In a traditional Turkish marriage-proposal custom, a bride-to-be serves coffee to her suitor's family - if she disapproves of the match, what might she secretly put in his cup instead of sugar?

This playful custom lets the young woman signal disapproval discreetly: a salty cup of coffee humorously communicates 'no' without an awkward confrontation.
