a Troy weight grain was based on corn? like actual corn, from the Americas? It seems like my idea of the time line is messed up.

All I know is that when I'm very skeptical of something, I'll say I'm taking it with a bucket of salt.

The pinch of salt refers to the fact that you had to alter the food after the cook presented it. You are doubting the craft of the dish.

It's like a bakers dozen. A big pinch, large (heaping) measure of salt.

In my family, we say “Take it with a grain of salt, attached to a large margarita.” 🤷♀️

as a tradesman I can tell you that measurements such as a big half inch or a skinny eighth exist in the real world.

But salt is a flavor enhancer (think it’s use is that in this case) so your skepticism isn’t salty, you take the grain to make it more palatable.

Erica Collins :
maybe you're supposed to brine a thought, really soak up all the saltiness

I always felt like this expression meant "don't give it more salt than it's worth"

You take something with a grain of salt because the thing is very small, so you don't want to use too much salt. Small thing, small seasoning.

If my mom thought someone was really dramatic she would say “take it with the whole shaker”

would we be talking about size vs volume? I mean multiple smaller grains would be as salty as a single larger grain?
