“It would be odd to think that a slightly salty version of critical speech loses First Amendment protection on that basis,” he said.

For several months, the authorities had to take supplies from a river estuary where sea water mixes with fresh water, making tap water slightly salty.

The toasty, slightly salty, almond-y crumb provides texture and a contrast of flavor to the other sweet, creamy layers; and the fresh but more complex taste of the apricot preserves gives each bite a sharp pop.

Given their mildly sweet flavour, they pair a treat with slightly salty ingredients, like feta and goats' cheese, and are great when lightly crushed with the likes of zingy lemon or fiery chilli to make a punchy toast-topper, sandwich-filler or side dish.

California also hosts about 20 brackish water plants which can desalinate slightly salty water from rivers, aqueducts and other sources.
