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

    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.

      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.

    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”

    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.

    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.

      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!

        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.

          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.

            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

      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.
