For context, my wife is always criticizing how I don’t add enough salt to the dishes I cook. I also have no tats. She does.
But at least you can always add more salt lol
You need to add salt as you cook. Yes, you can add it afterwards, but you don’t get the same flavor layering, food texture, salt penetration, and for some foods, the necessary chemical reactions in your dishes. In some sense, I feel confident that your wife is right based purely on the fact that you think you can just add salt after it’s cooked and get the same thing.
Source: have tattoos and cook food. 😁
I’m a white dude with no tattoos, but I have this argument all the time with my family. “You can add hot sauce and salt afterward for yourself!” That’s not how this works Susan. That’s not how any of this works. All of cooking is chemistry and physics! And get over it! If I’m cooking I’m using salt and guajillio peppers!

“Tattoos. Coke. And chronic stress. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect line cooks. But Head Chef Marco accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical Gay.”
Real and gay
The frog legs are making my monocle gay.
I think gay is tattoo equivalent for cooking…
Eating too much salt is not healthy and throwing spicy peppers when the one that are going to eat don’t handle spicy is just being an asshole tbh.
It’s normal when I’m making fucking chili Susan! And there’s a difference between too much salt and adding the appropriate amount of salt.
And research has shown that the most effective way to not have problems with too much sodium in the blood/high blood pressure is to drink more fucking water.
And the person that complains to me about the salt levels in my food? A) didn’t pay for the fucking food and B) drinks 12 fucking diet Dr peppers a day because “they are healthier.” So fuck em!
Fuck being healthy at this point tbh, I just want to have a good time until I die, we’re all fucked anyways so what’s even the point, I get to suffer longer in old age from the climate wars? Great.
As someone with dietary gout I’d say be careful what you wish for. You can suffer for a long time, non-mortal, with loads of fucking useless pain.
Gout is largely genetic. You can eat like shit and have all the gout-y foods you want if you’re not genetically predisposed to it. Your point still stands though. I don’t have first-hand experience thankfully, but being fat and out of shape, diabetic, etc., etc., etc., does not look fun.
No offense to you of course, but it just looks miserable from the outside.
Thanks doctor, but in my case it isn’t genetic. Now go be a doctor somewhere else please with your 5-minute Googly knowledge. Fucker.
Your position goes against extensive, well-documented medical research. The reality is that contemporary studies have identified numerous genetic markers directly linked to even secondary (or “dietary”) gout. It’s nearly impossible to have gout without some genetic predisposition. When secondary gout occurs it’s secondary to disease or medication, not diet – this is part of why is it’s referred to as secondary gout rather that dietary gout in contemporary literature on the topic. Yes, diet can impact flare-ups, but attributing the entire condition to lifestyle choices misses the mark on what actually causes gout at its core.
Attributing gout solely to diet isn’t just outdated; it’s misleading and contributes to misunderstandings about managing the condition. This is why you end up with people having chronic gout flares, because instead of getting on ameliorative and preventative medication, they’re trying to lower sugar, alcohol, shellfish intake, drink tart cherry juice and whatever else while still suffering from high uric acid. Gout can and will cause permanent joint damage. I’m not going to sit and bicker with you about this. You’re clearly very defensive about it, but you’d likely benefit from an updated perspective and, honestly, maybe a second opinion from a doctor who’s keeping up with current research.
Cool? The context is cooking for other people, if they don’t think the same as you you are just being an asshole.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t really thinking about the context, I’m just in a bit of a dark mood at the moment. Thank you for your reply. Much love
Well, for all it matters to me you can cook as salty as you like <3
Yeah, it generally works fine for sauces, but you’re not going to get salt to permeate into your noodles from just throwing it on top afterwards, for example.
This guy foods. He had me when said he has tattoos.
Went to a new Asian place. Cheff had no idea what vegan means. Cheff is on the phone with his family while taking my order. Cheff starts singing in mandarin while cooking. Best Asian restaurant in the city.
was his name Cheff?
Cheffery
Cheffery Cooke
It’s like they’re not even doing coke 😮💨
I was gonna say, it’s like he’s not even on meth. Are these people even trying anymore?
Add acid instead of salt. Like vinegar or lemon juice. Better flavor, healthier, and same effect. Too many people over salt it’s god awful.
2 tabs of LSD on my dinner it is!
Hey it’s been a couple of hours Are you okay
Actually, acid contributes to tooth decay. The reason sugar causes tooth decay is that bacterial metabolise the sugar using anaerobic respiration, which produces acid. When you eat acid, you skip the middleman and go straight to cavities.
Salt and acid are two separate (and central) components of building flavor.
I feel like oversalting is a popular attempted cover up for mediocrity. I’m tired of waking up the next morning after a dinner out feeling like the mummy from Brendan Fraser’s “the mummy”
Sometimes, yep. Other times people just get desensitized from eating too much of it.
People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.
To my knowledge, sensory organs also don’t dull. You might need glasses or have hearing damage, but dulling is a new one to me
Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.
Mayo clinic says yes though.
Oh cool, I will be reading that later!
my wife is always criticizing
She sounds salty
cries in hypertension
