Dave,

I assumed he was thinking of a rub which has salt and sugar and didn't
know how to say it, but I don't know, he is a valid poster on RFC so i
took it with a grain of salt. Hopefully he'll post again and clarify. I
work with a guy born and raised in Italy and his english is good but
there have been times of verbal confusion.
