Do you get many rose hips in Australia? Only down south I suppose, aye?
You reckon the salt stinks? haha. I used that to make wet brine and haven't noticed any smell.
But I admit I didn't really stick my nose into the jar yet. Will try the smell test next time.

Yes, we do. But I don't think I have ever seen them growing wild. I have only even seen rose bushes in gardens.

The smell of Himalayan pink salt is very subtle...You might not even notice it unless you are actually expecting an aroma...

Have you ever been camping near cows? An old trick is to put dried cow dung on your camp fire and it keeps the mossies away...It is not a bad smell. But it is very unique. A subtle aroma...Well, if you dissolve Himalayan pink salt in a little water, it smells just like burnt cow poo.

Nothing wrong with that. In fact many parts of the world use cow poo as their main fuel source for cooking and heating. I just find it interesting that pink salt smells just like burnt cow poo.
