Salt Secrets

Droitwich has forgotten more about salt than Maldon will ever know. Pepper's best pal runs so deeply in our neighbouring town's history that — get this — Droitwich genuinely used to be called Saltwich and only the Dead Sea produces a more concentrated product. Thinking there might be something in this, Moseley-based, Michelin-starred chef Brad Carter has buddied up with Droitwich Salt to produce a new range of flavoured salts: Charcoal, Sea Truffle and Coastline, all available at the Selfridges-destroying food hall at Webbs from June 10. To launch them, Bradders, as he has definitely not given us permission to call him, will showcase the secrets of expert seasoning, at Webbs, with tickets to the event including demos, drinks, street food and the goodest of goodie bags. June 10, £22.50. More
