"Salt really brings out the flavour!" -- people expressing their appreciation for the taste of salt.
@sumpnlikefaith I love salt ... But then again, I DO have a sodium deficiency. Other people, I can't speak for!
@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. 🙂
@sumpnlikefaith I absolutely agree with it. "The flavor is better..." Yeah, because you've added the salt flavor.
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 Ha ha! Perfect! :-)
