    EP78: 𝐹𝐼𝐸𝐿𝐷 𝑁𝑂𝑇𝐸𝑆 | Harvesting Michelin-Grade Sea Salt ↣ Ejler Hjorth-Westh

    After adventuring through his Viking homeland of Denmark, Ejler Hjorth-Westh returned to Northern California with a backpack full of interesting stories. One of those stories chimed with Robin like a cowbell in a cement mixer. During his travels, Ejler tasted the finest artisanal salt of a maker in Denmark... and was left underwhelmed. Which begs the question: If Pacific sea salt really is better, then why? In this episode, Ejler takes Robin on a mission to hunt down (and taste) what he considers the best, punchiest salt in the whole wide world. This is of course accompanied by multiple wilderness observations and scat commentary.  A big thank you to Ejler for the usual witty banter and world-beating salt. You can now follow Ejler's fledgling account on Instagram ----------------- Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date. Even better - share us with a friend who loves the outdoors.
