I couldn't make the title more creative than Mr. Kurlansky himself. Codfish are apparently very hard things in hardtown. There are a lot of ways to say "salt town." The Celts and Gauls are some things i want to pretend never existed, thanks to the enjoyment of music/music appreciation/music theory, can i get an AMEN?!
This chapter is soo painful to read, i'll be honest. Except that a ton of it is about beards, which are obviously awesome. They found people preserved by salt. These guys had a lot of facial hair. Some dead salty womancorpses had braids. This is strange and possibly my least creative blog yet. I hate this chapter. Was this blog supposed to be blogged yesterday?
How does one salt mine? Now, don't they get it from salt water a lot?
ALAS something slightly interesting. The Celts loooved pig, unlike Egyptians. Favorite people people got the boar leg (that would be my sister). Except she is not a warrior, for anyone who has seen us wrestle. They fought over the ham.. The back ham was the best, whoever won, ate it. Apparently there was only one pig back to go around.
A VENISON RECIPE! Pay close attention, whatever you do, do not let it come in contact with water. It doesn't say why, just do not. I wouldn't dare.
My name was once Vercingetorix, but i had it changed, substitute teachers pronounced it wrong all the time. He led the Celts to great nudey victories. In case the nakedness was not intimidating enough, they had crazy war cries and terrifying songs, not unlike Erica's prank calling noises. They had horns, and often did the viking bison disco inferno dance.
That last piece of information was false.
That is all i found notable. I have a new theory on Sir Kurlansky. I believe he is entirely obsessive compulsive. I am authorized to submit credible diagnoses because i have the title of aspiring psychiatrist and an obsessive compulsive in my home. I will prescribe him medication. Honestly, who else can focus on salt and fish for 452 PAGES!? Just because he has a personality disorder doesn't mean he's not a ..masterpiece maker?
dodgy.
why don't my paragraphs separate themselves?!

Codfish is a subject that Kurlansky writes about in another book, so I think there is a bit of cross over here.
I don't understand what your issue is with the Celts or Gauls? You don't like Irish music maybe?
"painful to read?" Why did you sign up for honors class? You will be reading about history quite a bit in my class. It is a reading intensive course. I think you better get used to that idea.
That's too bad you don't like the subject matter. I don't know what to tell you.
Salt is mined like any other mineral. In Ohio, there are salt flats where ancient seabeds that have long since evaporated used to lay. Today it is mined much like limestone or coal is mined. Salt mines used to also be great for storing nuclear waste, as it is hard for stuff to seep through.
Not sure about the Venison/water mixture, but as you state this isn't discussed.
Vercingetorix was a Celt chief, who lost out to J.Caesar.
Again, some of your posts tend to wander off topic, and borderline on the silly. While this is sometimes funny, it is not what I had in mind. While I like to see your opinons on the subject matter, I really wish you would stay focused on just that -The subject matter-
Mr. Farrell
Yeah, it's late by 1 day.
