How do you know if you don't like them, if you never taste them? Or if your tastes have changed? I used to loathe sour cream, but as I aged, my tastes matured and I grew to like it. Same with horseradish, and red wine - I used to only like white wine, but now I prefer red and don't like white much. There are some things I just won't eat again if I can possibly avoid it - broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, beer, etc. - but many things I've grown to like or dislike over the years.
Or is this a psychological quirk that has no relation to taste?
Anyway, smoked salt is one of those gourmet things that probably won't be available at a regular gbrocery store, but if you've got something like an HEB Central Market or a Whole Foods nearby, it might be there. Or you can order it. Here's one place (http://www.saltworks.us/shop/product.asp?idProduct=196), and here's another (http://www.carolinesrub.com/smoked_salt.asp) and here's the least expensive (http://www.mysecretpantry.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ISHS&gclid=CM3diqD0yIYCFSTgSQodDTM74A) I've seen so far. You'll need a pepper/spice grinder to use it - it's smoked sea salt, which comes in small chunks.
At any rate, don't worry about the price because it lasts FOREVER. I'd get a more expensive, $10-12, one just because the quality is probably better. I spent about $10 on a 4.4oz jar of Matiz brand salt over a year ago and have used just about half of it.
