I observed that when desi people move to new location, they keep salt in their kitchen before buying any other spice and appliances.

What is the logic behind this behavior?

Could be many reason

Having a pinch of salt before food , some say islamically encourage

Can be its cheap compare with rest of spices

Or having some after having nausea from travelling/moving in

because whenever I think of spices, this is the order it comes into my mind :

namak, mirch, haldi and so on ????

My mom once said in this regard either moving or reaching home after a long flight (been there done that as a child)…

All you need is salt and eggs…and that can be your dinner with pita bread…scrambled eggs that is. Now if you didn’t have salt I don’t know what kinda dinner that would be…:clown:

When Karna found out the Pandavas were his brothers, he still was salt-bound to fight against them and on the side of Duryodhana and the Kauravas.
