The Salty Tooth

Weeks ago during a morning run, I proposed to The Husband the possibility of starting our own business. You see, we are of the opinion that there are way too many dining paradises for people with a "sweet tooth," and not enough for those of us who would strongly prefer a salty pretzel over a piece of gourmet chocolate. Where we live, if you have a "sweet tooth," you have your choice of The Dessert Gallery, House of Pies, The Chocolate Bar, Amy's, The Teahouse, Ben & Jerry's, Baskin Robbins, and almost any restaurant will serve a slice of cake or pie, etc etc. We do not dislike sweets- on the contrary, we very much enjoy them... but we must be in the right mood, and they must be served in moderate amounts. I cannot remember many times when The Husband has asked for seconds on dessert (unless it's a freshly baked fruit pie or a special-occassion treat). On the other hand, we could gobble down salty snacks in flash. I am convinced that I could easily eat an entire bag of Doritos chips in one sitting. I crave salty, zesty, spicy, taste-bud-popping snacks at almost all times of the day. Both The Husband and I have been known to eat pickles for breakfast, and we are constantly snacking on something salty. If there existed a business that had a "salty bar," I think we'd visit it often. But since none exist, we will open the following snack bar:

The Salty Tooth

Served on the bar for a unit price per pound, including but not excluding:

Pickles of all types and sizes

Chips of every kind and flavor

Pretzels

Peanuts and other nuts

Very tasty. My mouth is watering. Time to eat my goldfish.
