Am I the only one who 'dipped in salt'?

I just had a memory where having dinner at my nans we would have a puddle of ketchup to dip chips etc in, but we'd also have a salt pile to dip chips etc in. This was in the early 90's when everyone smoked in the house also (and my nan 'as a treat' would let me eat a slice of pure butter, usually also which was dipped in salt)

Anyone else experience this?
