Fortunately it's not a critical issue. And Staples is (as many retailers
are) jumping the gun on their Black Friday marketing hoop-la. So I'll be
in their nearst (to me) store Tuesday afternoon.

Morton also has a product labelled "Salt Substitute" but reading the
panel on the side tells me it's basically the same as Nu-Salt.

You might give Pink Himalayan salt some consideration - it's higher in
potassiun and magnesium and lower in sodium than conventional salts.

Cribbed from an article on 'The Spruce Eats' : "White pepper is made 
from fully ripe pepper berries. They are soaked in water for about 10 
days, leading to fermentation. Then their skins are removed, which 
removes some of the hot piperine compound, as well as volatile oils 
and compounds that give black pepper its aroma. As a result, white 
pepper has a different flavor and heat component than black pepper. 
The process used and handling of white pepper can introduce different 
flavor notes as well."

I know onbe of the icons of Fats Food - KFC uses white pepper in its
"11 Herbs & Spioces" formula. 3 times more white pepper than black it
turns out.
