I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

table salt, iodized salt, himalayan... they're all the same for me. I don't think my taste buds are adapted to the subtle differences so cheaper ones are better.

Do yourself a favor and find some blue salt. It's absolutely better/different in flavor vs those other ones!

But as far as salt goes, you have to know when and how to use it. Finishing salts are generally added on top of food, and not mixed into recipes. You also don't want to use table salt as a finishing salt.

But try the blue salt. Seriously.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll try it when I stumble on some.
