in my cabinet. I season just about anything with that combo. On sandwiches you apply that right on the tomato and you can’t go wrong.

Salty is one of the seven basic flavors our tongue can detect, along with bitter, sour, astringent, sweet, pungent and umami. To achieve limitless sense of taste, our tongue is aided by our nose with it’s sense of smell. Don’t get too carried away with the salt though, I once had a bunch dump on some movie popcorn, which I decided to eat anyway, the next morning I woke up with my face all swollen up and extremely thirsty.

  3. Lee says:

    Dontcha just love those packets that say “no added salt”? What they mean is, “there’s already a ton of salt in there, why should we add more?”

  7. Wyrdo says:

    salts real bad for you never add more there enough in foods anyway

  8. qtpa2tnh says:

    Wyrdo , salt (Sodium Cloried) is good for you , because it help’s defeat girms . Garlic is Very good for you . It cleans your veins and arteries . You know how when you cut into garlic , it’s sticky? It sticks to your veins and arteris and the left-over oxidents will stick , and since garlic has some acid , it will destroy them .

  9. qtpa2tnh says:

    Thank you , Tyler , but you had no other chioce ! FunBrain.com has the comic “Breakfast”,so if you did not get A Dash Of Salt done by tomorrow , funbrain would have to SKIP A COMIC !

  10. qtpa2tnh says:

  11. old guy says:

  13. Wyrdo says:

    I’m sorry qtpa2tnh for the mistake but too much salt is bad for you is it not. Ah well if i’m wrong i’m wrong i am after all human and we all make mistakes.

  14. andrew says:

  15. just_another_penguin_lover says:

    i hate it when that happens to me… but that is a great trick to play on some one…hehe just unscrew the top of the salt shaker and leave the top on and wait for a victim…. Love osbornes face!! Well atleast he wont have to taste the nasty oatmeal.

  16. BriGuy says:

    Oh.. my favorite meal, oatmeal with tons of salt on it. It is almost like Wally is trying to kill Osborne, first smashing him in the bunk bed, then feeding him moldy oatmeal and now trying to dehydrate him to death. 😐 Just like someone said in the last comic, I’d just stick to Wally’s chocolate.

  17. Idunno says:

    That’s hilarious.
    😀

  18. Carlyneese says:

    I wonder what it taste like?

    ewwwww no I dont

  19. Cristina says:

    Hey qtpa2tnh, It’s Sodium Chloride, not Cloried. And yes, it can be bad for you.

  20. Carlyneese says:

    Hey know lets be nice

    We dont want to start a commotion

  21. Cristina says:

    It’s all good,
    I do like salt, popcorn, french fries (especially french fries!!!) and many other things…

  31. Phizlo says:

    Hey, at funbrain.com, the new comic on there is a water balloon comic. And that’s old! Why didn’t they put the breakfast one? 😕

  32. Carlyneese says:

    CAUSE THEY ARE WIERD THATS WHY

    I DONT KNOW?

  33. Cristina says:

    The funbrain comic must have a glitch because it dosen’t even start at the right day.

  34. Captain Steven the Pirate says:

    ARGH! We use salt on the high seas, to keep our fish fresh. Although, I doubt we’d ever put that much salt on a fish. ARGH!

  35. Ferrety Penguin says:

    thats how much i put on my fries

  36. Carlyneese says:

    COOL ARE YOU A REAL PIRATE?

    IF YOU ARE

    COOL 🙂

  37. purple people eater says:

    Haha I have a donut from krispy kream
    yumm
    I always heard that salt could kill you
    maybe I’m wrong but qtpa2tnh’s comment sounded better
    ha I got the q right this time!

  38. Jonah says:

    Too much salt is REALLY bad for you. And the reason Funbrain has a water ballon comic now is because they skipped some comics. ARE i be a irate too!

  39. Cristina says:

    Cool! A Pirate!
    Are you a Ninja Pirate or just a regular Pirate?
    Because if you were a Ninja Pirate that would be really cool.

  40. purple people eater says:

    I don’t think there is such a thing as a ninja pirate Cristina
    😉

  41. purple people eater says:

    haha I love the sound the salt makes when it comes out…
    Klump!

  42. Carlyneese says:

    SRRY (BLUSHING) 😛

  44. Cristina says:

    There is too such a thing as a ninja pirate, they are the single most coolest thing ever…

  45. qtpa2tnh says:

    Photograph , by Nickelback : Look at this photograph ,
    Every time I look it makes me laugh.
    Good byeye , good byeyeye.
    Whoaoa whoa whoa , whoaoa ,
    And a memory goes out the back door,
    Then comes back in through the front dooroor,
    Sound asleep,sound asleep ,
    Good byeye , good byeyeye …

  46. purple people eater says:

    Whatever you say Cristina…:p

  47. Roi says:

    Er, I don’t think that made the oatmeal any more tasty. Maybe more dry, though. But do not fear! Hot water and sugar should be able to null the salt’s taste and make it taste WORSE. I also recommend fruit juice, pencil shreddings, and mint. That should officially make the worst breakfast ever, next to licking the floor. So, to avoid the horrible breakfast, they should go find a puddle and do some Wally-style fishing. They haven’t eaten much since they started the journey for a home.

    I never did like much salt on anything except potatoes and meat, and only potatoes if there isn’t enough butter around. Anyways, to me, pepper is better.

  48. Roi says:

    Cristina, I’m going to be shot for opening up a ninja/pirate debate. But… Why are pirates held in the idea that they are something special? They’re sailors. They attack other sailors and the occasional ports. I see nothing all that likable about them.

    And people that have not had oatmeal… Buy some! It’s great and tasty in more than half of a way! Cinnamon and sugar on it… Mmm. ^_^ Not salt. I think everything looks better when it doesn’t have a pile of salt on it.

  49. qtpa2tnh says:

    I have to go , guys . It’s late , bye ! l – ZZZ )
