> salt mixtures, like salt with spices
Yeah I forgot about those, I just think of them as spices. Those are too much for me, they make everything taste the same.

I see. And plenty of videos of it apparently.

Probably it is, we call the same in Hungarian. Cooked, smoked. Which is weird since traditionally it's either/or, but these are both.
