I'd no salt yesterday so was tempted to put some dishwasher salt in the grinder but i bottled it as it says ingest verboden on the packet.
Could i have suffered for it today
Interesting question.
From that Wikipedia entry:
[i]Dishwasher salt is 95% sodium chloride; an anticaking agent (e.g. sodium ferrocyanide or potassium ferrocyanide) constitutes the remaining 5%.
[Sodium ferrocyanide], like all ferrocyanide salt solutions, addition of an acid can result in the production of hydrogen cyanide gas, which is toxic.
Potassium ferrocyanide is nontoxic, and is not decomposed to cyanide in the body. [/i]
Assuming the somewhat contradictory second two statements are true, it'll presumably depend what the anti-caking ingredient is. The latter can be used in table salt, the former may or may not be safe (I'm assuming we're talking about a risk of near-homeopathic levels of exposure) but I'd be reluctant to put it on my chips with loads of vinegar.

I'd be more worried what happened when it hit's your stomach!
Good point well made. (-:
I've just bought saxo as the food was bland last night but glad i never tried it, i will use it on the frosty steps in 5 months time
