@sumpnlikefaith I love salt ... But then again, I DO have a sodium deficiency. Other people, I can't speak for!
@sumpnlikefaith I absolutely agree with it. "The flavor is better..." Yeah, because you've added the salt flavor.
@theunabeefer Ha ha! Perfect! :-)
Salt does change our perception of other flavors, making things taste less bitter, intensifies sweetness and umami flavors depending on concentration. It also plays interestingly with acid, I remember loving green, sour mangoes sprinkled with a lot of salt when I was a kid (same happens with Margaritas) @theunabeefer @sumpnlikefaith
@theunabeefer Salt definitely has its place! I work with someone who needs to eat salty stuff just to keep his blood pressure from dropping dangerously low.
I'm not disparaging salt, just gently pointing out a foible in our cultural tastes. 🙂
