I was a bit disappointed about some of Marco Polos adventures not being true. Even if I don't know about any of his adventures, it's still a pretty big let down.
I got really excited when I got to read about the Chinese again, I missed them. The enjoyed their finer grained salts. This sparked my interest, but I liked the part about soy sauce a lot more. Mostly because we all know that you can not stay alive on fine grained salt and water alone. Throw some soy in there though, and you're good to go.
So pretty much after that I found out that Venice lost their big old salt ship in the sea and took over Cyprus and made it an insanely awesome salt producing island. Talk about crazy.

I eat cheese every once and awhile. I eat mac&cheese...that stuff is pretty good. I think me and the cheese master would have been good friends though. He has pretty skilled hands so I'm sure he would know alot about daily life. I eat salami at work, but thats only because the chicken smells funky. I think I am pretty sane too. The big salty jerks.
ps. I'm NOT buying your salt recipe book...it sounds like CRAP
Way too short!
Your sarcasm continues to limit your ability to effectively convey information about the text. Some parts of your entry are vague at best, while others tend to wander or babble.
You also leave a lot of information out of this chapter. There are spots that need to be more specific, but lack depth.
For someone who will be visiting Venice next summer, I thought you might have found this chapter a bit more interesting or relevant?
Guess not.
